the secret dread
fills your head
a cloud of lead
it soaks your blue jeans sticky
to your tired legs
out in the cold in the old country
the leafless trees in winter
can offer you no shelter
nothing will top the days you smelt her hair
it's the secret dread that fills your head:
that everything will turn out just like she said
alright, lets do this
i knew this
if i threw this true love away
i'd go through this
but i'm attracted to newness
if i blew this bliss it was for the sake of adventurousness
that snake never mentions this bit
ask eve about it
i'm like her in the garden
i see the apple
and i start to harden
free people have heart and hearken
i gave up the whole hamburger for the gherkin
what's lurkin' round the corner?
the devil beckons
another game of poker
oh sure
the deck is stacked
but i've got aces up my sleeve for a counter attack
cos if i'm brave enough to leave
i'm brave enough to come back
This is an album I made in collaboration over the internet with two fine musicians back home in Dublin Ireland. There is a very interesting mix of styles, tones and rhythms. Dan Ball
