STREETCAR All music and lyrics by Miriam Donohue
Roads go on forever into your back yard,
hills turn into mountains
people into cars
and all is bright and blurry a streetcar named desire
as signing posts ans homeless ghosts hang off the corner boulevard
And yes i love the feeling of cruising round town
I'm stuck in, I'm reeling in the gridlocked eiderdown,
sometimes getting itchy feet means walking out for ten
sometimes it means rolling out the bends
Well we all go the same way like ants unto our Queen
guided by the traffic lights our neon tails all weave
the least detail the smallest scale is lost in time and speed
and we're paying no attention to where this road might lead
And yes i love the feeling of cruising round town
I'm stuck in, I'm reeling in the gridlocked eiderdown,
sometimes getting itchy feet means walking out for ten
sometimes it means rolling out the bends
We all live in boxes, afraid of what we see,
we gave our boxes little wheels so that we felt free
and all is bright and blurry a streetcar named desire
as signing posts ans homeless ghosts hang off the corner boulevard
And yes i love the feeling of cruising round town
I'm stuck in, I'm reeling in the gridlocked eiderdown,
sometimes getting itchy feet means walking out for ten
sometimes it means rolling out the bends

BOOKMARKS All music and Lyrics written by Miriam Donohue
I remember how the pages curled beneath my fingertips,
and the first taste of a kiss,
it seems so long ago,
getting lost between the lines,
folding corners to mark times to which we would return
People wishing on a star,
people making love
People wishing on a star,
people making love
Overcast in overcoats on paper boats we sail,
on a paper... trail
Floating through these cardboard streets we wave to passers-by
Searching for the perfect partner for our little boat,
Carefully we fold away our sails into our coat
People wishing on a star,
people making love
People wishing on a star,
people making love
Do you remember how the pages curled beneath your fingertips,
and the first taste of a kiss,
it seems so long ago,
getting lost between the lines,
folding corners to mark times to which you would return
People wishing on a star,
people making love
People wishing on a star,
people making love
Overcast in overcoats on paper boats we sail,
on a paper... trail
Floating through these cardboard streets we wave to passers-by
Searching for the perfect harbour for our little boat,
Carefully we fold away our sails into our coat

PLASSEY
All music and lyrics by Miriam Donohue
'Howling heaven have washed her and her cargo,
Burning sun has left her out to dry,
Deep in her heart I wonder does she grieve you,
Coming on troubled waters,
Don't you drown"

WAITING All music and lyrics by Miriam Donohue
It's a wave that never crests,
it's a song stuck in my breast,
I'm always waiting,
for circles in the sand,
for you to hold my hand,
I'm always waiting"
