Thanks for the stone, I feel it in my hand And thanks to you for trying to understand As I feel it in my hand I'm thinking about you Standing on the seashore and your thoughts are far away Seeing them sail off in the sea and seeing the ship sink Well I wonder is there any room left on board for my troubles I guess I could blow them away in bubbles but a bubble would burst And so would you?
CHORUS Thanks for the stone Thanks for the stone
Thanks for the stone, I roll it 'round my knuckles Did it sleep on the seabed with the mussells and the cockles As I lay on my bed, I drift into a dream Sitting on the rocks naked, drenched by the splashing sea Then I make a paper boat out of my song, sailing it free, sailing it free We were sailing, sailing ,sailing, sailing, sailing And then the Gods made love?
CHORUS (X2)
Thanks for the stone and it I will keep And thanks to you for swimming so deep I can see you now sitting on the sand With the stone alone, Staring at the horizon, staring at the horizon Thanks for the stone, thanks for the stone
And how are they all in Springtown can you still drink the water that flows neath the sports park is there still apples in the castle to steal and how does it feel to be stuck there. Does the monument still hold no statue and are our names still framed on the pavement when we were ten the world is getting smaller and wilder for me but it's not wild enough to stop me remembering.
Chorus See I want home, I want home, I want home It's where I've buried all my bones
And is the trolley still sleeping at the botton of the bridge we learnt to smoke on and is Trisha still teasing the men I swore one day I would steal her back, and do you remember when we compared our manhood's at the scout dance after we got kicked out of the cub's getting spins on the tennis court on St. Stephens night at the rugby club
Chorus
Buried all my bones, buried all my heart
And is St. Brendan still beheaded and covered in piheon shit and do the still serve bread and cocoa at the boy's school for the lads whose parents haven't got a bit. And are our names worn out on the pavement yet that we wrote with the stick of an ice pop, pop, pop, and is the pole still bent down on Main Street, under the sign that says 'stop'.
PRIVATE PARADISE You'll never see me again 'cause I'm going away somewhere I can be on my own, all alone where all is calm, see you took too much from me and you left me wasted, you drank all my bloody wine and you never even let me taste it
Chorus I'm going away somewhere I can be on my own all alone, where all is calm
Here is my heart rapting my soul it doesn't matter if you rapted it 'cause it's sailing and it's gold see a tree house somewhere in the sky and that's where I'm going where somewhere is always yeah, and a beatiful blue breeze is blowing
Chorus
And I'll be ok, and I'll be ok be ok, be ok, be ok, be ok....
