西城男孩之布萊恩( Brian McFadden ) Irish Son[愛爾蘭之子]

1.Irish Son

I was born in the heart of Dublin
To a holy book full of rules
Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools

We were warped by the Christian Brothers
In the cell blocks at our schools
Get a handprint on your skin
From a claw of Jewels

Go hit me now
That I'm twice your size
We brushed off the accusations
And bowed before your lies

This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
But it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
Just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cause this Irish son has moved with the times

Weddings deaths or baptizing children
That's my debt paid to the church
I don't need that kind of salvation
When I get hurt

Don't fill my head with sermons
And force me to believe

This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
And it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
Just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cause this Irish son has moved with the times

Our father who art in heaven
Come down here and make your presence known
We can't do it on our own
The lunatics let run the asylum
How can we find peace inside your home
When you can't trust your own

This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
But it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
So just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cause this Irish son has moved with the times
Cause this Irish son has moved with the times


2.Real To Me

Showbiz dinners and the free champagne
Men in suits who think they know it all
No one knows me but they know my name
That's not real to me

Hotel lobby to the aeroplane, another country but they start to
look the same
Watch the world behind a windowpane, That's not real to me.

When I see my babies run
When all the madness has been and gone
I'll raise my family and live in peace
Now that's what's real to me
Real to me

Dying flowers in a dressing room
A dangerous time to let your head make up its own mind
Got me thinking that the spirit's flown, that's not real to me

When I see my babies run
When all the madness has been and gone
I'll raise my family and live in peace
Now that's what's real to me

Picnics in the garden and the children they can play,
The first day of the summer and I'll laze here all the day
And we'll invite the family round and drink some English tea,
Then I raise up my finger and watch football on TV.

When I see my babies run
When all the madness has been and gone
I'll raise my family and live in peace
Now that's what's real to me
That's what's real to me, real to me.
Wake up you might be dreaming, wake up you might be dreaming now


3.Demons

Have you ever been lost in a diffrent world？
Where everything you once knew is gone
And you, find yourself powerless
With everything that exists
You're numb

Will I ever break free？

I search my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams

If you become a nobody
Blind to your family
Who would you be？
And life has gone into reverse
Re-living every hurt along the way

Everything that you fear
Is calling you and drawing near

I search my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams

Wake me up and let's go
I'm about to explode

I search my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams


4.Lose Lose Situation

When we fall out
I like to go driving in my car
Listen to something ironic
And end up in a bar

Get an earful of shit from a stranger
Who's got a broken heart
Weighing up what would be more painful,
Staying with your man
Or going back to her

Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes？
It's a lose-lose situation
For a shitty little crime
You can never win with women
It's pointless trying to try
It's a lose-lose situation till the day you die

Everybody knows the score
She'll be crying to the mother-in-law
And I'll be sleeping out with the dog
Must give Interflora
A call, a call, a call, a call...

Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes？
It's a lose-lose situation
For a shitty little crime
You can never win with women
It's pointless trying to try
It's a lose-lose situation till the day you die

Ooooh... Ooooh la-la-la
Ooooh... Ooooh la-la-la
Ooooh... Ooooh la-la-la
Ooooh... Ooooh la-la-la
Ooooh... Ooooh la-la-la
Ooooh...

Then we make up
I'm walking on egg-shells for a day
And I'll clean the house
In the hope that I might get a lay
I've been back to that drunken stranger
And something that he said
'You've made your bed so lie in it,
She'll be quiet when your dead'

Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes？
It's a lose-lose situation
For a shitty little crime
You can never win with women
It's pointless trying to try
It's a lose-lose situation till the day you die

And it's a lose-lose situation till the day you die


5.He's No Hero

It's another 6 am
As he stumbles in again
And my mother cries：
Don't wake the children!

Through the tears I can hear him say：
Didn't have much luck today
But he really knows
He just threw it away

He find his answers at the bottom at a bottle
And his life is always fully on the throttle
And he slowly turning out just like his father
And he knows

That he's no hero
But he's doing what he can
Trying to make me a better man
And he's no hero
But he made me what I am
Stop me from becoming another you

Daddy couldn't save himself
No-one ever care to help
And he looked at me
As what he could have been

Now I know what I've got to be
Everything that make him proud of me
With my second chance
That he never had

Cause his dreams are at the bottom of his bottle
And he's never gonna be who he oughtta
And he's just a little image of his father
And he knows

That he's no hero
But he's doing what he can
Trying to make me a better man
And he's no hero
But he made me what I am
Stop me from becoming another you

The dead end road on which I'm running
It's like he already knew
He lives the pain that would be coming
And I'm proud to say that he is my father
And it's okay

That he's no hero
But he's doing what he can
Trying to make me a better man
And he's no hero
But he made me what I am
Stop me from becoming
Stop me from becoming
Stop me from becoming another you
(Another you to end)


6.Sorry Love Daddy

It seems like only yesterday
I held you in my arms and said
You will never need to fear the dark
But unforeseen misery has come
Between your Mommy and me
And we can love you more, now we are apart

Daddy, he's got to go away
Coz there's just no other way
To live this through
Someday, you'll learn to understand
This wasn't what I planned, for me and you
Sorry, love Daddy

Everyday is filled with pain
But never feel that you're to blame
Sometimes life breaks, in mysterious ways
I can't make it up to you
Believe me I am trying to
No matter what you'll always be my babies


7.Pull Myself Away

Found myself magnatised
My senses they were hypnotised
Everything was drawing to you

I lose all sense of time
The everyday was pushed aside
Even though I've so much to lose

You have tried to open up my eyes
You don't mean a word you say
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away

Now I'm a danger list
The theif of love, it's everest
How can I have such a selfish heart？

Like the river needs the rain
I've come to drink your words again
That could come to blow my world apart

You can try to fix it with a lie
You don't mean a word you say
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away

Oh, what a beautiful way to go
What a beautiful way to go
What beautiful way,... to go

Something I will never do
Is be a cause of pain for you
I should just forget it all today

Drawing to you
I can't seem to
Pull myself away
I hear you calling
As I'm falling
Can't pull myself away

Drawing to you
I can't seem to
Pull myself away
I hear you calling
As I'm falling
Can't pull myself away

Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away


8.Be True To Your Woman

I was talking last night
To a friend who was thinking he might
Risk it all for a moment of lust
and adventure, so I told him

You can live everyday like your last
Pay the price and the moment will past
It's too late and there's no second chance
If it's over, you got nothing

Well I've been there
The grass was just fine on this side
Because I've been there
There's no getting back on that ride
There's no replacing the love you got
You don't have to lose to see what you've lost
Well just be true to your woman

No good living the lie
When it's over the secret won't die
She'll move on to another guy
She won't love you, like your wife

And I've been there
I don't recommend the pain
Because I've been there
Trust me as your friend
There's nothing to gain
There's no replacing the love you got
You don't have to lose to see what you've lost
Oh, just be true to your woman

Many years, working hard, everyone,
Gets tempted by something
They never knew, never had
The fantasy overtakes, over-rides, everything
And you'll get lost in a hollow world

All those years they are worth the lot
You only realise when they've gone
Then just be true
There's no replacing the love you got
You don't have to lose to see what you've lost
Just be true to your woman


9.Walking Disaster

Found myself magnetized
My senses, they were hypnotized
Everything was drawing to you
I lost all sense of time
The everyday was pushed aside
Even though I've so much to lose
You have tried to open up my eyes
You don't mean a word you say

Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away

Now I'm on a danger list
A thief of love, a terrorist
How can I have such a selfish heart？
Like the river needs the rain
I've come to drink your words again
That become to blow my world apart
You can try to fix it with a lie
You don't mean a word you say

Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away

Ooooooooooh
What a beautiful way to go
What a beautiful way to go
What a beautiful way to go

Something I will never do
Is become as a pain for you
I should just forget it all today

Drawing to you
I can't seem to
Pull myself away
I hear you calling
As I'm falling

Drawing to you
I can't seem to
Pull myself away
I hear you calling
As I'm falling
Can't pull myself away

Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away


10.Walking Into Walls

She wipes a tear from her brow
she's been crying again
she's been walking into walls again
behind her quivering smile
there's a secret
that goes deeper than the cuts she hides

her head's spinning 'round
he beat her soul to the ground
a grown woman in pain
and all she wants to be
is that little girl again

CHORUS：

She screams inside
and all she wants to be,
all she wants to be
is yesterday's child
she wants to hide
she can't run away
to the safety
of yesterday's child

Curled up,
shivering, alone
she's been hurt again
she's been walking into walls again.
Her children keep her alive
they're her sanity,
but they're the reason that she has to stay

A grown woman in pain
and all she wants to be
is that little girl again

CHORUS：

She screams inside
and all she wants to be
all she wants to be
is yesterday's child
she wants to hide
she can't run away
to the safety
of yesterday's child

(yesterdays child)
(yesterdays child)
(yesterdays child)
(oh yesterdays child)
Oh...

CHORUS：

She screams inside
and all she wants to be,
all she wants to be
is yesterday's child
she wants to hide
she can't run away
to the safety
of yesterday's child

Oh...oh...wow oh...


11.Almost Here

Did I hear you right
'Cause I thought you said
Let's think it over

You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you

Shadows bleeding through the light
Where a love once shined so bright
Came without a reason

Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you？

But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's
Not enough
But when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'Cause you're only almost here

I would change the world
If I had a chance
Oh won't you let me

Treat me like a child
Throw your arms around me
Please protect me

Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered how it hurts
Haven't I always loved you

But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's
Not enough
But when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'Cause you're only almost here

Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you

But when I need you, you're almost here
(Well I never knew how far behind I'd left you)
And when I hold you, you're almost here
(Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted)
(Now I'm with you, I'm close to tears
'Cause I know I'm almost here)
Only almost here
