Over In Killarney Many years ago My Mother sang a song to me In tones so sweet and low; Just a simple little ditty In her good old Irish way And Id give the world to hear her sing That song of hers today Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Hush now dont you cry! Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Thats an Irish lul-la-by Oft, in dreams I wander To that cot again I feel her arms a-hugging me As when she held me then And I hear her voice a humming To me as in days of yore When she used to rock me fast asleep Outside the cabin door Another verse... Oh I can hear that music I can hear that song Filling me with memories Of a mothers love so strong Its melody still haunts me These many years gone bye Too ra loo ra loo ral Until the day I die

So let us follow Boffyflow and Spike down through the days of the leaves. Boffy is covered with leaves completely the buckijit and Spike is in hysterics. On they go, on and on up the small incline, gathering sacks of leaves for burning in the clearing and waiting on McDole McDole has not been seen nor heard of since Halloween and everyone is getting a trifle nervous. Spike took the sheet of paper from his inside coat pocket and tried to decipher the code, but as he glanced over the page, he realised he had not noticed the note in the margin that said It means what it means, followed by, Wee Alfie at the Castle picturehouse on the Castlereagh Road, whistling on the corner next door where he kept Johnny Mack Browns horse. O Solo Mio by McGimsey and the man who played the saw outside the city hall. Pastie suppers down at Davys Chipper, gravy rings, barmbracks, wagon wheels, snowballs. A Sense of Wonder On and on. Spike and Boffyflow tramping with sacks of leaves over the Gransha road to Ballystockart and back again. Puck up said Boffy, It means what it means and we have a windfall. If were not daft enough to burn these leaves, we can freeze them til next Autumn, study them and then let them decompose. If we can get in touch with your man, I would strongly advise him to do ditto with the documents Just at that moment, as if by a strike of faith, McDole came round the bent on a bike. Okay lads, youre on to something, dont blow it. Go out to the Isle and have a few scoops on me. The boys drove out in the charabanc to Daft Eddies and ordered up. And so down to work putting the documents in perspective. McDole got out the accordian and started to wail When heart is open theres loads from Ballygowan to Ballyhacamore. He spun round on one leg, grabbing Spike by the lapels, Youre terrible you are. You blurt. He put away six doubles of Jameson from the bar and sank into a deep apathetic slumber, mumbling Blinkin Cowboys, Blinkin Cowboys... ------------------------------------------------------------ Van wrote this , and included an instrumental of the same name on that album. Some of the text from this piece also appears in the lyrics for A Sense of Wonder

Your street, rich street or poor You should always be sure of your street Theres a place in your heart, when you know from the start You cant be complete without a street Keep movin on, through the joy and the pain Sometimes you gotta look back to the street again Would you prefer all those castles in Spain Or a view of the street from your window pane? And you walked around in the heart of town Listening for that sound And the street only knew your name When the street only knew your name, your name There was Walter and Joy, Katie and Roy Used to hang out round the corner lamplight Get together sing some songs Like Boppin the Blues - you make me feel alright That was long before fortune and fame Nothing to lose and so much to gain Everyone knew who everyone was And they knew it because of the street And you walked around in the heart of town Listening for that sound When the street only knew your name When the street only knew your name, oh your name And you walked around in the heart of town Listening for that sound When the street only knew your name When the street only knew your name We were singing Be Bop A Lula, Who Slapped John? When the street only knew your name

Theres a small cafe on the outskirts of town Ill be there when the sun goes down Where the roadside bends And it twists and turns Every new generation And Ill be praying to my higher self Dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground Theres a roadside jam playin on the edge of town In a town called Paradise near the ancient highway When the train whistle blows All the sadness that Hank Williams knows And the river flows Call them pagan streams and it spins and turns In a factory in a street called Bread in East Belfast Where Georgie knows best What its like to be Daniel in the lions den Got so many friends only most of the time When the grass is high and the rabbit runs Though its talkin to you and i And every new generation comes to pay The dues of the organ grinder jam And the grinders switch of the sacrifice Everybody made to be rational with understanding And Ill be praying to my higher self Oh, dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground What about all the people living in the nightmare hurt That wont go away no matter how hard they try Theyve got to pay time and time again, time and time again Ill be praying to my higher self And Ill be standin there, where the boats go by When the sun is sinking way over the hill On a Friday evening when the sun goes down On the outskirts of town, I wanna slip away I wanna slip away, got to get away And Ill be praying to my higher self Dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground, dont let me down Youll be cryin again, youll be cryin again, youll be cryin again By the same wipe the teardrops from your eyes Have to slip away in the evening when the sun goes down Over the hill, with a sense of wonder Everything gonna be right on a Friday evening All the cars go by all along down The ancient highway And Ill be praying, Ill be praying to my higher self Dont let me down, keep my feet, keep my feet on the ground Keep my feet on the ground Travelling like a stranger in the night, all along the ancient highway Got you in my sights, got you on my mind Ill be praying in the evening when the sun goes down Over the mountain, got to get you right in my sight As the beams on the cars from the overpass On the ancient highway shine like diamonds in the night Like diamonds in the night Ill be praying to my higher self, to my higher self Dont let me down, dont let me down And youll be standing there, while the boats go by While the boats go by on a Friday evening Shining your light, shining your light on a Friday evening Got to slip away, got to slip away down that ancient highway In a town called Paradise, in a town, in a town All along, all along that road, all along that road All along that road with the trancelike vision Ill be praying to my higher self, dont let me down, dont let me down Keep my feet on the ground, keep my feet on the ground Keep my feet on the ground Friday evening got to slip away Watching the view from a car from the overpass And were driving down that ancient road Shining like diamonds in the night, oh diamonds in the night All along the ancient highway Got you in my sight, got you in my mind Got you in my arms and Im praying, and Im gonna pray Im gonna pray, to my higher self, ah dont let me down Dont let me down, give me the fire, ah give me the fire
Well you know sometimes it gets so hard And everything dont seem to rhyme I take a walk out in my backyard and go Do do loo do do, do do loo do do Waiting for the sun to shine And you know sometimes it gets so painful Just like talking to yourself When everything dont seem to have no rhyme or reason we all go Do do loo do do, do do loo do do Waiting for the sun to shine We move along Keep singing our song Straight to your heart like a cannonball La la ti da, la la ti da... Doo do loo do do..... Waiting for the sun to shine Well you know, everyday we hear it through the grapevine Thats why Im so tired of hearing it through the grapevine anymore Because you hear it through the grapevine Its just a dirty rotten waste of time, we go Do do loo do do While waiting for the sun to shine We move along Keeping singing our song Straight to your heart like a cannonball La la ti da, la la ti da... Doo do loo do do..... We move along Keep singing our song

Professional jealousy can bring down a nation And personal invasion can ruin a man Not even his family will understand whats happening The price that hes paying or even the pain Professional jealousy started a rumour And then it extended to be more abuse What started out as just black propaganda Was one day seen to be believed as truth They say the truth is stranger than fiction But a lie is more deadly than sin It can make a man very bitter and angry When he thinks that theres someone is going to win Professional jealousy makes others crazy They think youve got something that they dont have What they dont understand is its not that easy To cover the miles and be where you are They say the truth is stranger than fiction But a lie is more deadly than sin It can make men bitter, bitter and angry When they think that someone else is going to win Professional jealousy makes other people crazy When they think youve got something that they dont have What they dont understand is its just not easy To cover it all and stand where you stand Professional jealousy makes no exception It can happen to anyone at any time The only requirement is knowing whats needed And then delivering whats needed on time The only requirement is to know what is needed In doing the best you know how, deliver on time The only requirement is to know what is needed Be best at delivering the product on time
Tried to do the right thing for my baby For my baby tried to do the right thing Tried to do the right thing for my baby Don’t mean maybe, tried to do the right thing I’m facing all this resistance Cause the wisdom of my decision was flawed I was promised it would be just our business But I found out so many people were involved Can’t go forward, can’t go back Weighing up the situation Did you ever feel like you were caught up in Some kind of suspended animation? Now I’m certainly no hero But all the goodwill I gave them Now just means zero Tried to do thе right thing for my baby But it all went wrong And I just got conned Can’t go forward, can’t go back Just weighing up Wеighing up the situation Feel like I’ve been caught up In some kind of suspended animation Now I’m certainly no hero But all the goodwill I gave them Turned into zero Tried to do the right thing for my baby But everything went wrong And I just got conned Tried to do the right thing for my baby Don’t mean maybe, tried to do the right thing Tried to do the right thing for my baby But it all gone wrong And I just got conned Tried to do the right thing for my baby But it all went wrong Do the right thing for my baby And I just got conned I just got conned
Its not easy bein green Having to spend each day the color of the leaves When I think it could be nicer bein red or yellow or gold Or something much more colorful like that Its not easy bein green It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things And people tend to pass you over Cause youre not standing out like flashy sparkles On the water or stars in the sky But green is the color of spring And green can be cool and friendly like And green can be big like an ocean Or important like a mountain or tall like a tree When green is all there is to be It could make you wonder why But why wonder, why wonder? I am green and itll do fine, its beautiful And I think its what I want to be
Let the slave grinding at the mill run out into the field Let him look up into the heavens and laugh in the bright air Let the enchained soul shut up in darkness and in sighing Whose face has never seen a smile in thirty weary years Rose and look out, his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open And let his wife and children return from the oppressors scourge They look behind at every step and believe it is a dream Singing, the sun has left his blackness and has found a fresher morning And the fair moon rejoices in the clear and cloudless night For empire is no more And now the lion and wolf shall cease For everything that lives is holy For everything that lives is holy For everything that lives is holy For everything that lives is holy What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price Of all that a man hath, his house, his wife, his children Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy And in the withered field where the farmer plows for bread in vain It is an easy thing to triumph in the summers sun And in the vintage and to sing on the wagon loaded with corn It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted To speak the laws of prudence to the homeless wanderer To listen to the hungry ravens cry in wintry season When the red blood is filled with wine and with the marrow of lambs It is an easy thing to laugh at wrathful elements To hear the dog howl at the wintry door The ox in the slaughter house moan To see a God on every wind and a blessing on every blast To hear sounds of love in the thunder storm That destroys our enemies house To rejoice in the blight that covers his field And the sickness that cuts off his children While our olive and vine sing and laugh round our door And our children bring fruits and flowers Then the groan and the dolor are quite forgotten And the slave grinding at the mill And the captive in chains and the poor in the prison And the soldier in the field When the shattered bone hath laid him groaning Among the happier dead It is an easy thing to rejoice in the tents of prosperity Thus, could I sing and thus, rejoice but it is not so with me

Well, the road just lets me down Got to get off this merry-go-round Got to move on from this town Jet lags coming down And Ive got bags under my eyes Bags under my eyes When am I gonna get wise? Stop these bags under my eyes Hotels and cities filled with noise And the road is getting so old Back in the seventies, Im told But Im still out here on the go And I got bags under my eyes Bags under my eyes When am I gonna get wise? I got bags under my eyes Meanwhile everybodys doing just fine That I helped way down the line Now that its payback time I just want to get whats mine I just had to realize When I listen to so many lies Well I guess its no surprise Ive got bags under my eyes Makin money is all very well But if you end up like an empty shell Whos gonna comfort you then? When things aint going so well How are you going to win When youre in the shape youre in? Baby, when are you gonna get wise? Stop these bags under your eyes I got bags under my eyes Bags under my eyes When am I gonna get wise? Stop these bags under my eyes When when when am I gonna get wise? Stop these bags under my eyes When when am I gonna get wise? Stop these bags under my eyes When am I gonna get wise? I got bags under my eyes
