It takes two to get together
It takes time to make it last,
sure we'll all end up in someways like the drink in last nights glass
But we take this chance toghether
lets not think about the end
never mind the strangers
cause i'll always be your friend
untill the end

We've crossed the seas toghether
We've had our ups and downs
we've gone further than we've ever dreamed from our county Galway town
but if we're up on top tomorrow
or if it all just ends
never mind the strangers
cause i'll always be your friend
untill the end

It hasnt all been easy-
but sure thats the way it goes
been shaken, rocked and rattled, taken jabs and body blows
but there's a strength in being together,
like a steel bar that won't bend
never mind the strangers
cause i'll always be your friend
untill the end

Even now it's hard to think back-
when did it all begin
was it one night drinnkin in gay browne's bar
every soul is welcomed in
on this fine summer's evenin
on the blue-off nine to ten
never mind the strangers
cause i'll always be your friend
untill the end

We've seen the other side of life,
not been too impressed
doesn't beat a day at home if you put it to the test
but at least we took the challenge,
we didn't just pretend
never mind the strangers
cause i'll always be your friend
untill the end

Peter Canavan, 2003-
"I don't want to be a great captain, i want to be the captain of a great team. I've had my day of doing everything and i've done it for as long as i can. It has to change. I'll be doing my best but don't expect me to carry you again; it's up to you to make this work.

Epic speech from Braveheart :

William Wallace: And if this is your army, why does it go?
Soldier: We didn't come here to fight for them.
Second Soldier: Home, the English are too many!
William Wallace: Sons of Scotland! I am William Wallace.
Second Soldier: William Wallace is seven feet tall!
William Wallace: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.
William Wallace: I AM William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my country men, here, in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?
Soldier: Against that? No, we'll run, and we'll live.
William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least for a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
