Blood or Whiskey

Your Majesty

You came from DunLaoghaire town where the ferry waits to go

Where the wind blows so cold but not so gently off the sea

You came from DunLaoghaire town to the centre of the world

Where you changed the hearts of everyone so easily

Then you crossed the Irish sea to see London and beyond

Where your star it rose and rose until you shone so bright

Then you crossed the Irish sea and you saved a million lives

But you let the ones who caused it all make you their knight

All you had to do, all you had to do was say

Your Majesty, your Majesty shove your OBE

Shove your OBE your Majesty

Every band with half a note likes to play that rebel card

They like to act so hip and radical but then

Every band with half a note loves to whine about the rich

But you'll still seek their approval in the end

Is it true that all success has the power to corrupt us

Or does everyone become what they've despised

Is it true that all success makes you feel so insecure

That you need to line up and be patronised
