The Haar at the Edge of the World
The edge of the world
At the foot of the sea
So romanticised
By the dissatisfied
Where the buildings are grey
Where your time wastes away
Where the people complain
About social decay
Parochial longing
For community days
Blighted and blackened
By the immigrant ways
Didn’t you say that this place could get under your skin?
Oh
We say so many things,
although
some of it, some of it’s true
The edge of the world
Where beauty’s obscured
Where the haar clouds your view
Where there’s nothing to do
In October the clocks go back
And down comes this blanket of black
Till you pine for the sun
Like father like son
Didn’t you say that this place could get under your skin?
Oh
We say so many things,
although
some of it, some of it’s true
Didn’t you say that this place could get under your skin?
Oh
We say so many things,
although
some of it, some of it’s true
And the rain falls in sheets
Makes rivers of streets
Your views are obscured…

Titanic
Desperate not to be known
For thirty years of guns and bombs and stones
We shift our focus in its wake
To something we can celebrate
Our former economic rock
The industry at Belfast’s docks
A fame you can take to the bank
We glorify a ship that sank
Another angle to employ
Regeneration, pride and joy
Renown you can take to the bank
We glorify a ship that sank

Gaslight
Hark! Do you hear how those violins play?
Your trials and misery all on display
The choice of a smile
Seems to come at a cost
So talk to Saint Anthony
Are you not lost?
Eyes to the camera
You carry the cross
With everyone looking at you
Such tiny violins
Darling, for shame
Act like you do
And then pass me the blame
Capricious and callous
You waster of words
Deliver me drivel
Dissembled demure
You swoop and you strike
Like a predatory bird
Now everyone’s looking at you
Gaslight, gaslight, gaslight

Numbers
Woke up half tore
And half restored
The hard-earned blow out
From the night before
Not quite awake
But through the haze
I know I shouldn’t
But I’m counting off the days

Death Squeeze
Who scattered the pages?
Your filing awry
You’ve been searching for ages
You’re tongue-tied
All your roads seem to bend
Where once they were straight
We all know where it ends
Such a lot on your plate
Death squeeze when you fall asleep
Small talk as you’re on your knees
To kill time like a new disease
To kill time till it brings you peace
Now again you are sleeping
It’s all that you do
Tell you everything’s ok
Though I know it’s not true
Shallow rise of your breast place
Says it’s late in the day
And may your God forgive me
I’m tired of the wait
Death squeeze when you fall asleep
Small talk as you’re on your knees
To kill time like a new disease
To kill time till it brings you peace

Vessels
Hold on
To your drive
Your time will arrive
Your time will arrive
This could be
Could be your rebirth
Don’t you know your worth?
Don’t you know your worth?
All the silver
All the gold
Wouldn’t see you sold
Couldn’t see you sold
Hold on
Don’t you know your place
For
You’re the only you we’ve got
And you cannot be replaced

Faultlines
Well your fault lines
Meant the plates were always gonna shift
And your thought lines
Leave me searching through the wreck of this
Oh, the collapsing of empires
Oh, the collapsing of empires
What price, trouble
For a little shine from the rubble
My little ruin
My little ruin
