If you enjoy the company
of a descending family tree
Well tuck in your thoughts,
it's there or its not.
the feeling is mutual
Well pardon my birth i just slipped out
origins i can't brag about.
spawn of a bank inquisitor
And theives i wish.
Watch out the snitch also
involves himself in blackmail.
One would think the interests conflict.
Yeeeeah, hooo
Change from within the orthodox
Polish the shoes polish the rocks
Well done, but rare I set to not
changing the order...
the air is so taut I feel so thin
Hot is the gun closing in
Hot is the gun i'm closing in
and reeap the benefits
Beware the head of state
says that see believes in leprechauns
Irish folk tales scare the shit out of me, yeah
be as it may i'm happy to say i'm around
Miles accrued and passengers add up
the message on a mirror says "stick with me"
Cause no one's there
to read your reflection when i'm gone
get it on

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
the final spoken bit...the 'be as it may...' is brilliant. it's surely about how over the passage of time, acquaintances and 'people you have known and no longer know' just stack up; but there's a few others you measure yourself by - like we know ourselves better through the people we're close to. i think it's a great truth nailed in -until then- a relatively mediocre song.
Lordy,lordy I love this song....interpreting meaning for this one seems somewhat meaningless....so very open to subjective interpretation it's as if the song is a gift packaged individually for each one of us to with what we wish.
I quote "Irish folk tales scare the shit out of me" a lot
what is this about?
