I was born in the heart of Dublin
To a Holy book full of rules
Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools

We were warped by the Christian Brothers
In the cell blocks at our schools
Get a hand print on your skin
From a glove of jewels

Go hit me now
That I'm twice your size
Brushed off the accusations
And bowed before your lies

This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
And it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
So just break with your past
Feed your own mind
This Irish son has moved with the times

Weddings deaths or baptizing children
That's my debt paid to the church
I don't need that kind of salvation
When I get hurt

Don't fill my head with sermons
And force me to believe

This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
But it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
So just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times

Our father who art in heaven
Come down here and make your presence known
We can't do it on our own
The lunatics let run the asylum
How can we find peace inside your home
When you can't trust your own

This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
But it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
So just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times

Showbiz dinners and the free champagne,
Men in suits who think they know it all
No one knows me but they know my name, That's not real to me

Hotel lobby to the airplane, Another country but they start to look the same
Watch the world behind a window pane, That's not real to me

When I see my babies run, When all the madness has been and gone
I raise my family and live in peace, Now thats what's real to me
Real to me.

Dying flowers in a dressing room,
A dangerous time to let your head make up its own mind
Got me thinking that the spirits flown,
That's not real to me

When I see my babies run, When all the madness has been and gone
I raise my family and live in peace, Now that's what's real to me

Picnics in the garden and the children they can play,
The first day of the summer and I'll laze here all the day
We'll invite the family round and drink some English tea,
Then I raise up my finger and watch football on t.v

When I see my babies run, When all the madness has been and gone
I raise my family and live in peace, Now that's what's real to me
That's what's real to me
Wake up you might be dreaming, Wake up you might be dreaming now

Have you ever been lost in a different world
Where everything you once knew
Is gone
And you find yourself powerless
With everything that exists
You're numb

Will I ever break free

I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams

If you become a nobody
Blind, to your family
Who would you be?
And life has gone into reverse
Re-living every hurt
Along the way

Everything that you fear is calling you and drawing near

I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams

Wake me up and let's go, yeah
I'm about to explode
Yeah

I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams

When we fall out I like to go driving in my car
Listen to something ironic and end up in a bar
Get an ear full of shit from a stranger who's got a broken heart
Weighing up what would be more painful
Staying with yer man or going back to her

Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes?
It's a lose, lose situation for a shitty little crime
You can never win with women
Its pointless trying to try
It's a lose, lose situation until the day you die

Everybody knows the score
She'll be crying to the mother in law
Then I'll be sleeping out with the dog
Must give Inter Flora a call

Then we make up I'll be walking on egg shells for a day
I'll clean the house in the hope that I might get a lay
I think back to that drunken stranger, something that he said
"You made your bed so lie in it she'll be quiet when your dead"

Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes?
It's a lose, lose situation for a shitty little crime
You can never win with women
Its pointless trying to try
It's a lose, lose situation until the day you die

It seems like only yesterday
I held you in my arms and said
You will never need to fear the dark
But unforeseen misery has come
Between your Mommy and me
And we can love you more, now we are apart

Daddy, he's got to go away
Coz there's just no other way
To live this through
Someday, you'll learn to understand
This wasn't what I planned, for me and you
Sorry, love Daddy

Everyday is filled with pain
But never feel that you're to blame
Sometimes life breaks, in mysterious ways
I can't make it up to you
Believe me I am trying to
No matter what you'll always be my babies

I found myself magnetized
My senses they were hypnotized
Everything was drawing to you
I lost all sense of time
The everyday was pushed aside
Even though I've so much to lose

Do have tried
To open up my eyes
You don't mean a word you say

Can't pull myself away

Now I'm on a danger list
A thief of love that's ever-ish
How can I have such a selfish heart?
Like the river needs the rain
I've come to drink your words again
Back I come to blow my world apart

You can try
To fix it with delight
You don't mean a word you say

Can't pull myself away

Oh what a beautiful way to go
What a beautiful way to go
Oh what a beautiful way.. to go

Something I will never do
Is be a cause of pain for you
Why should (I) just forget it all today

Drawing to you, I can't seem to
Pull myself away
I hear you calling, as I'm falling
Can't pull myself away

Can't pull myself away

I was talking last night
To a friend who was thinking he might
Risk it all for a moment of lust and adventure
And so I told him

You can live everyday like your last
Pay the price and the moment will pass
And its too late and there's no second chance
And then its over and you've got nothing

I've been there the grass was just fine on this side
Because I've been there there's no getting back on that ride

There's no replacing the love you've got
Don't have to loose to see what you've lost
Just be true to your woman

No good living a lie
When it's over the secret won't die
She'll move onto another guy
She won't love you like your wife

I've been there
I don't recommend the pain
I've been there trust me as your friend
There's nothing to gain

There's no replacing the love you've got
Don't have to loose to see what you've lost
Just be true to your woman

Many years working hard, everyone gets tempted by
Something they never knew, never had
The fantasy overtakes, over rides everything
And you're getting lost in a hollow world

All those years they are worth a lot
You only realize when they've gone
Just be true

There's no replacing the love you've got
Don't have to loose to see what you've lost
Just be true to your woman
