Word and music © M.J.Harte (imro) 06.
I
Lately I’ve been thinking ‘bout the early days and all the things you said.
Baby how I must have screwed it up for you although that was not planned.
Maybe if you let me now I’ll try to make it somehow up to you
Then maybe we could learn to live together now just like we used to do.
(Lift)
We never want the same things anymore,
We only seem to be obsessed, with keeping scores.
(chorus)
I’ll take you for a ride, to the other side,
I’ll take you for a ride, leave it all behind yeah.
II
I used to try so hard but now I’m thinking how those days have long since gone.
And what’s the use in trying hard, when all I’ve ever tried to do was wrong.
But I don’t wanna be the one to say that this was never meant to be.
So maybe we could try a little harder now if only just for me.
(lift)
Cause we never want the same things anymore, we only seem to be obsessed with keeping scores,
We never want the same things anymore; we only wanna be the one whose right, no matter what the price.
(chorus)
I’ll take you for a ride, to the other side. Ill take you for a ride’ leave it all behind
I’ll take you for a ride, I’d never want to change you though, oh no, I only wanna
(Bridge)
See you smile again.. I only want to see you smile again..
I only wanna see you .. To see you smile again.. Again.. Again..
(outro)
To see you smile again…
Just like you used to, just like you used to do…. etc
Nanny State
Word and music © M.J.Harte (imro) 06.
I
Come Make a plan, draw a line in the sand.
Figure out while we can, where this all first began.
Well it’s alright, don’t let ‘em get you down.
II
So many ways for us now to obey, all the things that they say,
It’s a game that they play, well it’s alright don’t let ‘em get you down, down..
Get you down. Get you down
(chorus)
Sometimes you see the strangest things.
Sometimes you wait for what it brings.
Sometimes you say just how it is .. how it is.
III
Don’t let up, go there’s a place to bestow, all the seeds that you sow, in the good winds will grow, well it’s alright, don’t let ‘em get you down..Yeah it’s alright don’t let em get you down..
(chorus)
(Bridge)
There’s something stinking in the straight and narrow corridors
Don’t wait, they’re building Nanny states.
They’re building nanny states.
Sometimes you see the strangest things.
Sometimes you wait for what it brings (x2)
(VI)
Leave It All Behind
Words and music © M.J.Harte (imro 06)
I
Somebody stole the words from your lips
Stole them good this time.
Somebody knows just what it is
that’s on your mind
I wish it weren’t true, and I’ll try somehow to comfort you.
(chorus)
And it’s only just beginning
You know you’ve gotta save yourself this time.
And it’s only just beginning
You know its best to leave it all behind.
You gotta leave it all behind.
II
Some days are good
Yeah some days you just take it in your stride.
Some days you should
You should’ve stayed in bed or found a place to hide.
I wish it weren’t true but they’re only out to break you.
(chorus) as before
…. You gotta leave it all behind.. You gotta leave it all behind.
That’s easier said than done though.
Can't Let Go
Word and music © M.J.Harte (I.M.R.O.) ‘06
I
It’ll raise you then let go,
You’ll have nothing left to show
for it all I know.
There’s no justice where you’ve been
And you try harder to fit in…lets begin
(chorus)
Welcome to the race, your face looks out of place
These things I can’t erase, it’s time to feel the pace.
I know inside it hurts it’s hard to brake the curse
This maybe something worse, your wounded the bubble’s burst
Oh yeah, you can’t let go and you try
You can’t let go it’s your high.
You know it’s gonna hurt, your digging in the dirt yeah
You can’t let go and you try
You can’t let go its your high,
You know it’s gonna hurt your digging and your searching.. Searching.
II
Cynicism is your friend, it’ll save you in the end, don’t you understand,
All the things you try to hide will only serve to drive you wild…
Lets take a ride!
(chorus) as before
Can’t let go and you try (repeat)
Welcome to the race..etc (repeat)
Bring Me Down
Word and music © M.J.Harte (I.M.R.O.) ‘06
I
Take your words and save, them for a rainy day.
There’s nothing left to say, nothing left to say.
Take a lifetime now and turn it upside down
There’s nothing left today, nothing anyway.
And all I can do is let go of you.
You never really needed anyone
All you need is your fun.
(chorus)
and how can you say that you love me.
oh and how can you say that you do
how can you say that our love is true
II
Take some photographs’ and make the moments last,
‘Cause all these things will pass, yeah nothing ever lasts forever.
Don’t be foolish or afraid, sometimes it’s best now just to wave.
Goodbye to yesterday.
And all I can say, we’ve thrown it away.
I never wanna feel this way again..
you know it drives me insane.
(chorus)
how can you say that you love me ,
oh and how can you say that you do.
How can you say that our love is true.
Oh yeah our love is true.
When all you do is bring me down.
You always said you’d bring me down
You’re only there to bring me down.
Fill up my cup then bring me down.
Down..down.. down.. down.. down.. down..
And how can you say that you love me..
Oh and how can you say that you do
And how can you say that our love is true..
Yeah I love you
I Won't Wait
Word and music © M.J.Harte (I.M.R.O.) ‘06
I
I wont wait another day, No I won’t wait no matter what you say,
And I won’t wait another day for you.
I won’t wait another hour, and I wont wait at your ivory tower,
And I won’t wait another hour for you.
(chorus)
So tell me is it true. Tell me are you coming through.
Tell me was it good for you or just a phase..
Oh tell me true. Tell me please.
II
I won’t wait another minute, No I won’t wait cause I’m never in it
And I won’t wait another minute for you.
(chorus)
Hey yeah e yeah e yeah (x3)
III
I won’t wait another day No I won’t another hour
And I won’t wait another minute,
No I won’t wait till the cows come home,
And I wont wait until they’ve build Rome.
No I won’t wait another second for you.
Another second for you..
(chorus)
wake up wake up, wake up wake up, and let it go
wake up wakeup, wake up wake up, it’s later than you think.
(I wont wait)
I’m gonna let it go now….
Live And Learn
Words and music © M.J.Harte /C. Kane (imro 06)
I
We’ve both been here before, we’ve both been here for sure.
Come outside the water’s cold, come now lets fill our souls.
(chorus)
I didn’t want the world, to see me fall again
I’m picking up the pieces of all the ghosts within,
I’m tired and I’m frightened, we might crash and burn
Still my heart longs for that someone… you Live and you Learn.
II
We’ve both been here before, both hurt and insecure.
(Don’t you know, don’t you know)?
The past has fallen, there’s a new love calling.
Come now lets fill our souls
(chorus)
(Bridge)
You Live and you learn, from the love of a mother.
You Live and you learn, in the arms of another.
You live and you learn from your sisters and brothers.
You live and you learn, oh yeah.
I didn’t want the world, to see me fall again.
I’m picking up the pieces of all the ghosts,
Of all the ghosts within …
I didn’t want the world I didn’t want the world.
(Sometimes you gotta learn to live again) x2
Come on and hold on, hold on again.x2
You got to learn to hold on to love, hold on to life, hold on to love…
Live Forever
Words and music © M.J.Harte (imro 06)
(chorus)
I said maybe we could live forever (x3)
Said maybe we could live, yeah maybe we could live….
I
Forever is a long long time to shine
And hold your head up high above the waves
To save yourself from being drowned
Beneath a sea so deep that only things
Like truth can get you through, rescue you,
Save your skin. Happiness within, begins when you start
To love yourself it’s true, it’s true what I’m telling you.
(chorus) as before
II
Forever is a long long day away
It’s hard enough now just to stay alive,
survive, and understand the state of mind
To fly so high just like a bird I’m free up in the sky,
Goodbye, I’m gonna leave you all behind.
(chorus) as before
(bridge)
Forever… together… (x3)
I said maybe we could live, I said maybe we could live.
Etc
Nine Lives
Words and music © M.J.Harte (imro 06).
I
Sometimes love isn’t magic, sometimes love is just tragic.
Sometimes love is just a risk you take, will you break,
Forsake it all, will you stand or fall.
II
Sometimes love isn’t worth it. Sometimes love you wanna curse it.
Sometimes love you wanna break away, but you stay,
Yeah you stay, yeah you stay… all I say..
(chorus)
One, two, three, ain’t no love to rescue me.
Four, five, six, seen them all those dirty tricks.
Seven, eight, nine lives, I’ll need ‘em all just to get it right.
I’ll need them all just to get it right,
I’ll need them all just to get it right.
III
Sometimes love is only wasted, on the young they’re so complacent.
Sometimes love you make the wrong decisions.
And you live and you die by them, then you try to start again.
(chorus) as before.
Na na na na na na… no no no no no ..
IV
Sometimes love is complicated. And just a little over rated.
Sometimes love you never know, when it’s gonna come and go
If it’s gonna come and go, but don’t you know.
(chorus) x2
Skellig song (just u & me)
Words and music © M.J.harte (I.M.R.O ’06)
I
Wouldn’t you like to be, lost away down by the sea.
In a room with a view
Wouldn’t that be so nice maybe just once or twice
We could talk openly.. just You and Me.
(chorus)
‘cause we let so many things get in our way.
And we never say just what we wanna say.
Now it’s time for us to take a holiday.
II
Wouldn’t that be beautiful, if we could take all that we own.
And throw it out into the breeze.
Wouldn’t that clear our minds, just enough so we might find.
What the future holds you see’ for just You and Me.
(chorus) as before
(bridge)
Far away out to the sea…. Far away for you and me.
We’ll climb onto the baron rocks, where only birds and pilgrims Stop.
Wouldn’t you like to be, lost away down by the sea
Just you and me…
Wish You Well
Words and music © M.J.harte (I.M.R.O ’06)
I
And I wish you well, oh I wish you luck
And I wish that I had have never screwed it up.
And I wish the stars to guide you home
And I wish that you and I love would never feel alone.
Oh oh no no..
II
And I wish that you could taste these tears
And I wish that I had have learned to face My fears.
And I wish for something new to say,
But I just can’t seem to find the words today.
(chorus)
and I never really knew what to say
oh I never really cared much anyway
no I never really knew what I had lost
‘till you where gone, ‘till you where gone, long gone.
III
And I wish the saviour would arise
and place the sunlight back into my eyes.
And I wish the nights to never come
And I wish that I could find a new someone.
(chorus) as before
(Bridge)
gone gone gone gone gone…
suddenly a voice I hear, on the line it feels so near.
But like a dream it’s not true. I’m still here without you, without you.
(chorus) x2
ADDITIONAL LYRICS
Additional track lyrics:
- Sound Of The Summer
Sound Of The Summer
I’m a little bit crazy,
Can you save me Dr. Landy
It’s just a little bit hazy, feeling lazy
I can’t stand it.
Still there’s one place left to go,
Time to get out don’t you know.
To the sound of the summer
And it’s taking me over
Oh the sound of the summer. In my ears
And I’ll disappear...
Just a hallucination,
A small complication in my mind,
I’m just a little bit lonely,
Don’t you know me, I’ll be fine.
Now that the summer days are here
(One more chance to steal the show)
All that’s ringing in my ears
Is the sound of the summer
And it’s taking me over
Oh the sound of the summer. In my ears
And I’ll disappear
To the sound of the summer
Oh and you swear that you love her,
With the sound of the summer
In my ears
And I’ll disappear
Summertime on the beach Summertime feel the heat
Summertime x3
Ya!Ya!
With the sound of the summer.

Here At The Right Time (J.Ritter)
Under what blue skies
There's a place to lie
For me
And Evelyn to hide tonight
I try my best to make a go
And I'm not sure what I don't know
Ah Chariots
If you're out there then please swing low
Tell me I got here at the right time
If I did it's probably the first time
No second guesses or secret signs
Tell me I got here at the right time
Oh you're red in the eyes
Either too low or too high
When I met you, you were sick
But you did not know why
I was a pretty poor cure
My love for you was always sure
Ah the bucket was broken
But the water was pure
Sometimes Right, Sometimes Wrong (M. Harte)
Spare a thought then take time to
Think about it, me and you
Sometimes Right, Sometimes Wrong
It's better than it's ever been
All the things, I've never seen
Sometimes right, sometimes wrong
What's a man
Supposed to do
When he finds
Someone like you
I give my heart
You know it's true
What's a man supposed to do
Friends might say, I'm compromised
But I guess they'll never realise
Until they've found a love like you
Then they'll understand, what a man's supposed to do
Though there were times
We thought we wouldn't make it
Oh darling
Something got me, something got me through
You're the one.
Never Wanna Let U Down (M. Harte)
You wouldn't forget it
I told you that it would only leave a bitter taste
Now look what you've started
There's no use pretending it's any other way
You say the finest things in life are free
Like me and all those little insecurities
Like a ship lost at sea, so low, rescue me
You know I never wanna let u down
Like two storms that collide, the thorn in your side
You know I never wanna let u down
Take all that you can now
I hope that you've learned to how stand on your own
Though it's true, that I knew
You were always better off that way
There Must Be Love (M. Harte)
You've been talking on the telephone
You say you're fine on your own
There must be a resolution
We must try find the solution
There must be love
Left in your heart somewhere
There must be love
Left in your heart 'cause I swear
I left it there
They talk in their conversations
We're the perfect combination
I believe you hold the key
The future's bright for you and me
The Island (P. Brady)
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
They're showing pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the street
And we're still at it in our own place
Still trying to reach the future through the past
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone
But hey! Don't listen to me
This wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've heard too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
'Til the morning due comes falling
I wanna take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when the sun goes down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
They're raising banners over by the markets
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown
No way our holy flag is gonna fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead us into glory
Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
And I know this peace and love's just copping out
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
Is just what being free is all about
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
Will bring us all together in the end
And we'll go marching down the road to freedom
Freedom
I Need You (M. Harte)
I thought it was only in fairy tales that wishes came true
But I believe I might be the exception to that odd point of view
Like sunshine, in my life, you've come to rescue me
The rain clouds have gone from my heart
I thought it was almost impossible to carry through
There once was a time where I cried myself to sleep
But now I found you
Like sunshine, in my life, you've come to rescue me
The rain clouds have gone from my heart to set me free
And I know, yeah
I need something to hold on to,
Just to get me through,
To love me too, I need you…
It's true
Total Love (M. Harte/ T. Kerr)
Give me the simple life
A little paradise
Not that complicated anyway
I can see it in your eyes
Time to realise
What we got is total love
It's total love
You can't find it everywhere
Cause its true love
The kind of love we share
Two worlds, me and you
It's total love
When my world is cold
You come to warm my soul
What's that something that you give to me
Give me sanity
Easy now to see
What we got is total love
It's only natural, only fair
Feeling I need love to know you care
Like the air we breathe in
All that we need is total love
It's total love
Makin' dreams come true
A Chance For You And Me (M. Harte)
I see, the fire that you talk
I hear the words, and know how they shock me
Maybe
We could get a room, talk it through
Find out what I mean to you
And if it's true
Maybe there's a chance for me and you
I know you hear what I say
I know you never see it that way
We've Got The World (K. Molloy/M. Brannigan)
She stands under moonlight
She touches her hair
Her smile lights emotion
Her love fills the air
And I know you're my every tomorrow
And I know that you'll always be there
We've got the world tonight
Let's hold on together
And we've got a love that's right
So open your heart
We've got tonight
We move even closer
With hope in our eyes
Cos love is the answer
To the hurt and the lies
Ask me why?
The sun and the moon go round
Ask me why?
My feet never touch the ground
Tell the truth
You take my breath away
