Playboy of the Western World Lyrics

Such a great song... The beginning is a bit tortured, but once that verse guitar kicks in it's pure magic.

It took me a while to realise it, but I think the narrator is returning the flowers to him in the end in his casket, after he dies. That's my read of it anyway. Brilliant.

@schnitzi - thank you for your insights, I concur.
