EOTMPB

SOONER OR LATER (S. O'Néill / D. O'Néill / S. Mack)

In the beginning

I used to sit around at home

Until I found

I couldn`t tell right from wrong

And go searching for the things

That would help to keep me

Holding on

I`d dumbly smile

In the shelter of my lonely room

My lips would part

Disguising the saddest gloom

The raw land rolls where night`s lit by a tragic moon

Backhand deal`s what the whole world feels

Sooner or later

Shatters every beat of my heart

Of my heart

The unsighted shores

Of the undone bird that blesses me

From angel strands

To the blatant factories

Inflicting all their pains while ignoring other`s

Misery

Backhand deal`s what the whole world feels

Sooner or later

Shatters every beat of my heart

Of my heart

EVERY LITTLE BIT (S. O'Néill)

The factory fleshtones

The neon green lines

Either lovers or losers

A million meantimes

Darling I`ve fallen`

But every bit hurts

The great open skies

Just make it seem worse

The blankets are beaten

The coffee`s grown cold

A sweetheart complexion

That never seems old

Darling I`ve fallen`

But every bit hurts

The great open skies

Just make it seem worse

The lonely days

The longest nights

The simple things

That make it right

The lonely days

The longest nights

The simple things

That make it right

Darling I`ve fallen`

But every bit hurts

The great open skies

Just make it seem worse

Darling I`ve fallen`

But every bit hurts

The great open skies

Just make it seem worse

Darling I`ve fallen`

But every bit hurts

The great open skies

Just make it seem worse

CELLOPHANE (S. O'Néill)

In a world and in it`s sounds

In any street in any town I go

There`s a wreckage of desire

Of feelings never hired or sold

Where cellophane and thunder always come

And the factories of fantasies belong

I can only find the murder machine

From a notion of the times

To the hoodlum kitchen minds that die

From every mutant hour

To those who have the power who don`t try

Where the surplus sounds of sanity grow hoarse

And an abject slave mentality gets worse

I can only find the murder machine

CANDY LOVE SATELLITE (S.O'Néill / S. Mack)

Whenever she comes

Time it stands still

Whatever she`s done

Time it stands still

The damage she`s done

Candy love satellite

Whenever she comes

There`s no reaction to me

Whenever she comes

She`s comes you can`t see

The damage she`s done

Like some judge no reaction to me

Candy love satellite

When she puts her eyes on me

Rocketships far as I can see

Gotta watch my velocity

I`m falling too fast she`s a hazard to me

Heavenly she looks divine

Moving past the speed of time

My head`s in orbit

My mouth is wet

Look out now

`Cos here she comes again

Whatever she`s done

There`s no protection for me

Stranger than no fiction

Like a stranger she seems

The secrets she keeps

Her mystery fueled

By the secrets she keeps

Candy love satellite

HERE IT IS...TAKE IT! (C. McLaughlin)

Gotta go back

Gotta go back to go forward

Gotta go back

Gotta go back to go forward

It`s kinda funny

When you look around

Inspiration Isn`t something easily found

Rich are gangsters Charging for the begging bowl

The poor are happy happy Only when they`ve sold their souls

Gotta go back

Gotta go back to go forward

Gotta go back

Gotta go back to go forward

High Low

Try To get a foothold on the ladder

Sacrifice Belief and pride

`Cause High Is low

Yeah

Have and have not

You haven`t earned it brother

Have and have not

You haven`t earned it brother

When one is not

One must take something has to give

When one is not

One must take something has to give

It`s kinda funny When you look around

Inspirations That`s not something easily found

Rich are gangsters Charging for the begging bowl

The poor are happy happy happy

Only when they`ve sold their souls

Have and have not

You haven`t earned it brother

Have and have not

You haven`t earned it brother

Hey oh oh

Gotta go back

Gotta go back to go forward

Gotta go back

Gotta go back to go forward

Gotta go back

Gotta go forward

THE PRICE OF MY SOUL (C. McLaughlin)

In your poisoned mind

Bloated by your reign

Are your feelings dead

Sacrificed for gain

Oversights will shout

Contradictions scream

Pay them no heed

In your warped daydream

Blissful ignorance betrays you

All your false virtues will craze you

Your sense of justice will turn round and will betray you

Broken hearts can wield more power

Than a champagne life turned sour

Your alibies are growing weaker by the hour

You`ve forgotten to look `round you

Maybe privilege makes you blind

And arrogance ignores the lessons

The ones I know we`ll keep in mind

Buying self-respect

Plastic happiness

It`s a house of straw

It`s a cash caress

But it`s out of bounds

There`s no way you could afford

Or try to understand

The price that`s on my soul

You`ve forgotten to look `round you

Maybe privilege makes you blind

And arrogance ignores the lessons

The ones I know we`ll keep in mind

GROOVE CHECK (C. McLaughlin / R. O`Gormain / S. Mack)

THE BOTTOM LINE (R. O`Gormain)

So you want to break our spirit yeah

So you want to sap our strength

Seems to all intents and purposes

That you`ll go to

Any lenght

Sha-la-la-la-la oh-my-my

So you think you`re real superiour

With some God given right

To abuse

Confuse

Degrade

Deride

Despise

And destroy

God it`s been so long now

Give us back our self respect

Sha-la-la-la-la oh-my-my

Sha-la-la-la-la

Give us back our self respect

Sha-la-la-la-la oh-my-my

Sha-la-la-la-la

TENSION (S. O'Néill / C. McLaughlin / R. O`Gormain)

In struggle for self determination

Progress and change must soon be seen

The pain endured

Though you haven`t heard a word

Of truth from corrupt authorities

People say what People like

But when the tension burn it`s like Dynamite

We`ve had oppression

And mass manipulation

The cencorship of soul`s a tragedy

No more sleepless nights

Just for the civil rights

Of expressing our own identities

People say what People like

And when the tension burn it`s like Dynamite

So think of Seamus Heany

Won`t make you feel alone

O`Faolain Joyce and Macken

Digging for our souls

So think of Seamus Heany

Won`t make you feel alone

O`Faolain Joyce and Macken

Digging for our souls

People say what People like

But when the tension burn it`s like Dynamite

Suppressive midget minds creating

A bankruptcy of hate against belief

But we`re making giant strides

Of knowledge love and pride

Resilience of spirit still remains

People say what People like

But when the tension burn it`s like Dynamite

Nothing ever changes

Nothing

TIRED SHATTERED MAN (D. O'Néill / R. O`Gormain)

Tired shattered man

I do the best I can

Tired shattered man

I do the best

The best I can

First impressions tell a part of the story

Broken dreams in the shadows that follow me

First impressions tell a part of the story

Broken dreams in the shadows that follow me

Tired shattered man

I do the best I can

Tired shattered man

I do the best

The best I can

Double standards point the way to hypocrisy

Cynicism and a fatal discovery

Double standards point the way to hypocrisy

Cynicism and a fatal discovery

Tired shattered man

I do the best

The best I can

Tired shattered man

I do the best

The best I can

Always hoping it would all be so clear to me

All I find is a tide of uncertainty

I was hoping that you wanted to fool me

All I find is a tide of uncertainty

Always hoping it would all be so clear to me

Now I know that you`re just out of reach to me

Always hoping it would all be so clear to me

Now I know that you`re just out of reach to me

Out of reach

Do do

Do do do do do

Do do

Do do do do do

GOGGLEBOX (C. McLaughlin / S. Mack)

You were once sugarcoated

Now you`ve got a drugged embrace

All your brains have been scrambled

And I cannot stand the taste

I was going going going down

I can`t take it

I can`t take it no more

Stooges swear at each other

Hieroglyphic tongues that twist

Take a look at what`s offered

Proffered cheek and Judas kiss

For this TV creed that aims to please

Washes whiter cures disease

My head`s aching

My heads cracking in two

Flip-Flop Flip-Flop

Decimate the Gogglebox

Flip-Flop Flip-Flop

Decimate the Gogglebox

An electric connection

Where the modern lovers meet

Make your reptile selection

Bask in radiation heat

Do you wonder why you want to cry

Each time you try to close your eyes

I`m gonna smash it

I`m gonna smash it apart

Flip-Flop Flip-Flop

Decimate the Gogglebox

Flip-Flop Flip-Flop

Decimate the Gogglebox

Flip-Flop Flip-Flop

Decimate the Gogglebox

Flip-Flop Flip-Flop

Decimate the Gogglebox

UNDER THE SKY (C. McLaughlin / R. O`Gormain)

Fourteen floors high

And I`ve lost my tongue

All I want is yesterday

And today has just begun

Newsprint and loose change

In the ashtray that`s my heart

This chain could stretch for evermore

Without an end without a start

Still this sickness lingers on

Sweat soaked dreams and I`m falling apart

Though I`ve looked a thousand times

Nothing human comes to mind

Fourteen floors high

And I`ve lost my tongue

All I want is yesterday

And today has just begun

Newsprint and loose change

In the ashtray that`s my heart

This chain could stretch for evermore

Without an end without a start

Feels like psychosis closing in

When all the world inspires is fright

No sense of freedom just denial

Why limit dreams to black and white
