I saw you was down at the greeks
There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
You sang me a song that was pure as the breeze
On a road leading up Glenaveigh
I sat for for a while by the cross at Finool (?)
When young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom
Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shinrone
Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go
Take my hand!
Where is the ‘Greeks’.?
Cafe in London, I think? Siobhan was on BBC Sounds recently and referenced it.
Plausible alright. A quick search tells me they are the only place in Soho where you’d get a beer into the early hours.
I was over in Soho late ish once looking for a beer in a sit down burger cafe type place but yer man would only serve me beer in a teapot and had to drink it from a proper tae cup.
True story.
A pub in London doesn’t really blend with the rest of the lyrics but it doesn’t have to make sense
