Be More Obvious
Paia neb nefer
Ti er hetta
Aha em abtet
Hunnu nefer
(My lord beautiful
Wait until the daybreak
Stand up, in the east
Boy beautiful)
Oh Mother Here We Go
We're skating on such ice (baby please don't go...)
Ah oh Mother here we go
So blue can go so white (baby please don't go...)
Ah oh Mother here we go
But don't we look divine (baby please don't go...)
Ah oh Mother here we go
I Won't Eat My Heart Out For You
Rumours fly much too far much too loudly
Rumours breed in the warm dark places
I don't eat my heart out for just anyone
And I won't eat my heart out for you
Brand new hands, so good to have, so good to hold
So far so good for the brand new hands
I don't eat my heart out for just anyone
And I won't eat my heart out for you
I won't eat my heart out for you, you just go along
(Si ti mi aiuti nel giardino, parliamo de l'amore)
(If you help me in the garden, we can talk about love)
Iarraigai
Iarraigai agus bhearfar daoibh
Lorgaigai agus gheobhaidh sibh
Buailigai agus osclofar daoibh
(From the Irish language version of St Matthew's Gospel 7.7,
Ask and you shall receive,
Seek and you shall find,
Knock and the door shall be opened.
Written to for the Seven Deadly Singers to celebrate the opening of An Sanctoir,
Ballydehob, March 1996)
The Truth About Science
Lux aeterna luceat eis domine
Lux perpetua luceat eis in tenebris
(From a latin prayer:
May the eternal light shine upon them
Lord, may the perpetual light shine upon those in the darkness)
I don't know
You don't know
He don't know
She don't know
We don't know
You don't know
They don't know
Well let's look
By The Glacial Lake
By the glacial lake
Three miles deep
Where the strong pines grow
Over ancient stones
See the visitors move
