1. Things Ain't Working Out Down at the Farm
There goes Moses carrying his bible book
Never has a problem, just has a cup
It's good clean alcohol and it fills you up
And here I go laughing like a fool, yeah
Things ain't working out down at the farm
Got no bag or baggage or love to keep me warm
And I ain't been in trouble since the day I was born
Things ain't working out down at the farm
I used to spend my sunny days supping aways
Along came Gogarty and he put me away
Down at the station was kept for strays
And I went laughing, geez he like busting me, he liked busting me
He caught me unawares and he made me strip naked
Oh I was scared, oh I was scared, I was shaking
And he said
It's you and me
And me and you
And me and me
And you and you
And me and me
And I just kept laughing like a fool, yeah
Things ain't working out down at the farm
2. Remembering Part 2 (New Day)
I could wait and watch you
See it all unwind
I could wait and look at you
See you change your mind
Well, even though I'd enjoyed it
The truth to tell
Kid, I've got to leave
Those scenes behind
Here I go into a new day
Here I go into a new way
When you stood in that shady doorway
You winked your wicked eye
I looked at you in wide eyed wonder
Smiled, and said "hi"
Just like you did woman with
That groovy guy that just passed by
Well, even though I adored you the truth to tell
Kid, I've got to leave those scenes behind
Here I go into a new day
Here I go into a new way
I guess i could call you my woman
But freedom i need
So down that road i'll be walking
Got to have time and space to breathe
Even though I loved you
The truth I've got to tell
I enjoyed every moment
But kid, you know darned well I've got to leave
Here I go into a new day
Here I go into a new way
3. Old Moon Madness
Late, sometime before midnight
He comes creeping up
And before you get him sussed
He's gone before dusk
And when you arise
Red ruby rings circle your eyes
If it's later than you realized
Check with the stars and the skies
Old moon madness has struck again
A howl in the dark light
A flash of teeth bright white
A scream and a bite
Old moon madness has struck again tonight
But there's no need to worry
For the crimes that you've done
Worse has been committed
With no moon madness to blame it on
Old moon madness has struck again
In fact you could say you're lucky
You and me
Mother Earth has only one moon
And not three
4. Dublin
After our affair
I swore that I'd leave Dublin
And in that line I'd left behind
The years, the tears, the memories and you
In Dublin
At the quays friends come and say farewell
We'd laugh and joke and smoke
And later on the boat
I'd cry over you
In Dublin
How can I leave the town that brings me down
That has no jobs
Is blessed by God
And makes me cry
Dublin
And at sea with flowing hair
I'd think of Dublin
Of Grafton Street and Derby Square
And those for whom I really care and you
In Dublin
