Some other spring I'll try to love Now I still cling To faded blossoms Fresh wind worn Left chrushed and torn Like the love affair I mourn Some other spring When twilight falls Will the night bring Another to me? Not your kind But let me find It's not true that love is blind Sunshine's around me But deep in my heart it's cold as ice Love, once you've found me But can that story unfold twice? Some other spring Will my heart awake? Stirring to sing Love's magic music Then forget the old duet And love in some other spring

Cleopatra's favorite cat Got his hands on Caesar's spats The heat was on as you could see So he front 'em to Mark Antony. Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me." Caesar had an eye for clothes He saw them spats and said, "I like those." Caesar had no thing to say, except, "Jesu Christi Domine, Et tu, Brute, Jesu Christi Domine, Et tu, Brute." The senate tried to sympathize It was the cat they should despise Informant told his whereabouts Centurions to seek him out Centurions! There go the centurions. Brutus had to turn his head When THIS cat done went and said, "If he's got this thing for shoes, He just might be ambitious, too. They got holidays all in his name, And all a tyrant needs is fame. Those fascists don't play pretty games Egypt is the place to be... But Rome is a democracy. Rome!" Caesar never got them back 'Cause they killed his ass in the second act. Brutus spoke, then Antony: Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me. Friends, Romans, can't you see My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me Egypt's biggest rivalry: Cleopatra's cat and me."

Your heart is a refrigerator car It's cold and it never waits Frozen breath and frostbite Stacked, unopen crates You never loved your frozen freight Perishables and bloodless meat You rolling snowball soul of sleet You never wait You roll across the desert And clack across the sand Though snakes may fry outside Flowers crumble petrified in your hand Your heart's a paid off porter You lied to spare your soul With one are you blow your brains out And with the other you dig the hole You never loved your frozen freight Perishables and bloodless meat You rolling snowball soul of sleet You never wait Grey ice in your hinges Sliding doors shut frozen locked Airtight every tiny hole With hard white putty blocked You never loved your frozen freight Perishables and bloodless meat You rolling snowball soul of sleet You never wait, yeah

Well I didn't see much future When I left the Christian brothers school So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile And I left the girls of Tuam And sometimes when I'm reminiscing I see the prefabs and my old friends And I know that they'll be changed or gone By the time I get home again Chorus: And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams Well the ould fella left me to Shannon Was the last time I travelled that road And as I turned left at Claregalway I could feel a lump in my throat As I pictured the thousands of times That I travelled that well worn track And I know that things would be different If I ever decide to go back Chorus: Now as I tumble down highways Or filthy overcrowded trains There's no one to talk to in transit So I sit there and daydream in vain And behind all these muddled up problems Of living on a foreign soil I can still see the twists and turns on the road From the square to the town of the tribes Chorus X2
