Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Spiddal, New York, and Findhorn have all served as homes for the group. The band has played in a number of different styles, but their music is a mix of Celtic folk music with rock and roll.

I'm staring at a stranger faint in the mirror
He's looking like a ghost in human form
That used to be my head but the occupant has fled
Lord, where's the good man gone?

My eyes are like two troopers in a foxhole
I'm doing things I used to know were wrong
I've hurt all my friends and I'll do it again
Lord, where's the good man gone?
Lord, where's the good man gone?

There's a woman, Lord, somewhere in this city
I've got to put her in my song
I'm treating her unkind and I don't mind
Lord, where's the good man gone?

Lord, where's the good man gone
And is he coming back?
Lord, where's the good man gone
And is he coming back?

Lord, where's the good man gone
And is he coming back?
Lord, where's the good man gone
And is he coming back?

Lord, where's the good man gone
And is he coming back?
Lord, where's the good man gone
And is he coming back?

Lord, where's the good man gone
Is he coming back?
Lord, where's the good man gone?
