Mc Shannon is a young lonely Londonner, with a comercial boring job that has a special view of the world.Even thought he lives in a huge complex and stressy city, he seems to see life as if everything was clear, obvious and simple.
God Speed
It is dangerous, the big old sea.
So do not think it is a guarantee.
Pull up the anchor and leave the bay,On this side of the Acqua AtlantisOpen sails and cease the day.
If you want to be really freeAnd live in love and harmony.
Free to go and free to stay,Free to wander from June to may.
Do awake and do get upDon’t be just another ocean drop.
Go, go, go! And never stop
Be your own religious bishop.
Darling I am your daring privateerAnd I’ll look in hell for you, my dear.
I will search and I will findthe path from my heart to my mind.
And to overcome my own fear,I’ll drown myself in beer.
If you would be so kindTell me again, do a rewind.
Do awake and do get upDon’t be just another ocean drop.
Go, go, go! And never stop
Be your own religious bishop

The old buildings still rule,
on this side of the sea.
And like a broken tool
they do not work properly.
If we are to become the bestMc ShannonWe need new blood in motion
On valuable things like victory and rest
On this side of the ocean.

Hazard
I am now certain,
that if I look back I will see,
a shadow hanging over me.
Like a dark jacket in the summer,
Is something as weird as pink tea.
That is, but isn’t meant to be.

The search
An eye glance is not enough,
if he wants a vision not a sight.
The student looks upon its future,
and enhance his career he might,
if he is able to see the sun
where all the others see the night.

La vie
It does not matter what you think,
life is what you’ll ever fight for.
Love is a part of life,
so if you want it, you’ll have to fight more.
I love the entire world
and I’ll die fighting, therefore.

Mr. Nobody
I´ll tell you the story of a man
who came to London to stay.
He was short, ugly and single
and usually had nothing to say.
Football and a pint of beer
were enough to make his perfect day.
