A beautiful verse
When you played against a gale force wind
And it changes at half time
Where the ocean kisses Ireland
And the waves carress it’s shore
Factory house outside the town
Pretty name I can’t remember
Christmas party seventy seven
Heart beat like an earthly tremor
First love stays with you forever
Talking about the Saw Doctors?
Aren’t they some sort of comedy ironic band?
Fire up Dreams
I watched it back there, very enjoyable. Leo Moran is a thoroughly alright sort.
Watching the early 90s audience footage made me reflect on the vast improvement in Irish people’s personal grooming habits. You would hardly ever see a woman with a moustache these days. Outside of Laois obviously.
The ‘ hope you meet again’ song about Leo’s ma and his dead brother is a thing of real beauty, by God they could write a lyric
Liz back over the Christmas to reclaim her throne.
The airbrusher never even got Christmas off.
They’re not airbrushed
Liam Neeson. Calling Liam Neeson
an invite for Liam to PM? Lucky dog
That’s an absolutely beautiful song.
They captured the Ireland of the mid 80s to early 90s to perfection. National treasures.
And thank fuck for that . Things are bleak enough
They were as real as any Irish band as you’d get.
‘I didn’t see much future. As I left the Christian Brothers school’.
I never even met him
but I knew we’d be a pair
we’d have sat down in any pub in town
and had a good time there
Are you cunts discussing the saw doctors on the Liz Hurley thread?
Fuck up
