There’s something that I’ve been meaning to say, the first time I saw you well I was amazed, but I couldn’t let on I couldn’t come clean. Cause I was the one Born Stubborn. Born Stubborn  And I wished to God that I had stayed as you walked back, did you scream my name? But I couldn’t return to uncertainty of love cause I was the one Born Stubborn,  Born Stubborn.  And some day you’ll find your hand in mine some day you’ll see I won’t be so far away, I won’t be so far away  Bap ba dah da da .It’s funny how things that go unsaid become the one thing you can’t forget, but I know that I well I never will change cause I was the one Born Stubborn. Born Stubborn. And some day you’ll find your hand in mine, some day you’ll see I won’t be so far away, I won’t be so far away .Bap Ba dah da da Born Stubborn.  What keeps you pulling, on my mind! Born Stubborn

It was ten to ten in the evening light the sun was coming down. The air was warm and the light was dim, the night was peeping out . And Sally stood with a belly Full o’ wine and her head It took a spin. She put her hands in her tired head maybe the gods would take her in? You better cotton on girl . Won’t be long ,the weight of your walk, it won’t carry you along. Carry you along, it won’t. She grew up in a lonely house her daddy was always gone, on whisky & wine he wasn’t the loving kind wished he’d had a son. On that summers night she had lived her life a thousand times in her head Sorry for the love that never was. Got to thinking she'd. be better of dead . You better cotton on girl. Won’t be long ,weight of your walk, it won’t carry you along . Cotton on girl …We’ve all got some thing to hide . If it’s for you it won’t pass you by. We’ve all got something to hide it’s for you it won’t pass you by, It won’t Pass you by. It won’t, pass you by… Cotton on.

New St South 02:40
The tide is nearly high ,the sun is with the moon, Winter knows that spring is here but your still playing fool. I've had about enough of listening to your talk . Right or wrong we got to take a chance one life's not enough. Gonna let you go my love ,let you find your way, let you go my love ,till you find your way back to me. Jump in your car tonight ,cause ill always walk a mile . Right or wrong we gotta take a chance or our love be denied. Gonna let you go my love ,let you find your way, let you go my love ,till you find your way back to me. Theres a street sign with your name on it . This road's not too long . Its one way two way & stop up ahead .So keep on moving on. Gonna let you go my love ,let you find your way,let you go my love ,till you find your way back to me.

Warrior 03:54
I’ve been told the good Lord waits for no man. If he wants your soul it’s his for the taking so don’t be alarmed at what I might say, don’t be alarmed. I’ve been told if your looking for love that it will come when you don’t need it most.  I know where it is, it’s just out of reach. I know where it is. You want me to fight for your heart? You want me to fight for your love? Well I never was a warrior; well I never was a warrior. I can’t believe love that it lost can turn to hate & oh what a cost. I wont believe you don’t need my love, I wont believe. You want me to fight, for your heart? You want me to fight, for your love? Well I never was a warrior. Well I never was a warrior. Was I ever a contender for your heart? Did I ever have a stake your life? Oh no no & she’s standing in my place Oh no no no & I wont be the one . You want me to fight, for your heart? You want me to fight, for your love well I never was a warrior, well I never was a warrior, warrior oh no no!

Pocket Moon 02:59
Sometimes love it don’t come your way & it might feel like others have got it made, but it’s the devils demons working overtime. Greener grass will always blind your mind. Cause you,ve got time to give love hold your heart its precious enough. You’ve got time to give love hold your heart its precious enough Sometimes love all you get is hurt. Sunken eyes you still cant get enough Stop your crying twisting in the night don’t need no drunken head lying by your side. Cause you’ve got time to give live hold your heart its precious enough, you’ve got time to give love hold your heart its precious enough You’ve got time, you’ve got time & a pocket moon is always in disguise. You’ve got a pocket moon. You’ve got a pocket moon. You’ve got a pocket moon.

Time 03:59
Don’t you understand you know you’re not the only man who’s ran from all the good things in this life always tryin a find another side. Don’t you understand? It was you I loved in that other man, my heart grew tired me eyes were sore, there’s no grace in living a constant war. See time did something strange to me. I wished all away cause it wouldn’t let me. I wished it all away cause it wouldn’t let me be You know there’s no longer any shame to say I’ve only wasted my days In waste there’s always a precious find, in steal or stone or the strengthen of the mind . See time did something strange to me I wished it all away, cause it wouldn’t let me be . I wished it all away cause, it wouldn’t let me be. . See time did something strange to me . I wished it all away, cause it wouldn’t let me be. I wished it all away cause it wouldn’t let me be Let me be. Let me be . Let me be.

If you’re looking to find if times on your side If the world & its ways has you breathing in pain. Theres one place I know, where your feelings can flow flow. Take a trip to the sea & you’ll grow wings of steal cause there’s no place I know where your feelings can flow flow. If your no longer willing try, to feel the love in another’s arms .if no words you hear in any way don’t ease your fear,. There’s one place I know, where your feelings can flow flow. Take a trip to the sea & you’ll grow wings of steal. Take a trip to the sea & you’ll grow wings of steel steel. Take a trip to the sea & you’ll grow wings of steal Take a trip to the sea & you’ll grow wings of steal. Say A prayer for you there & keep you as you are.

Well you might think that I was wrong In choosing to stay long gone But you took my heart to night And your arrow shattered it high Some wounds they just don’t don’t heal And time won’t make things at ease It’s one more day gone by I still haven’t Heard your voice People don’t know the part that I played Mine was a lead role Just change my lines Choose a different way So I hear your missing me now And im sure we’ll meet again But don’t think that I wont pretend that ive lost my friend People don’t know that part that I played Mine was a lead role Just change my lines Choose o different way And I've had love and it lashed the living out of me And I've seen love and it lashed the living out of me Living out of me Lashed the living out of me People don’t know the part that I played Mine was a lead role Just change my lines Choose a different way Choose a different way.

Union 05:04
As sure as the river will meet the stream, there’ll be no reflecting on the bad times. And you’ll find your rainbow of dreams, they’ll be right there in front of you after the storm. Cause inside I’ve heard our child cry & he’s gasping for this new light & the winter nights will keep our love alight don’t need no summer sun to keep our love warm. . And if there’s one thing that’s meant to be it’s the union of you & me And if there’s one thing that’s meant to be it’s the union of you & me. To the outside world we’ll be unknown & we’ll have no fear of going it alone, cause inside I’ve borrowed something blue and I've turned it in to a light that’s new so the remedy we need will be in us two. And if there’s one thing that’s meant to be it’s the union of you & me. And if there’s one thing that’s meant to be it’s the union of you & me No I wont let it, no I wont let it go If there’s one thing that’s meant to be, it’s the union of you & me if there’s one things that’s for sure we’ll drop our anchor & we’ll find our shore, oh we’ll find our shore we’ll find our shore … We’ll find our shore .

Lullaby 04:19
There’s a lullaby in your sigh, and a sweet taste in your teary eye, there’s a burning glow In your kiss and a Midas touch in your fingertips, Cause you embrace the world with open loving arms you turn it all into a beautiful charm, Oh you.. don’t know lucky I am to have you, don’t know how lucky I am. And don’t you ever fear love is always here, I will warm your heart  when growing sets us apart. You put the rest in my wakefulness you make me strong when I feel I don’t belong. Cause you embrace the world with open loving arms you turn it all into a beautiful charm Oh you, don’t know lucky I am to have you ,don’t know how lucky I am Where did you come from? My cherub child, the angels must surely have died the day that you arrived you ooohhh . And one day you will leave my side, my heart will ache and i’ll hesitate but you will never know I will smile & let you go. It’s all a part of helping you grow Cause you’ll embrace the world with open loving arms, you’ll turn it all into a beautiful charm, oh you, don’t know how lucky I am. To have you don’t know how lucky I am. Where did you come from? My cherub child, the angels must surely have died the day that you arrived, How lucky, how lucky I am to have you.

about

Alice Jago Dublin, Ireland

‘ banjo,handclaps and communal choruses.Both feel like they were written 200 years ago,and may well be written again 200 years from now.Jago also seems to have an instinct for just the right modulation required to lift a song out of merit into distinction.She does waltzes,she does shuffles,she does winsome and wistful and exasperated and lovelorn,often within the same verse.
