Don't Leave Me Here
time was when you were on my side
giving me strength to fight the tide
the tide has turned, I'm sinking down
don't turn away, I need you now
don't leave me here
strange to think of how it might have been
taking the chances with every scene
the lights go up, the curtain falls
what I need now is your applause
don't leave me here
lightning strikes, thunder rolls
lacking the credence to ride the storm
one more flash will blind me
take my hand and guide me
don't leave me here

Autumn (lyrics P McMahon music C & P McMahon 1986)
Well I can still remember how it used to be
When you were here with me
And even after all these years I still feel the pain
Cos I know I won't see you again
Most of the time you'll find me here
At my table by the door
I don't know what I come here for
Landlord, Landlord, Landlord fill the flowing bowl
Until it runs over
In these Autumn years why must I be alone
I would never have left you
Just one more question to ask before I break down & cry
Why did you have to die?

The Ceiling's Coming Down (lyrics P McMahon music P Chisnell, C & P McMahon 1983)
It's friday night & I just got paid a fiver or two
Two excuses to celebrate by suinking a feww
Propping the bar up in the Gropers Arms talking too loud
Vision blearing speech centre's gone the rooms spinning round
I get the feeling the ceiling's coming down it's spinning & reeling above my head
I get the feeling something's falling on my head
Down to the nightclub for a handful more the beers warm & flat
There's not much strength to take your legs away in the water of gnats
The morning after the night before I wish I was dead
Mouth like the floor of a parrots cage theres carrots diced on my bed

The Red Room (Paul McMahon) 1987
By the light of reason, all the world seems clear, what do we have left to fear
And in the eyes of science, each obeys the rules, those who doubt are worse than fools
Nightmare vision the language of dreams, heeds no law
Oh in the dead of the night you never know what will grow
Dead eyed spectres remorseless and cold, walk the room
Here in silence they watch through the dark windows of the soul
We live by our assumptions, some of them are true, but most of them we never prove
The guiding force of interlect, gave us all it knew, but it only asks the questions it gives answers to
Older instincts have gone underground, undisturbed
How can you deny what you don't even know is here
In the Red Room we see what we are, and what we were
Here in subconscious refuge we dance to the pulse of fear, the pulse of fear
We are the nightmares you can't escape,
we are your childhood fears you've locked away
We are the dark thoughts left unspoken
We are behind that door you fear to open
To the Red Room
To the Red Room
Here in the Red Room, we feed on hate
Here in the Red Room, we wait, we wait
We wait

For Whom (lyrics P McMahon music P McMahon 1983)
Maybe I've been wroing
But I wish I could see you now
And though it seems so long ago
I need you still
I've never been a slave to truth but
I meant every word I said
Every move I made
I made for you
If you need a friend
You'llalways find mew here
I'll stay by you until the end
I love you still
And we'll watch the years go by
I'll be right here by your side
We can turn the tide
We can turn the tide
I know that I've been wrong
But I wish I could touch you now
I know I let some chances slip
Give me just one more
I never gave a damn for truth but
They cannot hurt you now
Don't let them hurt you now
And we'll watch the years go by
I'll be right here by your side
I meant every word I said
Evey move I made
I made for you

Fading Away (lyrics P McMahon music P McMahon 1986)
Take it from me there's no way out of here
Honest to God there's no escape
Do what you will to keep your conscience clear
Drown your confusion in the Grape
We are the children in the maze lost in the haze
Living in hope of brighter days fading away
Flogging a dark horse down a dead end street
Haunted by spectres of defeat
Why break your heart fighting the stream
Just take the easy way you know what I mean
Just turn around & go with the flow
And if it drags you down that's the way it goes
One little drink can bring us sweet release
Pass me that bottle if you please

The Vice

The Vice (lyrics P McMahon music C & P McMahon 1981)
When the vice of sleep lies broken
And the curtains of night hang torn
Unbidden thoughts are awoken
In the uncertain light of dawn you think you see
Well it can give you the strangest feeling
So gently it slips away
And the friends that you once thought so near
Seem to fade in the light of day
Well it's always been that way
And I think it's too late now
It may be too late
So much time has passed since then
I am no longer sure just how I feel
I don't know why they call time a healer
When it tears your flesh apart
Wipes out all your feelings
Squeezes tears of blood from your heart
Yes it's always been that way
And I think it's too late now
Yes I'm quite sure it's too late
Why does time take all our lives
And rip up apart it tears us apart
Heardens hearts & closes minds
As foetid hands choke life from life to dust
I was there even in your darkest hour
Fight despair only fear & hate devour
I was there even in your darkest hour
Fight despair only fear & hate devour

In The Light (Paul McMahon)
You rise to greet the day
With the night far behind
In some mysterious way
You're not all alone
Trapped behind these walls
But inside you're free
To wander ancient halls
Forever turning keys
You spoke of your dreams once
But so long ago
Is it too late now
Will they never grow
How long have you been here
Shut away from light
When will it be clear
That your way is right
You spoke of your dreams once
Your dreams were so old
But now in the light of this new day
The blade is so cold

See Her Face

|

See Her Face (lyrics P McMahon music P McMahon 1986)
She knows she has the strength of illusion
She will never concede the game
Face to fac e revealing only what she wants to show
She shines, like the sun on a window pane
She needs no hiding place, see her face
She waits, alone in a web of seclusion
One eye stares at the falling rain
He will come, to burn his wings before the lighted flame
She smiles, cold as frost on the crystal pane
She needs no hiding place, see her face
She moves, he follows as lamb to the slaughter
Dancing only at her command
In the end, his eyes shall see her as she is and then
Her hand cuts the string and the puppet dies

The Ember (lyrics P McMahon music C & P McMahon 1984)
How far down can you go? How much does it show?
Losing faith in the game nothing fits the same
Total breakdown final closedown
Three stand stark on the stage
One night standing pain unending
Til the end of the age
Passing, leaving behind, children of the blind
Lifeblood, red rivers flow, the ember can still glow
So many things have ended, so many race run
That when the night comes down again
Who the hell has won?
Hold on, nothing is real, don't heed what you feel
Don't cry, we must be strong, nothing last for long

Another Country (Chris & Paul McMahon)
The red lines hit the headlines the cover is blown
The stranger grace and danger we fear the unknown
Truth and slander propaganda the smoke without flame
Mutation alienation the difference is plain
No no never in a million years
No not in this world
You have a fine way of living
You have a nice way of putting me down
But when it comes to forgiving - you don't
This is another country
This is my home I wouldn't change it
Over the border lies the promised land
Religion television the tools and the trade
Discloses blood and roses the land we have made
Divisions politicians scoring points in the game
Two nations for generations we were never the same
No no never in a million years
No not in this world
'Cos when it comes to forgiving - you don't
This is another country
This is my home I wouldn't change it
Over the border lies the promised land
This is another country
This is my home I wouldn't change it
This is the country that I understand

The Load

The Load (P McMahon)
silence, breathing, pulse beats slow
lifeblood courses, veins dilate
eyes stare blindly, pupils glow
cataclysm imminent
you can only wait
reason nods politely slips out by the back door
logic reels & shakes it's head & looks away
intuition sighs, it's seen this facile play before
manic laughter every mad dog has it's day
limbs work disjointedly, mouth slack in vacant dismay
a scarcely articulate puppet, the madman at play
wake look around you the walls that surround you
are padded and grey, there's no glass, there's no cutlery
external sensory input is zero
the psyche implodes, psychic shrapnel tears holes in your mind
take the strain, the power can hold back the pain
ebb and flow, alone you must carry the load
chasing rainbows
on where god knows

Fallen Leaves (by Paul Chisnell, Paul McMahon, Chris McMahon & Rob Heeley)
Leaves long since fallen have been blown into the roadside
Their veins bleached a blatant silver against the reds and golds of autumn
By winter's frosty hand
Fallen Leaves
The warm room beckons shuttered windows blazing fires
Forlorn we shelter against the late of glowring gales
Laughing in glee as it hesitates and destroys the delicate web
Woven by the summers evening in my head
Fallen Leaves
A glass of cider sitting on the warm earth
Dust of countless feet treading on towards the autumn
Where the leaves have long since fallen
Fallen Leaves

Mountain

Mountain (lyrics P McMahon music P Chisnell, C & P McMahon 1984)
High touching everything
Light guild the eagles wing
Touching the moments reflecting the light
Reaching the fountain reeling in the height
Hide in the shadew of a mountain
Core eroding marrow to bone
The seeds of silence are sown
Living behind breezes cooling in fie
Rising to capture the flames of desire
Light in the shape of a mountain
Flash revealing tendon & bone
Betraying framework of stone
Leaving behind in the stone of the pyre
Picture portrayed in the heart of the fire
Fly down the face of of a mountain
Light replacing muscle & bone
Behold the blood of the stone
High seeing everything
Might sear the granite ring
The mountain rises in fire

The Hum

The Hum (lyrics P Chisnell, music P Chisnell, C & P McMahon 1983)
Up and down the street the lights go on
says Ethel to Joe "can you hear the hum"
"oh go to sleep"
"oh go to sleep"
But the hum got worse & sleep got less
Soon poor old Joe couldn't dream of Tess
Trouble was near
Trouble was near
The cause they found was underground
Ethel dashed indoors to phone the town
"moles are at war"
"moles are at war"
In recessed dim blind panic reigned
As moles brown and black fought a battle of hue
How do they know who is who?
How do they know who is who?
Now all their troubles are soon to pass
As the man from the town brought out his gas
Now we can all get some sleep
Now we can all get some sleep

The Night (P McMahon 1979)
Well there was never a moment when I believed that I was alone
Though I never knew I could be so sure
That when my mind was troubled I could call on you
Never doubting you would help me
How could I be so wrong? Why did I trust you?
I placed all my hopes on you to be let down again
But now now I see you were never there at all
You see that I I could never doubt you
But I can live without you I'm sure I can
You see that I never needed you that was just a phase I was going through believe me
All this time and nothing left to show
But self deluding dreams than never grow
Acid thoughts bite deep into my pain
Ice cold fear drives bitterness insane
I see now what I must do I guess I always knew
And now now that all is said and done I never really cared
You see that I I knew it all along
But I took that pain and I was strong but not enough
I can face the night but when that darkness leaves
I just can't bear to face the dawn alone not alone

Stone House (lyrics P McMahon music P McMahon 1987)
Line by line we build our scriptures
With the power of words shining in our hands
It's our story it's our story we live
It's our story it's our story we live
Stone by stone we lay foundations
With the strength of faith the rock on which we build
It's a labour it's a labour of love
It's a labour it's a labour of love
In the arms of the tallest mountain high above the shifting sand
In the world we build together this house of stone shall stand
Day by day we pull together
With the fires of hope burning in our eyes
It's the future it's the future we make
It's the future it's the future we make
In the eyes of a thousand children in the voices of the crowd
By the light that fills the heavens this house of stone shall stand

Last Orders (lyrics P McMahon music P McMahon 1986)

Gentle breeze blows through the trees
Sighing in a voice like winter
Last Orders please
Last Orders please
