All tracks written by Friday/Seezer and performed by the Friday/Seezer Ensemble, except Time Enough For Tears which is Bono/Friday/Seezer, sung by Andrea Corr.
Gavin Friday, Maurice Seezer and Bono have written a song called “Time Enough for Tears” for the upcoming Jim Sheridan film “In America”. It will be sung by Andrea Corr.
Says Friday: “Bono saw the film and was blown away by it. He wanted to work with us and something happened, organically.”
The song has 40′s Cole Porter, Ella Fitzgerald feel to it and is likely to surprise anyone who expects something along the line of the previous collaboraton, “In the Name of the Father“.
Friday: “It’s written from a girl’s perspective. It’s very poetic, very romantic. It’s got that “You take away the sun” beauty and nakedness. It’s a beautiful song.”
Friday and Seezer have recently completed work on the score for “In America”. They previously collaborated with Sheridan on “In the Name of the Father” and “The Boxer”. “In America” is scheduled to premiere next year, April/May at the earliest.
Previous Bono/Friday/Seezer collaborations include their work on “In the name of the Father” and their cover of T-Rex’s “Children of the Revolution” for Baz Luhrman’s “Moulin Rouge”.
Gavin Friday, Maurice Seezer and drummer / programmer Andrew Philpot are currently working on the soundtrack for Jim Sheridan’s upcoming film ‘The Boxer’, starring Daniel Day Lewis and Emily Watson (Breaking the Waves). The film is set in the present time, deals with boxing, a love triangle and the peace talks in Northern Ireland. The soundtrack is expected to be released some time between January and March 1998.
Gavin Friday and Maurice Seezer wrote the song “Until I’m In You” and scored “Blue & Green (Can Never Be Seen)” for the soundtrack of the movie Angel Baby (starring John Lynch and Jacqueline McKenzie) by Australian director Michael Rymer.
Angel Baby tells the story of two people with schizophrenia, Harry and Kate. They meet during therapy and fall in love. When Kate gets pregnant the couple decide to go off their medication.
In the name of the father
Come to me
Come lie beside me
Oh don’t deny me
Your love
Make sense of me
Walk through my doorway
Don’t hide in the hallway
Oh love…step over
I’ll follow you down
I’ll follow you down
In the name of whiskey
In the name of song
You didn’t look back
You didn’t belong
In the name of reason
In the name of hope
In the name of religion
In the name of dope
In the name of freedom
You drifted away
To see the sun shining
On someone else’s day
In the name of United and the BBC
In the name of Georgie Best and LSD
In the name of a father
And his wife the spirit
You said you did not
They said you did it
In the name of justice
In the name of fun
In the name of the father
In the name of the son
Call to me
No one is listening
I’m waiting to hear from you love
Stay with me
It’s cold in the ground
But there’s peace in the sound
Of the white and the black
Spilling over
I’ll follow you down
You made me the thief of your heart
I hope you’re happy now…
…I could never make you so…
you were a hard man…
no harder in this world
you made me cold and you made me hard
and you made me the thief of your heart
Winter is cold…oh!
But you’re colder still
and for the first time
I feel like you’re mine
I share you with the one who will
mend what falls apart
and turn a blind eye
to the thief of your heart
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost all
you lost all
you lost all
I’ll never wash these clothes
I want to keep the stain
Your blood to me is precious
nor would I spill it in vain
your spirit sings
though your lips never part
singing only to me
the thief of your heart
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost all
lost all
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost all
lost all

You made me the thief of your heart (12″ remix, stained mix)
I hope you’re happy now…
I could never make you so…
You were a hard man…
No harder in this world
You made me cold and you made me hard
And you made me the thief of your heart
Winter is cold…oh!
But you’re colder still
And for the first time
I feel like you’re mine
I share you with the one who will
Meant what falls apart
And turn a blind eye
To the thief of your heart
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost all
You lost all
Ohhh you lost
you lost all
You lost all
I’ll never wash these clothes
I want to keep the stain
Your blood to me is precious
Nor would I spill it in vain
Your spirit sings
Though your lips never part
Singing only to me
The thief of your heart
From the point of lies
Within the mind of God
Let light stream forewards
Within the minds of man
Let light descend on earth
From the point of love
Within the hearts of God
Let love stream forewards
Into the hearts of man
May the Christ return to earth
From the center
Where the will of God is now
Let the purpose guide the little wills of man
Purpose wich the masters now unserve
From the center wich we call the race of man
Let the plan of love and light work out
And may is seal the door where evil dwells
Let love and light and power
Restore the planet earth
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost all
you lost all
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost all
you lost all
I hope you’re happy now…
I could never make you so…
You were a hard man…
No harder in this world
You made me cold and you made me hard
And you made me the thief of your heart
Winter is cold…oh!
But you’re colder still
And for the first time
I feel like you’re mine
I share you with the one who will
Meant what falls apart
And turn a blind eye
To the thief of your heart
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost all
You lost all
Ohhh you lost
you lost all
You lost all
I’ll never wash these clothes
I want to keep the stain
Your blood to me is precious
Nor would I spill it in vain
Your spirit sings
Though your lips never part
Singing only to me
The thief of your heart
From the point of lies
