lyrics

Between Ennis and Woodstock


Between Ennis and Woodstock
I knew you were there
So I opened my window
And I let down my hair

But the people were frightened
Cos, my voice, it was heightened
So they came to take me away
And they handcuffed my wrists
And they told me to pray

They took me to “Your Blue Room”
And I tried to make sense
Of the ever-changing tune
I told jokes that really weren’t funny
And I told them what I thought
Of their dank, dirty money

So they cut off my water
And they sent me to sleep
So that I couldn’t wander
They thought that I might be violent
Which I could sort of understand
Because I wouldn’t stay silent


And, all in all, it felt like
“The World’s End” had really come through
And, all in all, I thought that the poets of our land
Had prophesised me and you

And I am the fool who tells the truth that she saw
When it never could be
I kept your secret sacred when I slept under the sea


And so the sun/son came out to play
Not long after the thundershowers

And I waited for Radiohead
For hours and hours

My famous blue raincoat and eyes were
A shadow to behold

On that Big Day Out in Galway,
I felt like I’d never grow old

On that Big Day Out in Galway,
We felt like we’d never grow old
