The voice of reason is out of tune,
With what you want and what you feel you must do.
Hang onto your high hopes,
Though your heart is heavy now,
You know you owe it to yourself,
And I know it will work out.
You are the seagull, who insists,
Hey, we can have a room with a view,
If we've got to live here,
Out on these windswept cliffs.
Fortune favours the brave,
Hop between the drops,
You know I've had to leave a lot behind,
To be happy with what I've got.
If you're under pressure,
Well, it hardly shows,
You've got a smile for every occasion,
And everybody knows,
You are the seagull, who insists,
Hey, we can have a room with a view,
If we've got to live here,
Out on these windswept cliffs.
You are the bluebell,
Who can and will,
Bring something beautiful,
To all our barren hills,
Don't forget what you are, for anyone.
You are the seagull and I insist,
You'll have a room with a view,
If you've got to live here,
Out on these windswept cliffs.
Richard McGraw is an excellent live performer and intricate lyricist in the vein of Cohen, Dylan and Cave before him. Here, he offers an album of stunning covers and one damn good original too. Niall Connolly
