25.01.2022 Your Time Now's not the time to hesitate Don't wait no don't procrastinate Be the first one out the gate Get up get set and go... Now's not the time to second guess Be confident you'll pass the test Now stand up proud and beat your chest Be the star in your own show Your time is now Your time is here Take back the control That you had given to fear Your time is here Your time is now That's the where and the when Now just work on the how Now's not the time for looking back Don't let your future be hijacked Get on the front foot and attack Take the lead and they'll follow Now's not the time to tow the line Don't fall behind you'll miss the signs So taste the food enjoy the wine And let the good times flow Your time is now Your time is here Take back the control You had given to fear Your time is here Your time is now That's the where and the when Now just work on the how Now's not the time to sit n dwell Don't stay inside locked in your shell Sing hallelujah ring the bell Let everybody know Now's not the time to doubt yourself Don't gather dust up on the shelf You are the giant not the elf It's time for you to grow Your time is now Your time is here Take back the control You had given to fear Your time is here Your time is now That's the where and the when Now just work on the how
24.01.2022 I met an old man at the Greyhound Bar Who could tell by my accent that I'd travelled far "Son what brings you here to this town of mine And how did you get that beard looking so fine"... I said you're right mate I've sure travelled far To enjoy a chat with you in this here bar I'm here for the weather, the pubs and the Rose And my beard looks much finer the longer it grows And we didn't say much more than that We drank and we smoked in the spot where we sat But one thing i learned from our bar stool exchange Was céad milé fáilte, Ireland hasn't changed The next day i walked down to my new local bar On the streets of Tralee there's no need for a car The ol fella was sitting in the same exact place And he greeted me with a big smile on his face He said "Son i was hoping I'd see you again I could tell right away that we would be friends" Then he bought me a pint and i bought him one back And we smoked and we drank while enjoying the craic And we didn't say much more than that We drank and we smoked in the spot where we sat But one thing i learned from our bar stool exchange Was céad milè fáilte, Ireland hasn't changed The last day i went back to my favourite bar For the very last time and one more hurrah It was no great surprise to see my old mate Who cheekily told me that today i was late "Mate I'm here to say my final goodbye I'm sure you'll miss me but please don't you cry" He laughed and he thanked me for hanging around I said céad milé fáilte to you and your town
24.01.2022 Is it just me or does everyone else feel ten years older in the winter months??? Grandpa Slippers At the end of the working day It's nice just to relax... I put my grandpa slippers on And my well worn trackie dacks Then I sit back with my feet up In my old reclining chair And in that precious moment I do not have a care The kids have got their jammies on Their bellies are well fed We let them get their sillies out Then send them off to bed Sit down I'll put the kettle on We'll have a cup of tea And for the briefest moment It's only you and me And the days are long And the nights are cold The kids have grown They're getting bold My white beard hair It once was gold And we're wondering when we got so old. And the bills we pay Are up ten fold The dreams we bought Have all been sold The songs we sing And the stories told Remind us that we're getting old. At the end of the working week It's nice just to unwind Our favourite Chinese restaurant With a bottle of fine wine But I think I ate too much again It's no wonder I got fat And in that blissful moment I couldn't care about that The kids are at their Nannas house They're staying for the night We're gonna paint the town bright red Stay out till morning light From the backseat of the taxi cab We see the clock tick ten And in that PM moment We are not young again And the days are long And the nights are cold The kids have grown They're getting bold My white beard hair It once was gold And we're wondering when we got so old. And the bills we pay Are up ten fold The dreams we bought Have all been sold The songs we sing And the stories told Remind us that we're getting old.

18.01.2022 I've been around for nearly 4 decades but this last one has been the best by far! The Y in my happy Your love is fresh coffee to my early morning... Your love lets me sleep when I'm tired and yawning Your love wakes me up with a kiss without warning Your love is familiar but somehow brand new Your love is the salad right next to my steak Your love is your world famous potato bake Your love is ten candles, anniversary cake Your love fills me up like a good Irish stew. Your love is your body in your summer dress Your love needs no make-up to keep me impressed Your love sends my heart to cardiac arrest Your love is so beautiful, beautiful like you Your love is a night out with good friends of ours Your love keeps on dancing until the wee hours Your love is so hot I might need a cold shower Your love is a temple and I worship you. Your love knows the words to all my favourite tunes Your love lifts me up 99 red balloons Your love has seen every nickelodeon cartoon Your love is as cute as Scooby dooby doo Your love is sudocream on Pachos wee bum Your love brings home chocolate for number 1 son Your love is the caring touches of a Mum Your love is the bond kind of like supaglue. Your love is my island when I'm lost at sea Your love is the compass that helped me find me Your love is our future full of memories Your love is all I need to help me get through Your love is the sweet taste of every kiss Your love is the Mrs that used to be Miss Your love is 10 years of mostly wedded bliss Your love started my heart when you said I Do Your love makes it easy Your love's always right I'm so glad your love is every day and every night Your love leaves me breathless Your love sets me free I'm so glad your love is still in love with me Your love keeps it simple Your love plays it straight I'm so glad your love is also my soulmate Your love keeps it honest Your love tells it true I'm so glad your love is beautiful like you
17.01.2022 So this is our song that didn't make it through to the finals of SCALA FOOM SONGWRITERS COMPETITION. We're not fussed. Was great to hear the song live.
14.01.2022 Not a day goes by without wishing you were still here. Love you and miss you J.Norts x Alas If you were still here I'd show you my words... That I wrote about boys n girls, bees n birds And if you didn't like them well I'd start again For you were my lyrical muse my old friend If you were still here I'd play you my tune A bottle of red, my guitar and the moon And if your toes were tapping to the three chords I know Then maybe we'd play it at our very next show But alas the show won't go on So I'll give up trying to finish this song For alas you're no longer here. .... And I'm drowning in whisky And choking on tears If you were still here I'd buy you a drink I'd tell you my problems just to see what you think And if you couldn't fix them or rest me assured I'd order another and we'd drink some more If you were still here I'd share you my dreams I'd give you a minute to work out what they mean If you couldn't decipher what my subconscious said I'd bid you goodnight and I'd go back to bed For alas the show won't go on So I'll give up trying to finish this song For alas you're no longer here. ... And I'm drowning in whisky And choking on tears If you were still here we'd finish this song We'd gather our friends and we'd all sing along But it won't ever happen and that makes me cry It's just my guitar, my whisky and I.
13.01.2022 Change There's a man on the street Begging you for change With a look in his eye... That borders on deranged But he doesn't want your money So don't be so fucking rude The change that he is pleading for Is a change in attitude. There's a girl on the stage Wanting you to hear With peace in her eyes And a voice that's so sincere But she doesn't want your record deal If you want her to pose nude She'll keep singing her songs of hope For a change in attitude. And they're waiting for the tide to turn For the shifting of the sands Not listening to the calls for arms But for the joining of our hands And they're not waiting for destiny Or for the tossing of the coin They're calling for the world to change And they're asking you to join There's a kid in his class Asking you to care With a tear in his eye And a sad look of despair But he doesn't need your mockery So dude don't call him dude He just wants us to become The change in attitude.
12.01.2022 Mad buzz seeing my name on a CD alongside some legendary locals
12.01.2022 I wrote the first part of this 20 years ago then the next part 10 years ago....might have to write a part 3 now I'm 43
12.01.2022 Sibling Revelry If we believed in sibling rivalry I know i would not stand a chance While I'm sitting in the corner... You're the first one up to dance You're the life of every party The face that draws a crowd Though i might be slightly jealous It's not what makes me proud It's your openness your honesty Your willingness to share Your genuine sincerity Its the way you show you care It's the way your eyes are shining In the most diminished light It's the way i want to hold you close And make everything alright It's your bravery and courage Mixed with gentleness and grace It's your love and it's your laughter It's the smile upon your face It's your spirit, soul and energy Shit it's even your iq It's a million different reasons I wish i was more like you In the game of family feud I know i could never win For you have this unmatched beauty That comes from deep within It's a beauty more than skin deep It's in what you say and do It's the reason that i smile with pride Wishing i was more like you
10.01.2022 Routine Anxiety Sunday night is when it creeps in Anxiety crawls out from under my skin It feels so dirty like an unwashed sin... I wish it would disappear The weekend came and went too quick I've got the urge to call in sick Or maybe give this job the flick I can't do another year My legs are heavy My feet are sore I don't think I can take any more My back is broken My fingers bleed A change in direction is what I need My mind is weary My body aches I measure time by my smoko breaks My heart is honest My soul tells no lies Every single morning a piece of me dies. Monday morning it's at it's worst I know it's real it's not rehearsed Am I unlucky or am I cursed The end is surely near I've felt this way for far too long This emptiness does not belong It's time to turn my weak to strong And stand up to my fear
07.01.2022 Hudson's Journey I see the cutest little boy Who should be playing with his toys While other kids are out to play... He's back in hospital today Another round of surgery Another act of bravery I watch his journey from afar And pray for this little star I see the bravest little man Holding his Dadas sturdy hand His Mama right there at his side Hiding the tears she must have cried I put myself inside their shoes Wishing there's something i could do I watch his journey from back here Wiping away a helpless tear And i can't help but be inspired By his courage and his fight And i give my boys an extra kiss When i tuck them in at night And i do not know the family To tell them that i care So i keep them close and constant In my thoughts and in my prayers I see the coolest little dude Display the perfect attitude To get himself back on the mend Back in the schoolyard with his friends Living a happy healthy life Full of mischief full of strife I'll watch his journey full of joy This brave, courageous little boy

03.01.2022 Sometimes we just need reassuring. Time of need Will you be there for me like I was there for you... Would you do all it takes just to get me through Would you take me some place faraway and new Say you will and then go out and make it true. Will you get me so high when I am feeling low Would you hide me from the truth I don't need to know Would you take me to a place we both can grow Say you will and then go out and make it so Cos I was there when you needed me To get you back on your two feet I never left you in between No I could never be so mean But now it's me who's feeling weak So lost down here on lonely street I'm begging you from bended knee Please be the one to care for me In my time of need. Will you find me if I get lost along the way Would you hear my cries if I said that I'm not ok Would you take me to a place not cold and grey Say you will and then go out and make my day
01.01.2022 When optimism crashes in to realism to become temporary pessimism Existential I took a walk along memory lane... To search for those things that once kept me sane Was my hope lying there in the scattered remains Or washed away in the tears of the rain I took a walk down your garden path Where we did things and not by half We shared a smoke and had a laugh Sacrificial lamb or new born calf And are the answers blowing in the wind Should i tip my hat up to the sun And make offers i can not rescind In the name of each and every one I took a walk in another's shoes For i thought it might help to at least share their blues I picked up the paper but could not read the news Was ignorance an option i could really choose I took a walk in my well worn feet That were tired from marching to their own beat Was there any honour in admitting defeat Should i surrender or should i retreat Will my flame it blow out in the wind Will my eyes they go blind from the sun Is forgiveness for all who have sinned Is there good in each and every one
01.01.2022 Two Fine I'd give you my heart And a little bit more I'd give you my soul... Cos you know that's what it's for I'd give you my mind And all it contains I'd give you my body My lungs and my veins I'd give you my eyes So you can see That I'd give you all That you want from me I'd give you all this And hope you receive I'd give me completely In the hope you believe That you are so perfect in every way And you get more perfect with every day I can't believe that you two you are mine And i can't believe that i made you so fine
01.01.2022 This is something I'm working on at the moment. It's kind of an Irish Tragedy Ballad. New York Nights... Walking Forty Second street With my hands inside my pockets My collar turned up high to hide my shame. Well worn soles beneath my feet Her hair inside a locket I gave up the right to ever speak her name. On the cold and lonely banks Of the mighty Hudson River An old man sings a song so full of pain. Give a dollar for my thanks And my blanket for his shiver I sing along to try and keep me sane. And I'm missing my true love The one I left behind The one who bore my child and wears my shame. I'm not looking for new love Nor someone to share the blame I'm just looking to survive these New York nights Find myself in Paddys Bar Pint of black to ease my sorrow These New York streets are loneliest at night. Pour some whiskey in my jar For I might not see tomorrow I'm drunk as hell n spoiling for a fight. There's a lady i don't know Making sure my glass ain't empty I haven't heard a single word she said. Now she has a certain glow And I've sure had my plenty So I let her take me home to warm her bed And I'm missing my true love The one I left behind The one who bore my child and wears my shame. I'm not looking for new love Nor someone to share the blame I'm just looking to survive these New York nights Wrote a letter to me Ma Try to tell her that I'm sorry I ask her to forgive the things I've done. And I'm dying for me Da For I can not help but worry He's paying for the sins of his wretched son. And I'm missing my true love The one I left behind The one who bore my child and wears my shame. I'm not looking for new love Nor someone to share the blame I'm just looking to survive these New York nights
