“the past is another country”, I hear you say
cos you think you got away
well, wait till you find yourself back there
and the future was just a holiday
you will never get away
from the history
from the mystery you will never be free
you will never be free
you will never never never never be free
oh maria
I want to keep you in my house
I will burn you in my fireplace
So I will always have you here
Oh maria
I would
swallow my head
just to see my heart
maria used to party like a boom boom bomb
she would leave ya all gone
she was so strong
man, it’s wrong
and no-one else is allowed sing maria’s song
she used to party on a whole new level
she would leave you so dishevelled that the police turned up twice
oh man, she was so nice!
She used to lick me
Trick me
Give me the slip
But when we really clicked was when she’d tease me with her lips
A couple of guys died every time she shook her hips
“You’ve got to prune the tree”
that’s what she said to me
learn to say no
no I’m holdin’ onto my energy
“You’ve got to prune the tree of possibility,
learn to say no!”
and now what’s left in me
from when we were free?
Can you get back to that place?
Can you remember that taste?
Oh maria
I want to keep you in my house
I will burn you in my fireplace
So I will always have you here
Oh maria
I would
Swallow my head
Just to see my heart
Just like you said
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
