"The girl from Donegal"
 
written 2009 by Martin Gotz

 
Verse 1
There is a Girl From Donegal
Who came down to Galway
She was looking for a job
Ev-ry single night and day
She moved into a dirty house
With five dirty men
In a room with broken windows
They´ll never be fixed again 
Chorus
Poor Ineka don´t you worry
Life is not so bad
Just keep on smiling every day
And good´ll come of that
To a Girl From Donegal
A Girl From Donegal
Verse 2
One Day the Girl From Donegal
She drowned the alley cat
The dirty men didn´t know
They ever act-u-al-ly had
She dirtied up the big bathroom
THEY threw her things away
Sometimes I stop and wonder how
Much longer she CAN stay
Chorus
Sad Ineka don´t you worry
It´s no use being sad
Cook for them and clean the house
Life is not so bad
For a Girl From Donegal
A Girl From Donegal

Verse 3
I heard the Girl From Donegal
Worked in the Hotel bar
I don´t know how she got the job
without having a car
Never looked over her shoulder
She failed her driving test
She promised that the next time
She would do her very best
Chorus
Poor Ineka don´t you worry
Life is not so bad
Just keep on smiling every day
And good´ll come of that
To a Girl From Donegal
A Girl From Donegal
Bridge
Sweet Ineka don´t you worry
You will achieve it all
Marry a boy, have 7 Kids
But please, go back to Donegal
Chorus
Poor Ineka don´t you worry
Life is not so bad
Just keep on smiling every day
And good´ll come of that
To a Girl From Donegal
A Girl From Donegal
A Girl From Donega

"First American Band" First American Band God only knows how many tunes I´ve listened to in my room Songs of endless summer And the Surfer Moon Made me cuddle up with a surfer girl In the Californian sand I caught a wave while I fell in love to The rhythm of a steel drum band  Chorus: The First American Band From Southern California A Cousin and a Friend Along with three brothers They made their Mamas cry With every single song Their story isn´t over As long as their music plays on  Verse: Caroline my little girl Oh, where did your long hair go? You are no longer the sweet thing That I used to know I will pick you up in my 4-0-9 We’ll cruise the hamburger stands Because, everything is just fine When they play “Do you wanna dance”  Chorus: The First American Band From Southern California A Cousin and a Friend Along with three brothers They made their Mamas cry With every single song Their story isn´t over As long as their music plays on...

"Hide & Seek"

Hide & Seek   Girl tonight in this light you look like an angel to have you sculpted by the wind would take a million years   Would you like to dance tight I smell your perfume If we come close like face to face I´ll whisper through your tears   Chorus: You are the drum that makes my heart beat with passion You are the strings in every music session You are the words when I forget how to speak Since we played hide & seek You are the hands to pick the right chords for me In every Song the sweetest melody You show me ways when my writing gets weak Since we played hide & seek   Verse Love´s to share Not to declare Just lie down beside me Give me a chance, to watch you sleep Until the break of dawn   Growing old Stories told Our hearts are still beating Together we play hide & Seek Until all days are done Chorus (repeat) Bridge So If we turn 100, playing games hurts from our head to our toes Jus...
