Easy Way Out 04:58
Easy Way Out You’ve got champagne taste and beer pockets my friend You’ve got time to take but no time to give again He pulled his guns but I pulled mine first again He got off a drunken shot but the sun was in his eyes And I shot him right there and sealed his demise Well you know you can take the easy way out But just stay away from me ‘Cause I really don’t need this now They say a man who is scared is a man to be feared Don’t you close your eyes don’t you block those ears again For the thief in you will disagree You can go your way there ain’t nothing to see again Well you know you can take the easy way out But just stay away from me ‘Cause I really don’t need this now I’ll steal you a horse we can ride out west Where the sand blows warm you can take a clean breath But reality sets in and I got shot through the chest By a Shaolin Buddha Indian priest So there I am bleeding out And that damn priest starts reading our vows So I grabbed my pistol and I shot him in the eye He died with no sight and I died with a smile Well you know you can take the easy way out But you just stay away from me ‘Cause I really don’t need this now Well you know you can take the easy way out But just stay away from me ‘Cause I really don’t need this now

Luca 04:04
LUCA Oh growin’ inside I’ve seen you move And I felt you move Growing inside Your hands are sore from fightin’ My hands are bleeding Your body’s giving up But my heart is beating My head a locked room My mind’s the Warden I put my voice up tall against the grain Screaming let me out Can you hear me now Come here to me now For crying out loud

Antrim Blues 05:03
Antrim Blues I got those Antrim Blues They wont go away I got those Antrim Blues They wont go away Rise up this morning baby Sharing my woman myself And I believe that she broke my mental health I wish I could say I’m leavin’ But I cannot fight the tide Or I’d run away screaming Well I hope you’re satisfied The way you look now love Ultimate attraction Don’t you lose yourself now It’s just a chemical reaction Wish I could say I’m leavin’ But I cannot fight the tide Or I’d run away screaming Well I hope you’re satisfied I got those Antrim Blues They wont go away I got those Antrim Blues They wont go away

Hell For You 05:54
Hell For You We’re the outsiders babe and we’re looking in You don’t know what I’ve done you don’t know what I’ve seen My name’s a Dark Death that you can’t say And that magic man can show you the way There’s a hell for you babe I’ve seen it before I’ve seen through all your lies and I’m feelin’ quite played There’s a hell for you babe We’re the outsiders babe and we’re lookin’ in I’ll stand in your line I’ll put up a front And I’ll smile when you want You’ve played out your story and it’s wearing thin I’m taking the lines and I’m feeling quite played There’s a hell for you babe I’ve seen it before You’ve killed for a profit filled up your pockets Now you’re all gonna pay There’s a hell for you babe

Spain To Italy I would take all that pain from you And place it in the ground I would find all they took from you Would that make you smile So go, go away from me I’ll hang around in the same old town For I have walked from Spain to Italy And found no difference there So hold, hold on tight now love For it’s gonna get a little rough And wait now won’t you wait for this So I can come and share your light So I can come and share your life I have took all that pain from you And placed it in the ground And I have found all they took from you But it’s too late to say goodbye Yes it’s too late to say goodbye

The Rain Came I got my guitar my ball and chain I walk till I bleed but I don’t feel a thing And the rain came pouring down again And the rain came burnin’ like a flame And the rain came and washed it all away And the rain came I walked these streets for twenty odd years And this goddamn insomnia How the hell did I get here And the rain came pouring down again Yeah the rain came and burnin’ like a flame And the rain came and washed it all away And the rain came Picking up the weight old freight trains I got no one left to shout at no one left to blame Then the rain came pouring down again And the rain came and burnin’ like a flame And the rain came and washed it all away And the rain came Some day I’ll find my way back home When this line comes to an end And I’ll have nowhere left to roam But have to start all over again I know what I’ve done I dug my own grave There’s no going back now baby Just another day And the rain came pouring down again And the rain came burnin’ like a flame And the rain came washed it all away And the rain came I got my guitar my ball and chain I walk till I bleed but I can’t feel a thing And the rain came pouring down again And the rain came and burnin’ like a flame And the rain came and washed it all away And the rain came And the rain came And the rain came

Dog Eat Dog 04:28
Dog Eat Dog Take it from me you’ll never take from us again Run your whole life away You’re too young to fade in fade out And left to hold the end of your own leash And howlin’ at the wall diggin’ up the buried bones Dog eat dog Take it from me every dog will have it’s day Fight your whole life away Well I’m too old to punch in punch out Left holdin’ an empty bowl Barkin’ nights diggin’ up the buried bones Dog eat dog

about

Debut album from the 2019 Best Solo/Acoustic artist in the European Blues awards, Dom Martin. Inspired by Doms varied but tough upbringing in Northern Ireland, the title track, Spain to Italy was written for his late father. As a confused teenager, Dom had wanted to trek from Spain to Italy with his guitar, busking along the way and living off tips. Unfortunately due to suddenly having to care for his dying father, he never got to do the trip. Maybe someday.....
