In 2003 lead singer Barney Murray left the band. Vocal duties were taken over by guitarist Dugs Mulhooly. Untill 2005 they underwent alot of line up changes, leaving Dugs and Chris (drums) as the only original members.

Deathwatch -blood or whiskey (www.bloodorwhiskey.com)
tabbed by Rory Hale
intro: G, D (x3) G, C, G
verse:1
G C G
I was a happy boy living on the dole
G C D
When you came and ruined it all on me
G C G
I'd sit for hours all day in my good friend's home
G C D
Smoking cigarettes and drinking tea
G C G
We were so happy there, talk our lives away
G C D
Talking 'bout our hopes and all our dreams
G C G
Till you came round one day with your great big plan
G C D
And you tried to ruin me with your schemes
chorus:
G C G D
And your Mammy and your Daddy well they call you Mary
G C
But they shoulda called you Deathwatch
C G
Shoulda called you Deathwatch
G D G
Cause you nearly were the death of me
Verse:2
G C G
Lads told me you were no good I turned them away
G C D
Said that you just wanted things from me
G C G
Then you made me get a job and I understood
G C D
I was in too deep I'd not be free
G C G
And then I gave up drink cos you asked me too
G C D
I was shaving each day before long
G C G
Then you said we had to save for a mortgage soon
G C D
That was when the light began to dawn
verse:3
G C G
Didn't even say goodbye just walked away
G C D
From the burderns you had put on me
G C G
Don't know why I even tried to be something I'm not
G C D
All I know's I wanted to be free
G C G
Now I'm a happy boy living on the dole
G C D
Smoking cigarettes and drinking tea
G C G
I'll find some other girl to have me as I am
G C D
You can take your twisted love to sea
