All The Way Home

All the way home – By Martin Fagan
You were always there, by my side
No words to say – no need
I am there at the floodgate
Hold back the tide
But don’t want to meet you there
If you tell me you’re ok I can turn and go
Things left unsaid, but we know what it all means
All the way home
All the way home
I’m with you every step of the way
Such a sad celebration, but we have gone as far as we can
We’ve done our best - it’s time to fly
Were at a junction – not a full stop
It’s time to take it and fly ....
All the way home
All the way home, I will see you fly all the way home.
Break:
Find a way and take it
Sure step your way and make it
All the way home .....
I will see you fly ... All the way home
All the way home

A dream beyond the ghetto – M - Fagan
No flag around my body swathed
My overcoat the old sky blue
No longer in the bunker bathed
History’s season comes anew
No soothing sea, how lonely I feel
As seagulls screech under city suns
Chorus
A dream beyond the ghetto, the reality bites for all to see
A dream beyond the ghetto, always just out of reach
Out of reach … a dream …………
I think, love, feel, and cry
Please don’t doubt my thirst
Inhaling brutality’s high, inhaling brutality’s high
One god I am told, one spirit,
God’s children smile with guns
Chorus
A dream beyond the ghetto, the reality bites for all to see
A dream beyond the ghetto, always just out of reach
Out of reach … a dream …………………..

River Of Anger

River of Anger – Martin Fagan
Our tears have flowed for so long
In a river of anger they now belong
Dry eyed and ready, I have been thinking ,
Feeling and wondering why ......
I feel this way .......
Chorus
There is a river of anger come pouring over you
A refuge of despair coming into view
A simple lie beats a complex truth
Only one winner and it is not you
Shadowed sunbeams they circle my soul
I can’t explain how I feel
But your blood is my blood,
your pain is my pain
Chorus
There is a river of anger come pouring over you
A refuge of despair coming into view
The river of anger flows into a sea of hate
Open your heart before it is too late

Thanks For Listening

Thanks for listening
Hit a brick wall and I’m sliding back
I can’t operate in the machine
Shoulders to the grind they are worn away
Life can be a strange affair
Thanks for listening it means a lot
Everything is still and grey
Thanks for listening you helped me see
Things that seemed far now up close
Demons on every corner I can’t keep at bay
No easy answers – but thanks for listening
Makes it seem worthwhile
Thanks for listening it means a lot
Everything is still and grey
Thanks for listening you helped me see
I can make believe and escape for a time
Capture the moment and then I’m on my way
I need to be in possession of myself …..
Thanks for Listening ........

Beautiful Heart
Beautiful Heart, glow in the sun
See the best in everything
Around you
Fragile as glass you can see through
I don’t have to ask you just know
Oh how I love to be with you – Repeat
Beautiful heart
Eclipse the sun
Fill the room
How I love your beautiful heart
Oh Beautiful Heart
Fragile as glass you can see through
I don’t have to ask you just know
Fragile as glass ....
Oh how I love to be with you – Repeat

The last time I saw you – Martin Fagan
I remember well the first time I saw you
Sunny days, absolute freedom.
Don’t go, but I won’t stand, can’t stand in your way
The wheels are turning, and you’re deserving, Just go
CHORUS
You were always too amazing for this place…..
The last time I saw you,
I bit my tongue, you did the same
Sometimes it has to be this way
I can’t hang around to say goodbye
So long, too long, goodnight, goodbye
I aint gonna twist the knife
You’ve got a life, I’ve got a life
I have to let you go
CHORUS
You were always too amazing for this place
The last time I saw you,
I bit my tongue, you did the same
Sometimes it has to be this way
I can’t hang around to say goodbye

Put The Guns Away

Put the guns away – By Martin Fagan
Are you crazy, are you mad
A picture house, a church, a school,
Nowhere is safe
Not even the wildest west was this cruel
Nowhere is safe ....
Chorus
Oh put the guns away
Its insanity – No more guns
Oh put the guns away
Its insanity – No more guns
Not even the wildest west was this cruel
Land of the free, free to die, more like
If this is freedom we need some restraint
Don’t put the weapons in the hater’s hands
You must see it is time for change
Chorus
Oh put the guns away
Its insanity – No more guns
Oh put the guns away
Its insanity – No more guns
It’s time to give optimism a chance
Mutual respect and trust is the key
Oh please put the guns away

2100 - by Martin Fagan
2100 I hope you’ve had a good life
The end of another century
I hope that we have conquered space
And the world is still turning
Down our lovely dead end street
What will we have in 2100
What will be left of this fragile earth
Individuality, choice, don’t matter
If the earth is dying as a matter of fact
Will the leaves hang from the trees
Children play in the street
It feels like it should last forever
But we are the problem….
What will we have in 2100
What will be left of this fragile earth
Individuality, choice, don’t matter
If the earth is dying as a matter of fact
You know we should go on and on and on …..
5 degrees warmer and the water is rising
It makes me angry, it makes me sad,
But I will always have you ….
What will we have in 2100
What will be left of this fragile earth
Individuality, choice, don’t matter
If the earth is dying as a matter of fact
I feel the breeze on the trees
And see the waves on the shore
2100 it is going to be ok
We will strike gold and find a way
We will strike gold and find a way
What will we have in 2100 etc …. END

Betamax v VHS

Betamax versus VHS
An epic battle of the 80’s
In the video age
Madonna and Duran
New possibilities with the Walkman
Where is the collective ideal?
Capitalise, marginalise
That’s the free market it comes at a price
Consumerism, I need it, I need it
I got to have it ……..
Power has passed over
Betamax v VHS - survival of the fittest-
The best doesn’t always win through
Remember when we thought of more than ourselves
The individual is king
Now individual is king

Steps To Nowhere

Steps to nowhere – By Martin Fagan
Where have all the people gone
Why am I chasing shadows
You left for a better future
never to return, never to return
You have left me chasing shadows
Revisiting the places we used to go
The heart has gone from this place
All that’s left are steps to nowhere
Chorus
It is never too late I hear you say
Never too late for a second chance
But I can’t take the first step
And now you are gone …. Gone….
Verse
I feel like I’m climbing steps to nowhere,
To nowhere at all
Wandering around on auto pilot
Shadows, ghosts around every corner
I need a kick start to check I’m here at all
It is never too late I hear you say
Never too late for a second chance
But I can’t take the first step
And now you are gone …. Gone….
You don’t have to fall a long way before you hit the ground
I guess you either bounce back or trail away, trail away
It is never too late I hear you say
Never too late for a second chance
But I can’t take the first step
And now you are gone …. Gone….
END
