city so great - oisín mccole lyrics
he sits by the pumps in god knows where
running greasy hands through greasier hair
telling his ma that he couldn’t care
less if she left with the next city fare
because he knows city cars have gotten so rare
each night he wakes from the nightmare
sees a rotting body on a rocking chair
that his pa filled ‘til he wasn’t there
he spent a night with a stranger’s wife
who was there too adjusting the light
throwing shadows on a body so white
grinning as she held on real tight
music drifted from the room outside
the needle cl!cking on an old forty five
between swing and swing who can decide
he wanted everything to go quiet
he got himself into a wicked drunken state
danced with a widow at an old man’s wake
confessed to the barman hoping to be saved
he poured his absolution, poured it straight
sang to the restroom, the urinal cakes
got sick in the alley on his funeral shoes
head full o’ concrete heart full o’blues
got lost on his way home
long dark road on his way home
long dark road on his way home
and everybody knows more than him these days
everybody knows more than him these days
and the city so great
oh the city won’t move
it’ll hide a man, hide his troubles too
