COVER UP
(C.Kerrigan)
Short skirt, midriff shows your tan
Are you out there looking for a man
Why you out so late?
Wolf whistles, cat calls, you smile.
If you don’t they’ll only make you cry
Sometimes you cry
Oh you better cover up your skin, Cover up our sins
Oh you better cover up your skin, Cover up our sins
Don’t look at me in that tone,
Do it again I’ll take you home
(let me take you home)
Cover your hair, your smile, your face.
If I see it I’ll only want a taste
Don’t be distracting – you’re distracting me
Jesus girl don’t you have no shame,
Can’t you see you’re the only one to blame,
I warned you
You’re on display for the world to judge,
We’ll choose desire or disgust
It’s up to us

METAPHOR
(C.Kerrigan)
Write me a metaphor, make an allusion,
Tell me anything but what you really mean
Write me a metaphor
Write me a metaphor, make an allusion
Write me a metaphor
Words are your weapons, you spin them around to suit yourself
You’re a magician, a sculptor, a thief,
You take what you want and then make the story fit
Lies are your poison, you spread them around so gracefully
They drip from your mouth and they cover my skin
There is no antidote

DEVIL'S GOT YOUR SOUL
(C.Kerrigan)
Long nights on your own
Waiting just to get back home
Lonely motel rooms that never end
Broken hearts that never seem to mend
You can’t make it on your own
So it’s one more for the road
Devils got your soul
You listen to the calling
You can’t wait for the morning light
It’s all there for the taking
It whispers till it breaks you
Desperation makes the strong fall
It’s an addiction you can’t fight it any more
You promise it’s your last
But the truth is in your past
You couldn’t leave now if you wanted to
The Devil she has caught you

SEASONS
(C.Kerrigan)
Winter comes with it's driving rain
It’s cold in here, all I feel is our pain
Bring the winds back, the swirling leaves collecting at my feet
When the storm breaks I’ll be standing here
Don’t leave me behind
Now you’ve found your new direction
I’m falling behind
Can’t keep up with your seasons
I’m frozen here in the aftermath of your self destruction
God only knows what happened this time
Bent and broken, torn apart and cast out to the wind
When the storm breaks will I be standing here?
Bring the winds back
Bring the winds back

YOU
(C.Kerrigan)
Sometimes it’s just the little things
that tear me up, tear me down.
Days can pass, tasks come and go.
Then a memory steals in,
I see your name, hear you whispering in the wind.
Your breath still lingers in the cobwebs of my mind
The sea is angry tonight, are you casting your net,
looking for another way in?
You don’t need to cause a fuss - you never did,
you’re always welcome here.
The white buds on the baby camellia
Announce the season of your arrival
They’re small and tender, delicate and new
Like you, they disperse in the window of my soul
You’re always on my mind
Sometimes it’s just the little things
That tear me up, tear me down
Years can pass, we’re growing old
But your memory never fades
I see your name, hear your footsteps in the breeze
You’re always on my mind
