Vicar Street Days

[Verse 1] When I landed on two feet I'd just turned nineteen My head in the clouds with an old singin' dream The crowd down below me they spun round and round The microphone smelt like a rusty old pound [Verse 2] We started a scene, and the feelin' was right Feedback an' debauchery all through the night I'm leaving you now dear it won't be for long When I return I'll have finished this song [Chorus 1] The years start to fly Sometimes friendships die And sometimes they go to heaven and you don’t know why [Verse 3] I danced up and down Vicar Street, nothin' seemed far My comrade drove by me in his wee blue car The delivery team they were never on time Some liked a smoke and some liked a line [Verse 4] The ceiling got sticky with an aura of hell And the queue for the toilets like a carousel As I look back now on that reckless young haze I'll never forget the Vicar Street days [Chorus 2] The years start to fly Sometimes friendships die Sometimes they go to heaven and you touch the sky [Post-Chorus] I sang to the heavens I sang to those below I asked the big man to save me He already knows The unanswered question If how I spent my time was right And as the people change The memories fade They all become a haze— Of the Vicar Street days [Outro] The Vicar Street days The Vicar Street days
