DISC 1


1. ODE TO MY FAMILY

Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I've spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
D'you see me? - D'you see?
Do you like me? - Do you like me standing there?
D'you notice - D'you know?
Do you see me? - Do you see me?
Does anyone care?

[Chorus]
Unhappiness - Where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother - My mother - She hold me
She hold me when I was out there
My father - My father - He liked me
Oh he liked me - Does anyone care?

Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you - I miss
'Cause I liked it - 'Cause I liked it
When I was out there
D'you know this? - D'you know?
You did not find me - You did not find
Does anyone care?

[Chorus]

Does anyone care? (x7)


2. SO COLD IN IRELAND

Here is a story of hope and of glory
He's eighteen years old and well I fell in love
But after that - Where have you gone from me?
The one that we love endlessly
We used to have a life
But now it's all gone
Mystify (x8)

[Chorus]
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland?
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland for me?
Are they ready for me? (x3)

Where have you gone from me?
The one that we love endlessly
We were to have a child
Yesterday's gone
Well I knew the time would come
When I'd have to leave - Go on
Look what they've done to me
They've taken my hand - And it's killing me
Killing me (x3)

[Chorus]

But I'm afraid I'm returning to Ireland
I'm afraid I'm returning to Ireland
I see that there is nothing for me
There is nothing for me
There is nothing for me


3. NO NEED TO ARGUE

There's no need to argue anymore
I gave all I could but you left me so sore
And the thing that makes me mad
Is the one thing that I had

[Chorus]
I knew - I knew
I'd lose you
You'll always be special to me
Special to me - To me

And I remember all the things we once shared
Watching T.V. movies on the living room armchair
But they say it'll work out fine
Was it all a waste of time - 'Cause

[Chorus]

Will I forget in time?
You said I was on your mind
There's no need to argue
No need to argue anymore
There's no need to argue anymore


4. DREAMING MY DREAMS

All the things you said to me today
Change my perspective in every way
These things count to mean so much to me
Into my faith - You and your baby

[Pre-Chorus]
It's out there - It's out there
It's out there - If you want me I'll be here
It's out there - It's out there
It's out there - If you want me I'll be here

[Chorus]
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

1. ODE TO MY FAMILY (LIVE VERSION)

(See lyrics on Disc 1 - Track 1)


2. DREAMS (LIVE VERSION)

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

I want more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore

And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do

And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me


3. RIDICULOUS THOUGHTS (LIVE VERSION)

Twister oh - Does anyone see through you?
You're a twister - Oh Na Na Na Na
But you're so happy now
I didn't go along with you
So happy now - Na Na Na Na

[Pre-Chorus]
But you're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on - Hold on - Hold on
Or we're gonna have to move on
We're gonna have to move on
Or we're gonna have to move on - Move on - Move on

[Chorus]
I feel alright and I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts - Oh
I feel alright - Alright - Alright - Alright

Twister oh - I shouldn't have trusted in you
Twister - Oh Na Na Na Na
It's not gonna happen no
You're not gonna make fun of me
Happen no - Na Na Na Na

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Ah - I should have lied
But I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts - Oh
I should have lied - Have lied - Have lied - Have lied
But you're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on (x7)
Well - You're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on
Hold on - Hold on - Hold on - Hold on - Hold on - Hold
Well - You're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on
To me


4. ZOMBIE (LIVE VERSION)

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence cause of silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see - It's not me - It's not my family
In your head - In your head - They are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head - In your head - They are crying

[Chorus]
In your head - In your head
Zombie - Zombie - Zombie
What's in your head? - In your head
Zombie - Zombie - Zombie

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head - In your head - They're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head - In your head - They are dying

[Chorus]
