Days on It
(Gavaghan)
The desperation's too on top to mention
I love the acclaim, can't stand the attention
I've been days on it
How I long for those simpler times
Just can't get the hang of these awkwarder climes
I've been days on it
Don't tell me that I'm wrong
I memorised the sequence
That stuff the other day man
It doesn't bear repeating
But oh, look at what you started
I haven't looked back since the day we parted
Time is a great healer!
Conspiracy nut talking dirty to Alexa
Another unsolicited ill-informed lecture
I've been days on it
I'm fully costed and up on the table
I'm indefatigable willing and able
I've been days on it
'Already bad enough'
Said the rag and cloth seller
Back bent double what a strange little fella
All day out there at the barrow
Down at Paddy's market
Never shifting from the shadows
Time is a great healer!

Hanging On
(Gavaghan)
When my eyes can't meet anyone that I see
The answer to my every question
Is whispered by the wind up there in the trees
It'll all work out for the best I reckon
Hanging on, I can just about make it
Hanging on, I can just about take it
Hanging on, keeping the discourse light
Pretending everything is alright
When the performance is weighing down upon me
The answer to my every illusion
Is whispered by the waves out there in the sea
The grandmaster of my own delusion
Hanging on, I can just about make it
Hanging on, I can just about fake it
Hanging on, the conversation trite
Pretending everything is alright
When I'm sitting there counting up the balance sheet
The answer to my every worry
Is whistled by the birds out there on the street
Take your time lad, don't you hurry
Hanging on, I can just about make it
Hanging on, I can just about shake it
Hanging on, the conversation shite
Pretending everything is alright
