The Girls Downstairs
It was a mid-summer daylight scene
the eyes of Ireland wouldn't miss her green
in foreign skies where dreams could be free.
The Keo beers and the brandy sours
would keep us laughing to the morning hours
we were diving, jiving, we were rocking' and rollin'
A photograph that will last with the girls downstairs.
A photograph that will last with the girls downstairs.
Little Marie nearly slept the floor
Gráinne fought the law and more
and Emer the schemer just reckoned it wasn't so bad.
Pretty girls clogging up my system
but I know that I'll miss them
and the best days we could ever have.
A photograph that will last with the girls downstairs
A photograph that will last with the girls downstairs.
What was going through our heads
we were rocking' while the town was dead.
A photograph that will last with the girls downstairs
A photograph that will last with the girls downstairs.

The Honda Jazz Song
You can name it Chloe or Clive
A car you're granny should drive
So it's not an MX5
No it won't make you sexy and alive.
Has ability to subdue road rage
for who can rage in a Honda Jazz
with integrity.
Does the job from A to B
On it's own side of the street it fits neatly
It can swerve so easily
Dodging all those SUVs
Has humility to say
'Don't force your Right of Way'
even when it is
even when it is
Half the size of a 4x4
Half the speed of a 4x4x4
1, 2, 3, 4
(Long live the Honda Jazz
Long live the Honda Jazz)
It's also made in Japan
(Long live the Honda Jazz)
I know this ain't Rock 'n Roll man
(Long live the Honda Jazz)
Anything up to seventeen grand
(Long live the Honda Jazz)
Can take you to the promised land
I'd rather be crushed underneath
the wheels of a Honda Jazz
than a SUV 4x4.

Man Nerd
And I might not be as cool as 1D
And I might not be as young as JB
And I might not be living like a Goodfella
cause when it rains I much prefer an umbrella
Too much energy to be cool.
And life might not be as glamorous as Jay-Z's
Droopy-ass Holisters hanging round my bony knees
and I might not be covered in body art -
barbed-wire, spider-web, Japanese calligraphy
Too much energy to be cool
Too much energy to be cool.
Man Nerd
No skinny jeans to cruise around in limousines
And I might not be setting new trendy scenes
Once upon a time I'd spiky orange-coloured hair
Drainpipes, safety pins, bum-flaps, and mohair
And all that energy to be cool
And all that energy to be cool
Man Nerd.

If All I Ever Know
If all I ever know of love is this
If all I ever know of love is this.
Let me for once not be afraid to be wrong
or wildly leap to conclusions
if all I ever know of love is this.
Let me for once not pull out the pin
and hurl back blame.
Let me for once find the lost
forgotten backbone of faith that won't deceive
if all I ever know of love is this.
Let me for once not rally troops behind
every bayonet word.
If all I ever know of love is this
If all I ever know of love is this.
Such words are faster than wisdom
is there ever a speech more graceful than silence
that leads us to remember foolish mouths
can wreak havoc in the heart's high country
such words are faster than wisdom
such words are faster than wisdom.

White Man (on Budva Beach)
White man on Budva Beach
been like that for the last two weeks.
Not one sunbeam penetrates
his sun factor 58
You won't see him on Instagram
he blends in with the fine white sand.
His mates slap on the baby oil
but he just reflects the sun.
Up against the white marble wall
his shadow is the only thing you see at all
White man, white man on Budva Beach.
Norn Iron milk bottle white
Tippex advert or Ultrabrite.
'Show us your white bits' remains the call
round the back of the dinner hall.
Up against the white marble wall
his shadow is the only thing you see at all
White man, white man on Budva Beach.
Never blessed with olive skin
like a man he takes it on the chin
for on the catwalks out in Japan
beautiful white skin beats a tan.
White man, white man on Budva Beach.

Man Flu (Get Well Soon)
It's that time of year again: Man Size tissues
this is how I'm feeling right now so don't be heartless
Get the central heating on these are epidemic times
Oh my God I really, really don't want to die.
Get well soon.
Never slept a wink down with man flu last night
I'm not sure I'm going to make it through tonight
Tell the kids I love them tell them all about me
My season ticket's sitting beside the flat-screen telly
Get well soon.
At least I've got my stock of Zombie fiction
my soup and channel CBeeBees
Get well soon.
Thank the stars only half the population's infected
You'll never know the horror only men understand.
Child birth is a walk in the park so don't be offended
Science proves men suffer more thank God we don't get pregnant.
(you make it sound so trivial, love)
At least I've got my stock of Zombie fiction
my soup and channel CBeeBees
Get well soon.
