Mary

"Mary" came out as a single from Songs for the Tempted in June 1989 and reached 9 in Ireland and 109 in the UK; a remix single followed in May 1990 (Ireland 9, UK 104) and a Super AD remix in August 2000 (Ireland 29). Other remixes are credited to Michael H. Brauer. Wikipedia says it was one of the most played songs on Irish radio in 1989, flagged as needing a citation; an agency biography says it is still among the most played tracks on Irish radio and was in the SingStar game. Writers are not credited in any source we found.

Brendan Murphy told the Wexford Echo in 2016 that he wrote it to win the affection of an older girl who lived across the road, who had a boyfriend and did not know he was interested in her. The band's brothers still enjoy playing it. Setlist.fm counts it in 27 of 106 shows, level with "Bird's Eye View" and just behind "She Hits Me" (28). The official video is on YouTube, and we do not know which version our upload carries.
