Dangerous Thing
03:24

You said I should be myself
a dangerous thing to do
Cos I've developed a tendency
to speak the truth
It's no use being a recluse
forgive me if I'm a little uncouth
I'm one hundred percent original
A student of the art of falling apart
I've taken my own wise counsel on this matter and I've decided that it's ok to do it this way.
You said I should trust my intuition
a dangerous thing to do,
Cos my intuition tells me
there is something going on
Bold and strong, like an old song
you can't tell me I'm wrong
You said I should follow my feelings
a dangerous thing to do,
Cos my feelings say
let's get close and play
Don't delay, do it today
feel the fear and go for it anyway
You said I shouldn't listen to advice
the worst thing you could have done
Now you couldn't possibly stop me
going for goal number one
I'm in control of my own soul
no time left for playing a role
I'm one hundred percent original
a master of the art of falling apart
I've taken my own wise counsel on this matter and I've decided that it's ok to do it this way.

Blood Mother - Cailleagh

I wanna crumble into your dust
Drown in your seas
Burn up with your desire
Blow away in your breeze.
The chattering stones and gurgling streams
The warmth of the sun and the caressing breeze
You are my Blood,
Blood Mother.
Red is the colour of the river of life
Black is your body there are stars in your eyes
Deep in your womb my spirit is sleeping
Deep in my heart your spirit is stirring
Put it in the pot fill the thing up
You know there's enough to fill everyone's cup (up)
Blood Mother.

Little boy sitting at the window
Watching the world go by
Somewhere out in Srebrenica
Another boy has to die
Watching the sky as the clouds turn to rain
Wondering if it has to be this way
Again and again
Chorus:
Cailleagh... Mother of all
The night crow comes
To show us our world
Cailleagh... come when we call
The night crow comes
To purify our souls. /us all (on last verse)
Mama crow sitting on the rooftop
Watches the world with one eye
Spreading out her feathered wings
She utters a warning cry
Look deep within to investigate the cause
She will change everything, we can but do
That which is ours.

Caught up in the mud
Just sludging around
I'm achieving terminal velocity
Going to break new ground
There's a drunk boy, coat slung overhead
To keep the raining raining down
The bottle's nearly empty
But there's nearly enough to drown all my sorrows
You'll never drown
I thought I tried and I waited
But I should have known, I should have known
all along
We'll never make any more than this
We could never fake it now
If this is heaven
Right here, right now
We'd better give it all we've got
Cos forever is a long, long time to be waiting
You'll never drown
So just let go

We are the winds that are changing
We are the spark in the dark
On the tides of emotion
Dance your dreaming awake
We are the twinkle in the eye of all creation
The heart of the atom, we're devotion in motion
We are the winds that are changing
We are the spark in the dark
On the tides of emotion
Dance your dreaming awake
Dance the dream awake
dream your dance awake
you beautiful dreamers

Man in the moon, it's not too soon to come down,
Let mama be the bread-winner and I will cook dinner, I'll be your clown.
We're mining for starlight, digging up the moonlight, you too are one.
Swimming in colleges to the ancient philosophies, diving right down to the heart of the sun.
Oh yeah I'm going down, down where the stars grow,
Down where the wind blows,
My garden is overgrown and there are fairies in the greenhouse
And they're mining for starlight.
I sit on your belly O sister fair
I'm watching you brother sky, there are clouds in your hair.
