Found these. Looks like anything can be found on the web. Seems like you have waited some time to get these. Nobody else have them?

CLARE ISLAND
Davey Carton, Leo Moran (members of Saw Doctors)

CHORUS: Will you meet me on Clare Island?
Summer stars are in the sky.
We'll get the ferry out from Roonagh
And wave all our cares goodbye.

We'll go dancing at the céilí.
We'll go kissing on the strand,
Take our clothes off in the moonlight,
Skinny-dippin' hand in hand.

We'll start drinkin' in the twilight,
Keep it up until the dawn,
In both the bars because there's no guards
To take our names and send us home. CHORUS

Gettin' weary of the city,
Seems so many things have changed.
Let's head off for Nora Daly's home.
Where she walked it never rained. CHORUS

And if there's wild and tall white horses,
And the swell rolls in the bay,
I won't care if the boat can't sail.
We'll get home some other day. CHORUS
