I saw you standing by the smoke machine
You were fiddling in your pocket for some change
You never had the time to talk
too cool for all of us
falling in and out of love
You were passing out your number,
I didn't know him from Adam
But I couldn't give a fuck
You never had the time to talk
and now you know enough's enough
and I'm in trouble
My Eskimo, you wait till I undress and go
My Eskimo, I'm the last one standing
I saw you waiting for an east bound train
you were flicking through an endless page
You never even looked up,
too cool for all of us.
celebrate the little stuff
You were wrapped up in sheepskin
Huddled by the window.
I could see you were reading Raymond Carver
And I slipped you a note on cigarette paper.
My Eskimo, you wait till I undress and go
My Eskimo, I'm the last one standing

Crawling from the darkness. Moving towards the light

And you just keep getting pulled back in to the corner of my mind.

Is it too late to call you up and ask you for a light.

Cos you were so Free. So Free (x2)

There are two pictures on my wall
One''s a snake One's of Christchurch Cathedral
You might see me backing horses
When I'm there I wear a bulletproof vest
And I'll always remember that moment in December
hen an Ou'l one told me to go in shite
Better give up for the night
Better give up fro the night
For Roisin, I'm off my head.
There's skin on that pint
I'd better finish before the man says,
"are ye right there folks"
I'll be skinning up outside
You keep sketch from behind
and I'll talk the head clean off ye.
I'll always stake for better days
I'll always arrive when the party has died.
For Roisin, I'm easy
And Roisin, I'm bleeding
There's some lad asleep much younger than me
He's been on the bag since Thursday evening.
It's a three day week.
It's a roulette machine
It's all that you've got left to believe in.
And when the clock ticks, tock
And the smoke lifts
When the day breaks.
I'll be back in the race.
For Roisin. I'm leaving
And when everything is lost.
I'll go counting the cost.
And when everything's been said.
I'll give up when I'm dead.
