in the Garden of Eden baby there was a man and a woman born of dust and a touch made for love and lust even in paradise it gets lonely in the garden in the garden a serpent one day said to Eve and Adam eat the fruit, yeah why not? learn the truth, become as God even in paradise it gets boring in the garden in the garden but leaving baby there was a man and a woman but now they're lost, now they're cursed to live in pain and toil the earth even in paradise God gets angry in the garden but don't get heavy we've got each other baby don't get heavy today

Lost Love 03:12
oh lost love i'll add your letters to the pile stars burn cold fire sends the ashes high and when they're gone I hope you'll be gone memory guardian and treasury of all things hurry up and take your leave and when you're gone I hope she'll be gone she's the only one I know guess I must be having fun oh my baby
3.
I got on the wrong bus again and it took me to your house it must be a subconscious thing I never get out I go walking and listen to my walkman you know it's hard man when your heart is broken my traitor feet always take me to your street my downcast eyes always act surprised
4.
The Claddagh 05:29
on the way back to a party at your house I got lost down by The Claddagh in the winding, meandering roads I wrote your number on the back of my hand but it was raining, I couldn't read it I stumbled blindly in the moonlight only to fall by the water and I lay down on the concrete where I fell by the water, by the river I was young then and I remember it well I lost her
5.
I got drunk on the fumes off your breath as you slept and I thought about tonight's scene well it seems you're always to the right or to the left never a golden mean but you're as dark as wine and you're champagne bright but you're nothing in between girl no you're nothing in between you arose in a haze, free from memories just a sense of regret and then you turn to me for your remedies sex and cigarettes you're as dark as wine and you're champagne bright but you're nothing in between girl no you're nothing in between and just like drinking, you leave me twisted the taste of your wine and your champagne but the hangover, it ain't so good it's a pain and I could say the sun shines on you but the sun shines on everything and when it rains it only ever rains on you girl you should come with a warning you're as dark as wine and you're champagne bright but you're nothing in between girl no you're nothing in between no you're nothing in between my girl no you're nothing in between and I said ooh, ooh, ooh.

I've had my heart broken, I've broken one I've been cheated on I've cheated on more than one occasion but these days guilt don't weigh that much the guilt comes when you're caught and these days nothing weighs that much I don't know if it's the truth, you know boys can be so cruel I've been beaten up, I've worn make up the things you do for love I've broken up over break ups but I have woken up and now there's only selfish love something inside is lost and now there's only selfish love I don't know if it's the truth, you know boys can be so cruel but this love right here, this love is pure and I know this for sure you're further from a heart breaker then the sun from the shore and I'm sorry for all my lies, I apologised I'm sorry for all my lies I don't know if it's the truth, you know boys can be so cruel

Oh My Love 04:02
oh my love let me know when you're down when you're home oh my love

about

Released in December 2016, New Pope's second album was named The Irish Times Album of The Week.

"The seven tracks that comprise the release coalesce to re-affirm, once again, that Boland is not merely one of our favourite Irish songsmiths at the minute, but quite clearly one of the very best – the most astute and consistently captivating – singer-songwriters around. This is beautiful, vital stuff." (The Thin Air, LOVE, 2017)
