GIVE IT AWAY
First released 2001
Give It Away was previewed on the band's Autumn 2000 theatre tour and released on Pleased To Meet You. Tim's main chorus line is "give it away, give it away" The lyrics appear to be a plea to the parties in the Northern Ireland conflict to put their differences behind them and make peace. There were several different versions of this with different lengths on early promos of the album.

LYRICS
No more
You choose to sue for peace
Where once for war
The mind ingrained can't hear the call
You have so many friends
Cheering you along
Don't turn a deaf ear to their song
As the world is turning
You're holding on
Give it away
Give it away
Holding on to your right and wrong won't serve you
We keep on fighting
To maintain our father's place
This time line never finds an end in revenge
Here comes an open heart
To blow it all away
As the world is burning
You're holding on
Give it away
Give it away
Holding on to your right and wrong won't serve you
As your world is turning
You're holding on
Give it away
Give it away
Holding on to your right and wrong won't serve you
As the world is turning
You're holding on
Give it away
Give it away
Holding on to right and wrong won't serve you
As the world is turning
You're holding on
Just give it away
Give it away
Holding on to right and wrong won't serve you
As the world is turning
You're holding on
Just give it away
Give it away
Holding on to right and wrong won't serve you
Won't serve you
