Drunken Boat (99% of the words I remembered as Carmen notes).
The Rock on Which my Hopes May Perish (the song about my relationships with Irish Writers and the title some of you may be familiar with from a song of Shane's, from one of his solo records, but the phrase coming from Terry Woods initially: one of those things he says from time to time - like 'Mother pack me bags, I'm off to foreign parts' and so on, very characteristically Terry)
The Strand (sad waltz about loss and seafaring, seagulls and a hat)
The Dog Came in the Bar Room (Low and Sweet Orchestra)
Sausage Moon (the Spanish one with Ay Ay Ay Ay, mi paraiso nada mas for the chorus)
Madrid (or the Captain Swings from the Trees) - another long one about seafaring and revenge.
Bang Bang (I chose to do this one because it's just so eastern european and nothing to do with Kill Bill at all. I'd actually forgotten it was in the film.)
Carmen, are you just invisible at these things? Cause I never see you at all.
I played on later with Dead Rock West, who I can't believe don't have a hundred or more coming to each gig they do, because they're dead good.
