lyrics

Lily came home on the bus from her college a week ago
Stayed in her room with her medical books and took long walks by the train tracks
She said “Dad, you’re a self-loathing Irishman”
And he said “Lil, that’s not fair. I hate everyone else just as much,
Hate them all just as much, hate them all just as much,
Hate them all just as much, hate them all just as much,
Hate them all just as much…”
And as she left the room he kept saying as much
As for you
If I ever bore you
Use these signs to warn you
If I would ever bore you, if I ever bore you

Andy would comment that politics never excited him
Rhetoric too
And though he’d engage with the soul of a party
He’d usually leave on all fours
And the counselors said that “wandering ‘round in France
Might be good for your tan but you won’t find romance
No romance, you will find no romance
You will find no romance, you will find no romance
You will find no romance, you will find no romance
You will find no romance.”
Well, of course you’ll think this if you never dance
As for you
If I ever bore you
Concentrate on the road before you
And I’ll of course write to you
If you ever get bored

But don’t come back to Dublin
Just to become one of them.
Nouveau-riche observers
With nothing new to say.

Lily will die in white-rimmed glasses at fifty-three
With an unnamed husband with too many teeth
No witnesses and no memories of her many complaints
And Andy will wake up on honeymoon with a French burlesque star
Drunk on wine in a Perpignan bar
And, veiny-eyed and stiletto-scarred, he’ll run like the wind
He will run like the wind, he will run like the wind
He will run like the wind, he will run like the wind
He will run like the wind
Life and liver caving in
As for you
If you ever get bored of me
Just do what’s best and leave me
But do spare a thought for me
If you ever get bored

Monday, I’ll be out on the road with my job
And then Tuesday, I might sell some home conveniences
Wednesday I’ll make some money lying to people
And then Thursday, I’ll sing a song about the days of the week
Friday, I’ll be back to my home and my family
And then Saturday, I might watch some sport on TV
And then Sunday, I’ll go down to the track and I’ll strangle a man
And Monday, I’ll be back out on the road again

Andy and Lily walked up to the graveyard late at night
And looked at their town all wasting in light
They sighed and they smiled and they held hands tight
And they had nothing to do
