Still Selling Shoes Lyrics
We are at a crossroads
Trees bow to the winds of change
But where is all the dancing
Where is all the dancing?
Where are the comely maidens
With their hair wraps and braiding
Here we are at a crossroads
And where do we go from here?
Boozy charm will only get you so far
That's a card played by the underdog
With a lamp we'd call to our runt
Turned to nurse the tiger cub
Back when Rory played the blues and Ronan was still selling shoes..
I hear the echo of a thousand hollow welcomes
Surely we can manage to be someone, someone
We've long closed Billy's barn doors
'Cos it doesn't matter where the gang goes
Have we forgotten what it's like to go
'Cos we did not have
Say it loud and with one voice
We didn't really have a choice
But to colonise by sleeping bag
Trojan nag
Back when Rory played the blues and Ronan was still selling shoes..
When Rory played the blues and Ronan was still selling shoes..
Still selling shoes, still selling shoes, still selling shoes
When Rory played the blues and Ronan was still selling shoes
Trees bow to the winds of change
But where is all the dancing
Where is all the dancing?
Where are the comely maidens
With their hair wraps and braiding
Here we are at a crossroads
And where do we go from here?
That's a card played by the underdog
With a lamp we'd call to our runt
Turned to nurse the tiger cub
Surely we can manage to be someone, someone
We've long closed Billy's barn doors
'Cos it doesn't matter where the gang goes
Have we forgotten what it's like to go
'Cos we did not have
Say it loud and with one voice
We didn't really have a choice
But to colonise by sleeping bag
Trojan nag

We are at a crossroads The trees bow to the winds of change But where is all the dancing? Where is all the dancing? Where are the comely maidens? With their hair wraps and braiding?
Here we are at a crossroads And where do we go from here? Boozy charm will only get you so far That's a card played by the underdog When the lamp went cold to our rub We turned to nurse the tiger cub

Back when Rory played the blues And Ronan was still selling shoes..
Now I hear the echo of a thousand hollow welcomes Surely we can manage a sound one, a sound one? We've long closed Billy's barn doors 'Cos it doesn't rhyme with the gang goes
Have we forgotten what it's like to go cos we did not have We'd say it loud and with one voice Didn't really have a choice But to tear ourselves from this land And go colonise by sleeping bag
Back when Rory played the blues And Ronan was still selling shoes..
Back when Rory played the blues And Ronan was still selling shoes..
Still selling shoes Still selling shoes Still selling shoes
When Rory played the blues And Ronan was still selling shoes.
