Blood Wedding
You kept your word
You remembered
You held your tongue
Till December
But I saw it comin’
You took her for granted
You said she was just some woman
You met in a club
Instead it was love
That tore us apart
It wasn’t just in my head
It was in your heart
And now you’re sleepin’
With one eye open
A feather in my cap
A goodbye token
You kept your word
You remembered
You held your tongue
Till December
But she drew first blood
When she drew my name
And the devil’s in the detail
And there’s no deed to mark the day
How is it how it is?
With your open heart
in the graveyard of romance
We’ll never get another chance to part
Sleepin’
With one eye open
A feather in my cap
A goodbye token
Blood Wedding x 8

Splinter
went to the river
in another part of town
want you to give her
exactly what you found
and when it’s over
you will be alright
never again alone again
in the middle of the night
Oh Girl
Send him a letter
tell him what you found
and the end of the river
buried in the ground
and just like the splinter
in the lion’s skin
you’ll be never again a slave again
restoring everything
Oh Girl
Use a voice of silver
in the letter that you write
she’s not the killer
make him see the light
happy ever after
let us never speak again
of the day we found a soul of sin
in a child of only ten.

Last Days Of Harry Carey
Take my gun
You’re my favourite son
And you ride that horse
like you stole it
We all got it coming, kid
Pearls for the swine
Yea we all got our time
Can’t worry a dying man’s mind
Dishing out the devil’s wages
with a peacemaker and a pocket comb
Ah no more of this
Nail me in and take me home
Take my gun
You’re my favourite son
And you ride that horse
like you stole it
Face in the forest
I never stood a chance
I’m just some rum soaked gunman
Who never took a stand
Dishing out the Devil’s wages
i stole my life from an oracle bone
No more of this
Nail me in and bring me home

Ballade to St. Dymphna
Night clouds spat out my mind
woke and sorrow-eyes Jane was there
with our hooves all bloody and chipped
we speak in accents of despair
and pick the carcass of the earth
don’t worry we won't be curbed
cause we will live and you will learn
when the stones have been disturbed
At night we will all look the same
just like the artists and the seers
but we’re the devils window pane
through us he sees the world and sneers

The Guess
Find a way
that’s what we have to do
Find a way
sure her heart is weak, she can't speak
but we'll go through the forest
we will cross the river
we will bring the forest down
White woman in the woods of soot, whittling a wedding dress
said dark is the council of man, for man is master of the guess
she skipped bail and two army ships set sail, let the waves take her west.
and somewhere sitting on a suitcase a man begins to weep and beat his chest
and beat his chest
and beat his chest
and beat his chest
and beat his chest
Find a way
bring her back to him
Find a way
sure the tale is grim chances slimming
but we'll go through the forest
we will cross the river
we will bring the forest down
Awe, awe, awe,
Awe, awe, awe,
Awe, awe, awe,
Awe, awe, awe,
Awe, awe, awe,
and beat his chest
and beat his chest
and beat his chest
and beat his chest

Drowning
You fight against yourself
You rock the boat
Pretty soon you’re drowning
Pretty soon
You’re underneath the waves
Being pulled down by the waves
And Drowning
Like a switchblade to my heart
There she was
She was every song I heard
She held a match to every word
I was a saint among the herd
But now I’m drowning
We were together for so long
So, so long
I’m glad that you took me in hand
Of how you cured my sickly plans
Cause I was trapped inside the act
Drowning men are never found

Peggy Sue
My name is Peggy Sue
And I never knew no rules
Still I wonder
Could I ever get back home
to the village where it all started
in 1942

Oil On Canvas
I can’t keep up with you
You’re talking like a toy and you think that’s cool
The perfume in your sleeve
will never understand why you had to leave
don’t think he stands to loose
the devil at the lever in the engine room
and when you fall apart
fall apart with me
The things that they construe
they take a dirty lie and they make it true
don’t think you stand to gain
but you gotta draw the stork in the wind and rain
your eyes of ‘85 never saw the likes never saw the lies
and when you fall apart
fall apart with me

Aubade
I gotta go
I’d rather hide my rain
Than have you catch cold
Goodbye is what you said
Bit it don’t feel so good
This party’s over, this love has fled
Take me out dancing
Play my song till I can’t sing no more
Can’t sing no more
Goodbye is what you said
But it don’t feel so good
This party’s over you love has fled

Kevin Nolan
Dublin based Singer/composer/producer/performer/author.
"These are wonder-tales, this album
sort of fills the mold of an extreme sensibility, it’s in a way a bad reaction to something I ate, I mean emotionally. It’s a refusal to accept the place in which I found myself, a kind of revolt. This music is for those who want to reach outside somehow” – Kevin Nolan
