Pot O' Gold was originally envisaged as 'best of Belfast', following feedback that the 4CD Rough Diamonds, Precious Jewels was "too much". In the end a couple of tracks from The Norman Conquest were added

[Go to Song Page]
Wah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up
Take a look at what you done to yourself
Why don't ya put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingers from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah
Ya-ah yeah
You got gonorrhea on Valentine’s day
You're still looking for the perfect lay
You think a-rock and roll will set you free
You'll be deaf before you're thirty three
Shoot junk till you're half insane
A broken needle in your purple vein
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
You sleep all night
Work all day
You take your money
Throw it all away
Say you're gonna be a superstar
But you've never hung around enough
To find out who you really are
Yea-ah
Wo-oh
A-think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free, your heart ran wild
Each day was different, life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
Things have changed, you're much older now
If you're unhappy and you don't know how
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Yeah yeah yeah
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
You oughta check it for yourself
(Why don't you) look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Wo oh oh oh ye-ah

[Go to Song Page]
Well come on pretty baby want a-moving and a-grooving
Shake it baby, shake it, please don't lose it
I want the people to know
That he saved my soul
But I still like to listen to the radio
They say rock and roll is wrong
We'll give you one more chance
I say I feel so good I'm gonna get up and dance
I know what's right, I know what's wrong
I don't confuse it
All I'm really trying to say is
Why should the devil have all the good music
There's nothing wrong with what I play
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
Say to cut my hair
They're driving me insane
I grew it out long to make room for my brain
Sometimes people don't understand
They say what's a good boy playing in a rock and roll band
There's nothing wrong with blues licks
All I'm really trying to say is
Why should the devil have all the good music
Nothing wrong, I feel good ???
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
Allright
I ain't knocking the hymns
Just give me a song that has a beat
I ain't knocking the hymns
Just give me something that moves my feet
I don't like some of those funeral marches
I ain't dead yet
Woo
Jesus told the truth
Jesus showed the way
There's one more thing I'd like to say
They nailed him to the cross
And they laid him in the ground
But they shoulda known you can't keep a good man down
I feel good
All I'm really trying to say is
Why should the devil have anything
I said Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Jesus is the rock and he'll roll your blues
Jesus is the rock and he rolled our blues away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Well come on pretty baby want a-moving and a-grooving
Shake it baby, shake it, please don't lose it
I want the people to know
That he saved my soul
But I still like to listen to the radio

Oh mama killed a chicken, she thought it was a duck
She put it on the table with its legs sticking up
And papa broke his glasses when he fell down drunk
He tried to drown the kitty cat, turned out to be a skunk
You gotta watch what you're doing
Yeah
You gotta watch where you're going
I knew a girl, she was sweet as could be
But she fell for men just like a chain sawed tree
She listened to their lies, she was fooled by their charm
Now she's sitting with a baby in her arm
You gotta watch what you're doing
You know that
You gotta, you gotta watch out
Watch out
Watch out
[Mimics guitar solo]
Everything's fine till things get bad
Then you sit around thinking 'bout the good times you had
It ain't no good to lead a life of sin
If you don't shape up you know you'll never get in
You gotta watch what you're doing 'cause he does
That's right, it's true
He loves you, he loves you
And he watches you 'cause he loves you
Aah
Some folks smile
I said some folks smile
Some folks, some folks smile
You think they're nice when some folks smile, they seem alright
And then later you find out they're like demons in the night
Try to love everybody but don't be blind
'Cause some kind of people try to mess up your mind
Gotta watch out
Don't be fooled
Watch out
Yeah yeah yeah
Some folks say that God is dead
That he doesn't exist except inside your head
I wonder how many are gonna be surprised
When they look straight up and see him coming through the sky
Do you know where you're going
Oh yeah yeah
Gotta watch what you're doing
Yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ah-ah
Watch out
There's someone after you
He's a liar they call the devil
He wants to lock you up in his zoo
He's got a nice little cage picked out just for you
I'll bet it fits real nice too
Watch out
Don't get caught, don't be fooled, don't get caught, don't be fooled, don't get caught, don't be fooled, don't get caught, ah don't
Aw ah yeah yeah [Very faintly]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh Jesus take me to the river
Put me down, shake me up, help me to the cross
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Gotta watch what you're doing
I was walking down the road
And I bumped into you
I saw you all alone in between the thieves
And when the lightning flashed I saw somebody hanging from a tree
And as I turned to walk away I realized it was me
Why, why, why
Watch what you're doing
You gotta watch what you're doing
Yeah
Wo-ooh
Yeah
Ah yeah
For God's sake look out
Oh mama killed a chicken, she thought it was a duck
She put it on the table with its legs sticking up
And papa broke his glasses when he fell down drunk
He tried to drown the kitty cat, turned out to be a skunk
You gotta watch what you're doing

comedy #1
So I, I'm just, I'm going to ah eh New York in a couple days, when I finish here an' eh you know. Hey that Riverdance is really popular over there. You know I saw it but I didn't go to the theatre, I saw it, just saw it on TV and, it, it, it seems like those Irish people were in a terrible accident. And they can't move their bodies except for their, their knees down. But eh every once in a while they move their head, to see if they're still in step with the others [Spoken]
Aa [Most of the "Aah" at the start of Be Careful Wha'cha Sign is on this track due to the cross fading and track split point]

I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
Mmm you stopped me, you touched me, you looked me in the eye
I had the feeling that you knew me, I decided you must die
I pulled out my Thornton special, I shot you in the head
I threw you in the alley way and I left you for dead
Then a man with a hat, he came up from behind
The sky went black and I thought I was blind
He put his hand into my jacket, he left a million dollar bill
And put his hand into my pocket, and left women and thrills
When I turned around to thank him there was no one there but me
Both my hands were filled with sand, I was standing by the sea
Yeah
I had dinner at eight, a-women at nine
The party was great till we ran out of wine
There was a knock upon the bedroom door, my knees began to shake
And this man came in and melted all the candles on my cake
He said I've come here to escort you, it's time for you to go
And then he opened up my body, he took away my soul
I was running down the road
I was trying to leave
Then I saw you all alone in between the thieves
And when the lightning flashed I saw somebody hanging from a tree
And as I turned to walk away I realized it was me
I pulled out my Thornton special, I shot me in the head
I threw me in the alleyway, I left me for dead
I was just going down the road
Just like you
I was just walking down that road
Down that road
Down that road [Very faintly]
I was just walking down the road
Ah [Most of the "Aah" is on the end of the previous track due to the cross fading and track split point]

i wish we'd all been ready
[Go to Song Page]
Life was filled with guns and war
Everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind (Ooh ooh)
The son has come and you've been left behind (Ooh ooh ooh)
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears, one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind (Ooh ooh)
The son has come and you've been left behind (Ooh ooh ooh)
Yeah you've been left behind
Life is filled with bombs and guns
Heaven help the little ones who die
I hope you'll all been ready (I wish we'd all been ready)
People, gold, oil, guns, war, AIDS, death
I hope you'll all be ready
Hope you'll all be ready (all be ready)
There won't be time to change your mind (Ooh ooh)
And no excuse for being blind (Ooh ooh)
The clouds will open up, Jesus will come down (Ooh ooh)
Those who believe will go home (Ooh ooh ooh)
Those who don't believe will be left behind
Don't get left behind
Don't get left behind
Don't get left behind
Life was filled with guns and war
Everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

You, you're, you're Irish, you know what it's like to take a drink and then forget. You know, that Riverdance thing I keep thinking of that you know it.

rock that doesn't roll
[Go to Song Page]
I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
And he led me to his kingdom
Which was in another land
You know my life has changed, it's rearranged
When I think of my past I feel so strange
Wowie zowie that cat's got soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's the rock (that doesn't roll) does not roll
(He's) the rock that doesn't roll
He's good for the body, he's great for the soul (Ooh ooh)
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
Yes I was on that road so far from home
When the future touched my past
You know my mind is grown, my head has blown
Solid rock ain't a rolling stone
I wanna be like him, that's my goal
The rock that doesn't roll
Well he's the rock that doesn't roll

funeral procession
[Go to Song Page]
You gotta go through changes
If you want to grow
You've gotta learn some lessons
You don't want to know
You're gonna end up places
Where you never been
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
There's a slow procession
On a lonely road
People start to cry
They've come to say goodbye
And friends help carry the load
But if you open your arms
And take it all in
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
You can run for the shelter
And hide in the shadows
When the sky is falling on you
Or you can open your heart
To the pain and the sorrow
'Til the storm is finally through
[Coughs]
It takes a lot of courage
To live this life
When the troubles come calling
And the tears start falling
It just cuts you like a knife
You've gotta stand your ground
When your world caves in
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again

outlaw
[Go to Song Page]
This is a song about best friend you'll ever have [Spoken]
Some say he was an outlaw
That he roamed across the land
With a band of unschooled ruffians
And a few young fishermen
No one knew just where he came from
Or exactly what he'd done
But they said it must be something bad
That keeps him on the run
Some say he was a poet
That he'd stand upon the hill
And his words could calm an angry crowd
Or make the waves stand still
And he spoke in many parables
That few could understand
But the people sat for hours
Just to listen to this man
Some say he was a sorcerer
A man of mystery
He could walk upon the water
He could make a blind man see
And he conjured wine at weddings
And did tricks with fish and bread
He spoke of being born again
He raised people from the dead
Some say he was a radical
He spoke of being free
He was followed by the masses
On the shores of Galilee
He spoke out against corruption
And he bowed to no decree
They feared his strength and power
So they nailed him to a tree
Some say he was the son of God
A man above all men
But he came to be a servant
And to set us free from sin
And that's who I believe he is
'Cause that's who I believe
I think we should get ready
When it's time for us to leave
And I think we should get ready
'Cause it's almost time to leave
Oh wo oh oh said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
An' they said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
Thank you, thanks

near
[Go to Song Page]
When you are lost
When you are sad
You must remember all the love we had
Try not to hurt
Try not to cry
Keep your head up and look into the sky
Oh don't wonder why, for I am near
Please say a prayer
When you think of me
And I'll be there even if you can't see
I love your heart
With all of mine
Yours is the love that I could never find
Because I was so blind, but I am near
I feel so far from where I know that I should be
Oh will I ever find my way
I’ve climbed the mountain and as far as I can see
This is the way that things will stay
Don't be sad
And don't despair
God knows your every thought and he is there
He is your house
He is your place
I feel his love when I recall your face
Or I look into space, for he is near
For he is near
For he is near
When you are lost
When you are sad
You must remember all the love we had
Try not to hurt
Try not to cry
Keep your head up and look into the sky
Oh don't wonder why, for I am near
Please say a prayer

He is your house
He is your place
I feel his love when I recall your face
Or I look into space, for he is near
For he is near
For he is near
romanian orphan
[Go to Song Page]
Down through the fields
Across the river
Up to the door of the house
Where the children live
The light reveals
The lamp light shivers
That stand before
As you reach out your hand to give
The empty faces full of questioning
Your workless fingers full of gesturing
What language can you share
The one of love and care
That's all that's needed there
You smile dismayed
Your gaze returned
By hopeful eyes
And timid looks, lips moving silently
The past replayed
The houses burned
With no disguise
Betrayal shook each child so violently
You move your fingers slowly at your side
You tell yourself you got no guilt to hide
You look down at the floor
Your back against the door
Then look at them once more
The cold night air
Starts creeping in
You start to speak
Your coat feels warm, with your pockets full
Their legs are bare
Their arms are thin
Their hands are weak
So close to harm that your senses crawl
You hold your breath then you let it out
You've got so much you can live without
They stand here watching you
The time for words is through
'Cause you know what to do
Down through the fields
Across the river
Up to the door of the house
Where the children live
The light reveals
The lamp light shivers
That stand before
As you reach out your hand to give
The empty faces full of questioning
Your workless fingers full of gesturing
What language can you share

great american novel
[Go to Song Page]
I was born and raised an orphan
In a land that once was free
In a land that poured its love out on the moon
And I grew up in the shadows
Of your silos filled with grain
But you never helped to fill my empty spoon
And when I was ten you murdered law
With courtroom politics
And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth
But I know you better now
And I don't fall for all your tricks
And you've lost the one advantage of my youth
You kill a black man at midnight
Just for talking to your daughter
You make his wife your mistress
And you leave her without water
And the sheet you wear upon your face
Is the sheet your children sleep on
At every meal you say a prayer
You don't believe but still you keep on
And your money says in God we trust
But it's against the law to pray in school
You say we beat the Russians to the moon
And I say you starved your children to do it
You were far across the ocean
And the war was not your own
While you were winning theirs
You almost lost the war at home
Did you really think the only way
To bring about true peace
Was to sacrifice your young men
To kill all your enemies
Your politicians all make speeches
While your news men all take notes
And they exaggerate false issues
As they shove them down our throats
Is it really up to men
Whether our nations sink or float
Well I wonder who would lead us
If none of us would vote
My phone is tapped, my lips are chapped
From whispering through the fence
You know every move I make
Or is that just coincidence
Will you try to make my way of life
A little less like jail
If I promise to make tapes and slides
And send them through the mail
And your money says in God we trust
But it's against the law to pray in school
You say we beat the Russians to the moon
I say you starved your children to do it
You say all men are equal, all men are brothers
Then why are the rich more equal than others
Don't ask me for the answers, I've only found one
That a man leaves his darkness when he follows the son
I was born and raised an orphan
In a land that once was free
In a land that poured its love out on the moon
And I grew up in the shadows

what a day
[Go to Song Page]
Well I'm feeling so bad in the middle of love
And it's easy to see that it isn't quite me that you're thinking of
Must be somebody else huh, but I'm wondering who
I can't seem to recall anybody at all who's in love with you
Every night you'll hear me say what a day
Well I saw you last week, you went out on the sly
You walked into some church, I suspected the worst, bet you met some guy
Well I waited outside, but you came out alone
With a satisfied look and a little black book, then you went straight home
Every night you'll hear me say what a day
Oh yeah
I got something I wanna say to you baby
And this is what it is
So listen [Guitar solo]
Aaah
Ah ah ah [x2]
Well this morning at ten, you invited me in
As you poured me some coffee you told me straight off that you found a friend
Well I wasn't surprised, no I wasn't surprised
'Cause you look so content baby, I see a different look in your eyes
Every night
You used to treat me right
You'll hear me say
Now you're pushing me away
What a day, what a day
Every night
You'll hear me say
What a day
Well I'm feeling so bad in the middle of love

love song to god
[Go to Song Page]
Does anybody know what love is
Does anybody know
Does anybody know what love is
I thought once or twice I'd found it
It just up and disappeared before I had the chance to put my arms around it
I'd see couples walking down the street
Holding hands and looking free
People talk about lasting love but it just never happened to me
But then one day I met you, you broke my chains apart
You showed me love's true freedom
And laid your soul in the center of my heart
When I'm sad you help me see the light
When I'm confused I just talk to you
No matter what kind of trouble I'm in, you always seem to know what I should do
I'm a walking contradiction
You're the keeper of the key
You're the road that leads to Fehrion and that's all that matters to me
I only want to serve you
Oh but where do I start
My love is just a reflection of your soul in the centre of my heart
I’ve travelled so far
I turn around, there you are
And when I feel like I'm lost in the dark
You lift me up and you show me the start ah
Throw me into your prison of love
Hold me over without bail
I wanna give myself up without a fight but I'm so afraid I'm gonna fail
You let me know that I worry too much, this is not what love's about
I feel forgiven by your sunsets, your rain washes away my doubt
Nothing can ever stop this
Death won't tear us apart
All I'm really trying to say is you're the soul in the center of my heart
Does anybody know what love is
Does anybody know
Does anybody know what love is
I thought once or twice I'd found it
It just up and disappeared before I had the chance to put my arms around it
