lyrics

Town life—it’s the clustering of algae ‘round your head
It’s the drab haircuts on indie kids
The gougers on your sleeve who won’t let go
Well, let go
Take the train as far as it will reach
Past the geometric roads in squares
The bag-infested colonies
The bilge and froth of beercan leach
But to where?
I don’t know
What’s the point in a country town
And middle managers grafted there?
The tractors and machinery
Peering over walls like four-year-olds
So to where?
To County Mayo’s open cliffs
To hear the whistle of country, lost?
We’ll drive right off those open cliffs
Let seagulls watch us crashing through the air

I ran through the carriages, sun flashes reflecting in
The myriad lives of husbands and wives
Rattling into oblivion

Wake up! quick! and let the sun in
The drunk man’s gone home, dead and tired
Wake up, open out the windows
And shake the dust down off your eyes
