Time Bomb Blues
You made me a time bomb Mister
Just about to blow my top(x2)
Gonna get me a 45- better call yourself a cop
I’m a time bomb baby
I’m gonna explode(x2)
Keep up that thing and you’ll shoot your load
You are the flame honey
You lit my fuse(x2)
Yeah you’ve given me the time bomb blues
I can’t control myself I’ve got no more to lose(x2)
You’ve gone and given me them time bomb blues
My clock is ticking mister
How you gonna defuse?(X2)
You got your finger on my trigger
I got them time bomb blues

Mr Pac-A-Mac
Mad bad Mr Pac-A-Mac
Lives his life in a plastic sack
Knows he’ll never get his children back
Waits all day for the Mars attack
Mad bad Mr Pac-A-Mac
He asked the Judge to cut some slack
He was only enjoying the craic
He’ll soon be back on track
Mad bad Mr Pac-A-Mac
Maybe the wife deserved a whack
And the kids a decent smack
It’s not control that he might lack
It’s life that he don’t have the knack
Mad bad Mr Pac-A-Mac
(Chorus;)
He’s a jolly fella with his mates
At home he opens up the gates
All the anger then escapes
That’s when those closest get in scrapes

On the Wing
She watches you like a hawk
you’re the next prey
If you listen to her talk
You know she’s a cliche
Are you ready for the mess
that you’re bound to create?
This is no game of chess
she will lure you to your fate
She knows just what she’s doing
her instincts are on fire
even though a storm is brewing
she’s a damn good liar
Don’t shrug and act the fool
dancing madly in the open
life is bloody and cruel
A man completely broken
Chorus 1
Like a red kite on the wing
soaring beautiful in spring
swooping down upon her prey
are you strong enough to stay?
Chorus 2
are you ready for her game
do you really without shame
she’s soaring beautiful in spring
Like a red kite on the wing

White Swans(Harris)
Kissing by the riverside
no one can compare
to the girl in the white dress with the long yellow hair
We lay in a field of flowers
Making love I thought we’d share
Walking on a knife edge
As gently as we dare
When man creates perfection,
He dreams a perfect dream
Like white swans on the water
Swimming ‘gainst the stream
Written on the bathroom wall
In the feminist hotel
Graffiti by spurned lovers
I know she reads it well
She said she had no memory
if she had made true love with me
Memories play tricks
Break your bones like stones and sticks
When man creates perfection,
He dreams a perfect dream
Like white swans on the water
Swimming ‘gainst the stream
White swans on the river
Doing that thing we think is love
But time is a murderer
When push comes to shove
I believed it was something that everyone could do
I believed it was be easy
With a woman made like you
When man creates perfection,
He dreams a perfect dream
Like white swans on the water
Swimming ‘gainst the stream
The things you hold dear slowly fade away
Fragile memories can secretly betray
You can misremember
all the things you think you know
The girl the wine the river
And the white swans long ago
When man creates perfection,
He dreams a perfect dream
Like white swans on the water
Swimming ‘gainst the stream
