Somebody Up There
(Mick Hanly, Doghouse Songs Ltd)
I'm so crazy sometimes I should be locked up
I'm so lazy sometimes it's a sin
There's a part of me want to be strong, but sometimes
There's a part of me wants to cave in
But you wouldn't think that now to see me
Out on this wire on my own
With no net to break any fall I might take
But I don't feel stranded cause I'm not alone
Somebody up there likes me
Touches the fuse that ignites me
Stands in my corner and tells me I'm better
Than I'll ever know
Somebody up there loves me
Hands me a suitcase and shoves me
Into the spotlight so gently it's hard to say no
I'm glad he's running the show
I'm so lonely sometimes I get choked up
I'm so happy sometimes I get bumps
With the highs and the lows that I've clocked up God knows
It's good to be coming up trumps
But you wouldn't think that now to see me
Out on this wire on my own
With no net to break any fall I might take
But I don't feel stranded cause I'm not alone

Free My Soul
(Fil Campbell, Copyright Control, (c)2000)
Driving back at the end of the day
Trying to find the turn
Hoping round the bend a sign will show me
The road that will lead me home
Wishing I was anywhere else but here
Wishing I could fly
Wishing I could break the chains that hold me
That make me hide
Free my soul, let if find its own road
Free my heart let it show me the way
Free my mind let it find its own truth
At the end of the day.
Look at all the people in the river of steel
Caught in someone else's dream
I wish you all the strength to find your feelings
And know what your dreams mean.
Sing your gifts from the rooftops
Hide them, only you will pain
Open your heart and share the madness
See what you gain
How I wish that I could show you
who I am
How I wish that I could show you
The storm beneath the calm
Oh my heart how you could fly
how my sould could soar
When my mind gives up control
And Make me whole
Free my soul....

I Still Think Of You Sometimes
(Fil Campbell (c) 2001, Copyright Control)
I Still think of you sometimes
And I still feel you by my side
I still miss you
I still wish you still were here.
I still think of you sometimes
When bluebells ring and small birds find
Their voices earlier each day
And summer starts in May
I never knew you, not really well
I never knew you, not really well
I still think of you sometimes
And I still wish that you would find
A way to let me know just why you left
I still think of you sometimes
And I still wish that I could find
A way to let you know how much I cared.
I never knew you, not really well
I never knew you, not really well
Mmm....
I Still Think of you sometimes
And I still feel you by my side
I still miss you
I still wish you still were here.

In My Lover's Eyes
(Fil Campbell (c) 2001, Copyright Control)
In my lover's eyes I can see
A heart that's full, full of love for me
But how you show your shame, how you hide your pain
Writes a sonnet for a nameless aim.
In my lover's heart I can feel
A song that's full, full of praise for me
But how you say my name, never twice the same
Speaks a legacy of a love insane
And I know what you fear
I know what you need from me
And I know where we'd be
If our love ran free
In my tired eyes I can know your thinking
You're thinking of the days when we were free
When we were free to be
But in my ancient heart I can feel
Things are different now
Things are different
Can't you see.

EVEN THEN
(Fil Campbell (c) 2000, Copyright Control)
From the very minute
That we met I knew it
Here was something special
Here was something new
From the first hello
I felt a warning whisper
This was what I'd wanted
Here was something true.
Even then I knew that I would always love you
Even when I knew that you had taken part of me
Even then I knew that I would not forget you
Even when I knew that I had lost my heart
Even then.
With the morning's light
I Feel you here beside me
Feel you breathing on my skin
and I dream
That we walked together
in the hours of slumber
Did you feel me with you, calling your name

WALK AWAY
(Fil Campbell (c) 1998, Copyright Control)
It's hard to walk away from you and know
I can't go back tomorrow
It's hard to walk away from you and know
I can't just say sorry
But you're leaving again and I can't take
The heartache that's left in your place
So I'm saying goodbye cos I can't take
the days without you
But I still love you, I still love you.
I've taken all you've had to offer me and hoped
we'd find a way through this
I've taken all you've had to offer me and hoped
We'd find a way to change this
But hopes come to nothing when lives move
In different worlds and it's my truth
That long distance loving is no good
when you really care.
But I still love you, I still love you.
Every time you go you break my heart
Every time you go I fall apart
Every time you go I hate you
But no more, no more...
It's hard to walk away from you
I still love you, I still love you, I still love you....

THE WILDERNESS YEARS
(Celine Carroll / Padraic O'Beirn (c) 2001, Copyright Control)
You left me behind in the wilderness
Living through the wilderness years
My heart it moved out when you moved in
Along with your crocodile tears
You held me like a loser
Treat me mean, keep me keen was your game
But it's only how I chose to live my life
What goes round will come round again
I remember the lips I kissed now I'm older
And your eyes like a jewel shining bright
Have your winters been kind or have they been colder
Do you ever get lonely at night?
And has life been what you wanted
Did your wish come true?
Do you cradle your dreams far and wide?
Is it something you've got used to?
Or does it break your heart?
Are you paying a price deep inside?
Just let it go - away.
So here's to your tomorrows
From someone who lives like you for today
And if we meet by fortune
I'll give you my hand
But I won't have you stand in my way
For I've gotten to like it here in the wilderness
I've finally made it my home
Well it mightn't be much but it gives me pleasure
It's everything, it's all that I own.
And if you ever need to borrow
Just call me up
And I'll lend you some time now and then
Cos it's only what I wanted
To sit you right down
And to talk to you just as a friend
And let it go - away.

ON THE WATER
(Celine Carroll, (c) 1995, Copyright Control)
There's a sailor on the water
And we know just what he's thinking
When his ship comes in, his ship comes in
There's a farmer in a field
And we know just how he feels
When the rains don't come, the rains don't come
Oh how we suffer in silence for so long
How we suffer in silence
But we still go on
There's a window cleaning lady
Who never seems to find it easy
To make ends meet, to make ends meet
There's a fisherman out wading
And we know just why he's praying
Cos the fish won't bite, the fish won't bite

TOUCH OF YOUR HAND
(Eugene Brosnan, Fil Campbell (c) 2001)
The last days of Summer
The world's flowing fine
The spell that it's under
Keeps it all in line
But I can't help but wonder
What's really mine
Cos all that I long for
Is here all the time
I don't need nothing
Not even a plan
And my mind stops running
When I feel the touch of your hand
Sometimes in the evening
When the sun's got to go
It's just me I'm deceiving
By not letting go
Of all that I'm chasing
Driving me round the bend
All the thoughts of the future
And what it might send

HOLD MY HEART
(Fil Campbell (c)2000, Copyright Control)
At times it feels like years since you last held me
At times it feels like years since I heard you call my name
And ever since you've gone there's an emptiness I've never known
I couldn't live without you, so till you get back home, just
Hold my heart, take it with you where you go and
Keep it safe, so every time you need to know
That I love you and I care
And I am always there
Just hold my heart and bring it back to me sometime.
There's times I've needed space and a quiet place to be
There's times I've found it hard to tell you what you mean to me
But you must never worry that I would ever go
I couldn't walk away from you, so till you get back home, just
I know the road feels long that's out in front of you
There's times it feels like home is slipping out of view
But darling keep in mind,
That you are always mine
Just hold my heart and it will take you
Through these times.
Hold my heart, take it with you where you go and
Keep it safe, so every time you need to know
That I love you and I care
And I am always there
Just hold my heart and bring it back to me sometime.
