Frozen heart, broken smile Those days that don’t seem worthwhile Don’t say that you’re giving up Sometimes it's gonna be tough Follow your heart be true to your mind Leave all your troubles behind Have a look deep down inside See what you can find Out of thought, out of time Right down to your last dime Don’t say that your gonna quit You can get there bit by bit Follow your heart be true to your mind Leave all your troubles behind Have a look deep down inside See what you can find No-one can set you free that’s for you to do ya see All the stars align it's for you they shine It’s for you they shine Follow your heart be true to your mind Leave all your troubles behind Have a look deep down inside Have a look and see what you find What you find See what you can find

It's not been alone that I fear It’s missing you my sweet dear Time has knocked us again It’ll never keep us apart So now I'm trading in these shoes For a brand new attitude I hope they’ve got my size And they fit just right Don’t waste your time on the past Yes it makes you but it won't last It’s all happening now It’s good when we disagree It gives a sense to be free The differences in our views Makes us stick like glue May good luck darken your door That along with so much more All the answers are deep inside We just got to go and find Don’t look for solution in times to come Forthcoming expectations will often let you down It’s all happening now It’s all happening now It’s all happening now It’s all happening now

What's wrong mister you seem a bit uptight not always can things go just right A bad start can be hard to shake sometimes even hard to take It's not like you didn’t try your best it's not like you wouldn’t pass no test When the hammer falls and the day is done you can go home knowing the sun has shown It's not bad for a country job Serve your time serve that apprentice the tricks of the trade are in the experience Listen up close put, down that pen perhaps someday you’ll be training some men The weekly wage just isn't enough the bills at home are pretty tough Up and up, you raise them up I'm not sure that they’ll ever drop It's not bad for a country job It's not bad for a country job It's not bad………………….. People in this country vote but don't get no say This country's direction its living days So minister for finance how do you sleep next to all that power and greed? Giving to the rich what you're taking from the poor all that money your keeping for sure And minister are you getting your five a day? Your blood's flowing but you're turned the other way Election year you conquered the race but your mam never thought you no family grace

That cats off again out into the night One thing is for sure he got trouble on his mind And you can bet your last dollar he’ll return before light Never leaves nothing no, not a trace behind It’s high up it's low down Got to have those feet fixed on the ground Head to the east head far out west Don’t really matter as long as you try your best No rest for the wicked with its price to pay What was your mother feeding you those first few days? Stand up and be counted or move along your way There's no one to blame now and you got nothing to say It’s high up it's low down Got to have those feet fixed on the ground Head to the east head far out west Don’t really matter as long as you try your best Now the cats got your tongue Your pride went astray Your money's no good here I hear Darwin is a great hideaway!?

Don was a tailor man who never stopped till he met his plan Now he spends his days alone with Gloria Never had he kissed anyone but she, she had it all in one She keeps him on his toes with every note Good fortune came his way though not knowing it then the price he paid Paved the way for things to come That’s the way the wind blows It never stops don’t you know Ritchie he couldn’t settle down better known as townland clown He’d spread his wings like a big old eagle The type that would just swope in the type that always had to win A chance missed was like losing a war The day she said she was three months gone he said I'm sorry love I'm moving along It's one of those things he’s always regret That’s the way the wind blows It never stops don’t you know That old junkie, he robbed him He robbed him and left him alone Alone on his own far from home Looking for the nearest way out That’s the way the wind blows It never stops don’t you know
