Lyrics:
Dressed to impress
Stuck on the Westway
‘The best days are over’
You say
Stressed to duress
It’s Danny’s big day
‘You’ll be ok,
Ends are beginnings’
Doesn’t matter where you are
Everybody plays a part
Your scene’s about to start
Leave before the movie’s over
Preachers, wedding bells and speeches
‘I’m speechless’
He says again and again and again
Priest has nothing left to teach us
The bar tab runs
As the beer tap runs
Doesn’t matter who you are
Everybody plays their part
Your scene’s about to start
Leave before the movie’s over
Crawling down the hallway
Nostalgia racks the bones
The glory that was Galway
The grandeur that was home
And I’m so alone tonight
Dally in the alley as the
Sunset stains the sky
Wet cheeks under bed sheets
It all comes out at night
I’m so alive
Doesn’t matter where you are
Everybody plays their part
Your scene’s about to start
Now leave before the movie starts again.

Haven’t been this excited about a band since Oasis. This band seem like the real deal and their sound has such substance! Incredible band! Can’t wait for the tour.. can see it being an expensive time for me lol

[@elisapiovesan5449]

love this song

[@thisisAndreMattos]

Pretty. This band is getting better and better. Greetings from Brazil

[@hakanlarsson5659]

Fantastiskt bra!

[@seaninskibb]

Another banger, lads. Genuinely haven't looked forward to an album this much in a while. Always a place for ya here in Vancouver. No shortage of Irish to support, either 😅

[@delthornton297]

This is a tune and a half. Brilliant stuff. UK tour any time soon? 🤞

[@ghs5792]

My new favourite track from you guys, love it

[@rockcurrent7171]

a beautiful tune 💥

[@clairefoster4456]

Love this song. Can't wait for your album, been a long time coming ❤

[@mercyisnthere]

no matter how selfish it is, but for some reason I am glad that you are not the most popular band in the whole world, because according to my personal observations, popularity breaks the style of the band and they begin to lose their individuality. I'm in love with your music. I listen to every track every day, I like that you discover new styles for yourself. I wish you atomic success, but please don't change. I dream of getting to your concert, it's a pity you only perform in London. Big greetings from Russia

[@nigellee2350]

UK tour to promote the album?

[@cheeseenthusiast1264]

You guys are such an awesome band, none of your songs miss

[@leonsalgeuro]

An unfamiliar sound from you boys, but it's certainly one I like! Love from the States

[@alexgraefe.photoYT]

Can't wait for you guys to come back to Hamburg

[@andyschulz5238]
