Cover art for running to stand still lyrics by Braddigan

This is the most haunting song i have ever heard. the poetry is just beautiful, and real. I listened most of my life, but when i hear it now, i remember a time a few years ago when i was living in Dublin's northside and myself and a mate were having a smoke on a dark damp night outside our house when this lady runs from out of nowhere, driven demented, obviously from herione. ... I cannot remember much else except that she was running through the street's looking for someone, but going nowhere as she wasn't too aware of how she was. This wasn't the only time. I remember a man screaming out, again for only the one reason. Totally unaware of skangers throwing bottles across the street at him. I have lots to add about this song, it has thousands of meanings for me.
