Even though I thought real hard
I’m stuck before I start
My poor brain’s let me down again
It’s past its sell by date
Though I eat my fish and sleep my sleep
And I drink my Irish brew
Chorus:
Eloquence would give me power
Emptiness is mine to fill
Too weak, but my ego won’t let me
And so I let it go
And so I let my Ego
And so I let my Ego go
And so my Ego-es
Alter ego sacrifice
Stabbing on a deadly slice
Kick around your mind until it blows
Repeat Chorus
And so my Ego-es

Me and my bud Hynesie (Martin Hynes) wrote the lyrics to this one on the coach on our way to a (Manchester) United game. We spent many hours on those f*ck*n coaches! For me, going to footie was great fun but also an escape from my working life at the time.
This was the first song we wrote together. We took turns writing a line each, following each others previous line as we went. The words went nicely with a tune I had on the books and viola! 'Egoes' as it came to be known. "Even though I thought real hard" and it's a lot better than it used to be, I'm still continually aiming to live up to the sentiment of this tune and let my ego stay gone! (Hynesie was doing it pretty well last time I saw him)
But you probably always need a bit of ego to stand up and play in front of people?? Well that's my excuse anyway!
