Reacharound Lyrics
Cute hoors on every corner
They're putting out, putting out
And there's many a kerb crawler
A boy racer
Fine young men with their spoilers spoiled
Hail fella, well met
Makin' V's like Nixon
A comb over and sweat
Cute hoors in the corridors of power
Throwin' shapes, atin' grapes
The wink and elbow language of delight
Has been seduced by the dark side
We are the babies that they kissed
And ours is the flesh that they pressed
Yea they're good for a reacharound
Always good for a reacharound
Oh they're good for a reacharound
Always good for a reacharound
Cute hoors on every corner
They're putting out, putting out
As with most things here
It's hard to pin down
It sticks to your clothes, it's airborne
It's been long celebrated
As something to make us proud
All this movin' and shakin'
Envelopes so brown
Yea they're good for a reacharound
Always good for a reacharound
Oh they're good for a reacharound
Always good for a reacharound
They're putting out, putting out
And there's many a kerb crawler
A boy racer
Fine young men with their spoilers spoiled
Makin' V's like Nixon
A comb over and sweat
Throwin' shapes, atin' grapes
The wink and elbow language of delight
Has been seduced by the dark side
And ours is the flesh that they pressed
Always good for a reacharound
Oh they're good for a reacharound
Always good for a reacharound
They're putting out, putting out
As with most things here
It's hard to pin down
It sticks to your clothes, it's airborne
It's been long celebrated
As something to make us proud
All this movin' and shakin'
Envelopes so brown
Always good for a reacharound
Oh they're good for a reacharound
Always good for a reacharound

i think that this song might have something to do with corrupt politicians: "corridors of power" "has been seduced by the dark side" "envelopes so brown"
I'm not really sure what the "cute hoors" have to do with it though..
I don't think you're far wrong, anyone familiar with Irish politics would know about the culture of corruption and the numerous tribunals set up to investigate the brown envelope politics. "cute hoors" is an Irish term to describe someone who is very cunning and fly. Just like a politician in fact!

Paul Noonan is such an intelligent song writer. He throws in little bits of humour or literature references and this song is no different
"The wink and elbow language of delight" is taken from a poem by Patrick Kavannagh, an Irish poet.
