Belfast Child
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For its sad news I bring
About this old town and all that its offering
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon theyre gonna pull the old town down
One day well return here,
When the belfast child sings again
Brothers sisters where are you now
As I look for you right through the crowd
All my life here Ive spent
With my faith in God the church and the government
But theres sadness abound
Some day soon theyre gonna pull the old town down
One day well return here,
When the belfast child sings again
When the belfast child sings again
Some come back billy, wont you come on home
Come back mary, youve been away so long
The streets are empty, and your mothers gone
The girls are crying, its been oh so long
And your fathers calling, come on home
Wont you come on home, wont you come on home
Ome back people, youve been gone a while
And the war is raging, in the emerald isle
Thats flesh and blood man, thats flesh and blood
All the girls are crying but alls not lost
The streets are empty, the streets are cold
Wont you come on home, wont you come on home
The streets are empty
Life goes on
One day well return here
When the belfast child sings again
When the belfast child sings again

You're Leaving Too Soon
You're leaving too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
Close the door
You're leaving too soon
You'll never learn to fly unless you learn to fall
You'll never know the answers 'till you've heard the call
You can't turn your back until you face it all
Take my word
You're leaving too soon
You're leaving too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
Close the door
You're leaving to soon
Babe you shouldn't go until you know just what I mean
Now, "happy ever after", I have never seen
But still we might come closer than we've ever been
Come over here
You're leavin' too soon
You're leavin' too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
Close the door
You're leaving too soon
You're leaving too soon

4% Pantomime
The management said they were sorry
For the inconvenience you are suffering
And mr. booking agent, please have mercy
Dont book the jobs so far apart
We went up to griffith park
With a fifth of johnny walker red
And smashed it on a rock and wept
While the old couple looked on into the dark
Oh, richard, tell me if its poker
Oh, richard, tell me, whos got the joker and is it poker
Deuces wild, like an only child
Ill see what you got. how much is in the pot
You pay the tips and Ill collect the chips
Its a full house tonight -- everybody in town is a loser
Yeah, you bet
The dealers been dealing me bad hands
From the bottom of the deck without the slightest blush
And I dont know whether to call or check
But right now I feel like I got a royal flush
And my lady didnt show from frisco
But we had to go on with the show
Everybody got stoned -- it was a gas, it was a smash
Everybody got wrecked, checked. oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, belfast cowboy, lay your cards on the grade
Oh, belfast cowboy, can you call a spade a spade
Oh, richard, tell me, is the game poker
I cant understand who the fool is that holds this joker
Is it poker
Oh, belfast cowboy, lay your cards down on the table
Oh, belfast cowboy, do you think youre able

Its Worth Believin
Theres a warm wind tonight
And the moon turns the tide
When the stars take their ride
Shell be leavin
Where she goes, I dont know
She wont tell me what it is
That makes her act like this
But Ive got a funny feelin that its me
Its worth believin
Should I ask
Do you like to go walking on the shore
And listen to the sea
Or could it be someone kind
Could it be that Im the fool
Theres somethin wrong with you
And Ive got a funny feelin that its me
Its worth believin
Theres a breeze from the shore
And the waves overlap
When Ive called in the cat
Shell go walkin
And she cries to herself
In the night when Im asleep
She lies awake and weeps
Could it be someone new
Some old who has returned
Or is it just a game
But Ive got a funny feelin that its me
Its worth believin
Theres a warm wind tonight
And the moon turns the tide
When the stars take their ride
Shell be leavin
Where she goes, I dont know
She wont tell me what it is
That makes her act like this
But Ive got a funny feelin that its me
Its worth believin

It Sure Was (Love)
I listened to a friend who'd do the same for me last night
'Cause it takes one to really understand
And I watched him try to walk the line
Between what's wrong and right
And knew that fool was gonna fall again
Chorus:
Ah, but the fool I've been ain't nothing like the fool I'd be
To keep believin' dreams that don't come true
Because, you know, it never was too far from love to make believe
And I'll be leavin', if it's all the same to you
It's hard to lead a friend in need of somethin' hard to face
'Cause simple truth ain't simple when it's sad
And misery loves company, but, Lord, it's such a waste
To go on throwin' good love after bad
Chorus:
Ah, but the fools we've been ain't nothin' like the fools we'd be
To keep believin' dreams that don't come true
Because, you know, it never was to far from love to make believe
And I'll be leavin', if it's all the same to you

Yes, I'll be leavin', 'cause it's all the same to you

And the children died
And the children died.
Our children kept dying.
Then our childrens child
picked up the struggle,
and they died.
Whether in Belfast, palestine, chile,
or Iraq. They, our children died.
When moneyed powered barons
enjoin to force their farce of alien
thoughts upon a righteous people
our children die.
They, our children continued to fight
and to die.Their bodies piled up.
Sorrow became our life, the blood from
their wounds glistens always in our eyes,
and they our children fight.
Whilst we listen to politicans imploring
us to accept their just peace.
And the children died...

Have A Happy
(words & music by weisman - kaye - fuller)
Now once it was told to me
Were born with a magic key
It opens the door to miracles of spring
It takes you to wishing wells
To ice cream and carousels
And yet this magic key wont unlock a thing
Unless you have a happy, ya have a happy
Have a happy, warm smiling face
I start believin, in believin
Let your address, be sunshine place
Theres love and theres joy Im told
Much more than your heart can hold
Its there like the ring you would grab
On a merry-go-round
The world isnt half as gray
With friends on a rainy day
But people keep away, when you wear a frown
Unless you have a happy, ya have a happy
Have a happy, warm smiling face
I start believin, in believin
Let your address, be sunshine place
Let your address, be sunshine place
Let your address... be sunshine place

Dont Stop Believin
(john farrar)
You think the world should see things your way
Love, I know you, you think good fortunes here to stay
Love, I know you shined in everything you tried before
Your smile can open any door
But on those days when nobody wants to know you
And all your smiles keep falling on stoney ground
Dont stop believin, dont stop believin
Dont stop believin, youll get by
Bad days, bad days will hurry by
You never chase your dreams, they find you
Love, I know you, if you need love, it finds you too
Love, although you sail alone and free
Ill follow in your wake
And pray one day my heart youll take
But on those days when nobody wants to know you
And all your smiles keep falling on stoney ground
Dont stop believin, dont stop believin
Dont stop believin, youll get by
Bad days, bad days will hurry by

MacCracken
GETTING his pictures, like his supper, cheap,
Far, far away in Belfast by the sea,
His watchful one—eyed uninvaded sleep
MacCracken sleepeth. While the P.R.B.
Must keep the shady side, he walks a swell
Through spungings of perennial growth and height:
And far away in Belfast out of sight,
By many an open do and secret sell,
Fresh daubers he makes shift to scarify,
And fleece with pliant shears the slumbering “green.”
There he has lied, though aged, and will lie,
Fattening on ill—got pictures in his sleep,
Till some Præraphael prove for him too deep.
Then, once by Hunt and Ruskin to be seen,
Insolvent he will turn, and in the Queen's Bench die.

I Just Cant Help Believin
(words & music by b.j. thomas)
I just cant help believin
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty morning
And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes
I just cant help believin
When shes lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day
Oh, I just cant help believin
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
As my fingers fold around it like a glove
I just cant help believin
When shes whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day
For more than just a day

All The Love In The World
In your eyes I see only one
Find me the to place to run
Thats where I belong
There we rise ,your glory and mine
Your pain is over now
I make you shine , still believin
All the love in the world wont take me away from you
My love is stronger , I am what you make me
All the love in the world wont take you away from me
In all my wonder I forever lay down here with you
I find when love slips away
Reach out for all you can
Before its too late
There you fly , returning to me
Out of your darkest nights I stand alone
Still believin
All the love in the world wont take me away from you
My love is stronger I forever lay down here with you
(break)
My love is true
All your darkest nights ,i stand alone
Still believin
All the love in the world wont take me away from you
My love is stronger , I forever lay down here with you

Jackie Dont Go
Jackie was the focus of my fantasies
There was passion in the schoolyard
Upon the autumn leaves
Cuttin class was gettin easy,
Throwin good sense down the drain,
And while your touch would always please me,
It was love that erased the pain --
Believin that good times forever last,
Now love is a thing of the past
*jackie no, jackie dont go,
Youre a hard act to follow --
Jackie go slow, jackie please,
Im down on my knees, lets do it again*
I was head over heels, I was hard in love,
I put jackie on a pedestal so high above,
Rock n roll became our savior --
That alone was all it took --
And when it came to fool behavior,
Me and jackie, we wrote the book
Believin that good friends forever last,
Now love is a thing of the past
( * repeat)
( * repeat)
Jackie stay -- Im living each day
In the streets of the city callin your name
Jackie please, this is insane,
Lets do it again
In the beginning all the time we spent together,
Never further than a heartbeat away,
Did you try and tell me, jackie, you were leavin,
I couldnt see beyond yesterday

Alwasy Leaving, Always Gone
Dusty dreams of yesterday, of women in the snow
Always leavin' and always gone
Reachin' for the sparkle in the yello' afternoon
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
The image of the girl appears there, clearly upon my mind
Always leavin' and always gone
Lost among the promises of the days I'll never fi-ind
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
I could hide the pain inside me but what would I win
I would lose the right to live and turn the pain to si-i-i-in
So I'll find another way, some other words to sing
And whether you're stayin' or leavin' baby, I lose everythi-ing
Here I am, another day, just a wonderin' where I'm at
Always leavin' and always gone
You fall on my memory but I try to get you there
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
Always leavin', always go-one
Always leavin', always go-one
Always leavin', always go-one

Love & Emotion
Theres nowhere to run from the heat of the sun
Theres nowhere to hide from your face
Black is the night, wont you show me the light
The road only leads to one place
For your love and emotion
I promise you love till I die
Faith as deep as the ocean
Keeps me believin youre alive
Theres nowhere to run from the things that weve done
Theres nowhere to hide from the truth
Something is wrong when my woman is gone
My world aint no good without you
For your love and affection
I give you my soul for all time
Faith as high as a mountain
Keeps me believin youre mine
Oh,oh
Oh,oh
For your love and emotion
I promise you love till I die
Faith as deep as the ocean
Keeps me believin youre alive
Oh,oh
Oh,oh
Oh (for your love and emotion), oh
Oh (for your love and emotion), oh

People
We travel single-o
Maybe were lucky but, I dont know
With them just let one kid fall down
And seven mothers faint
I guess were both happy
But maybe, we aint
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
Were children needing other children
And yet letting our grown up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers are very special people
Theyre the luckiest people in the world
With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now youre whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

Sex (Life Poem)
Five, sex, seven
If and only if,
You are from Belfast.
If this is true
Why did they not focus on the sex?
“Make Love not War” etc.
Who really cares about religion?
Especially today.
