1.Ballybay
Greg：'And now we're going to play a little song,
a very tragic tune about a woman with a wooden leg
who dumped her husband in a quarry.'
Crowd：'Yay!'
In the town of Ballybay-hay
There was a maiden dwelling.
I knew her very well
And her story's worth a telling.
And her father kept a still,
And he was a good distiller....
When she took to drink as well
Well the devil couldn't fill her
A ring-a-dom a doo, a ring-a-dom a delly
She had a wooden leg it was hollow down the middle
She used to tie a sting in it and play it like a fiddle
She fiddled in the hall, she fiddled in the alleyway
She didn't give a damn sure she had to fiddle anyway
A ring-a-dom a doo, a ring-a-dom a delly
She said she wouldn't dance unless she had her welly
But when she had it on she would dance as well as any.
Once said she wouldn't go to bed unless she had her shimmy
But when she had it on she would go as quick as any.
A ring-a-dom a doo, a ring-a-dom a delly
She had lovers by the score every Tom, Dick and Harry
And she courted night and day but still she wouldn't marry
Then she fell in love with a fellow with a stammer
When he tried to get away, she hit him with a hammer
A ring-a-dom a doo, a ring-a-dom a delly
Greg：'Andrew Harkin on bass!' (bass solo)
Childer on the stairs and childer in the pyre
And another ten or twelve sitting rolling by the fire
And she fed him on potatoes
and a soup she made with nettles
And a lot of hairy bacon that she boiled in a kettle
A ring-a-dom a doo, a ring-a-dom a delly
She led a sheltered life, eating porridge and black pudding.
And she terrorized her man until he died quite sudden.
And when her husband died she was feeling very sorry
She rolled him in a bag and she threw him in a quarry
2.Alchemy
Sitting here and dreaming, dreaming of salvation,
And salvation comes in love, at least that's what they say
I don't know if it was love or just imagination
But the siren of my dreams was made like me of clay
Now I look outside my window at the people covered pavements
Shores to the river of the traffic running through
And the gray scale of sky says there's rain in my future
And the only blue that I can see is what I feel for you
We say that we'll be friends when we know we never will be
Once we were as one, now we lie alone
Alchemy once blended base metals into golden
Now what once was gold is transmuted into stone
Into lead and stone
Sitting here and dreaming, dreaming of a sunrise
The sunrise that takes over and the moon that fades away
Daylight when it happens obscures the dream of darkness
And the river shifts and shivers in the tawdry light of day
I know I was a fool to take it all for granted
Never once imagioned that I'd feel the way I do
And I know the past is gone and I wish I could forget it
But the begger never rides his horse,
My dreams are still of you
(chorus)
I am free to make my choices, I will choose my own direction
I will walk along the pathway that others choose for me
I will make my own decisions with sufficient introspection
Now I introspect away until there's nothing left to see
I can say that we'll be friends like it's really what I wanted
Not to hold you in my arms, to lie once more with you
But as alchemists once tried to change base metals into golden
It never worked for them back then,
Why should it now come true？
(chorus)
