And she asked me up to her flat downtown
...
When I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home

He wakes up in her flat, so why did he leave if she meant so much ?

leninbenjamin · 19-04-2008 11:54PM

because he was hungry?

MizzLolly · 19-04-2008 11:54PM

I dunno but everytime that song comes on in a pub/club, people point and sing to me!!

Even the bar men!!!!

It is now my song!

Well its pretty self-explanatory, he went to her flat downtown but woke up all alone. She had a cheeky feel when they were getting down to it, realised it was tiny and f8cked off to the spare room in disgust I should imagine.

I hope he nicked her jewelery.

Gordon · 20-04-2008 12:29AM

She was a ladyboy?

Sherifu · 20-04-2008 12:31AM

She was a Galway Hooker.

Red Hand · 20-04-2008 12:34AM

Hate that bloody song. May the songwriter drown in the Corrib.

Overheal · 20-04-2008 12:39AM

Post the full lyrics? I have no idea what song youre on about.

Red Hand · 20-04-2008 12:43AM

Are you kidding? It's that rubbish Galway Girl song that has been saturating the airwaves for the last few months.

have you been in a pub/club anytime recently??

I think the Irish version is waaaaaaaay better!

Dudess · 20-04-2008 12:55AM

I like Steve Earle and while I'm not insane about his version of Galway Girl (which is the original) I think it's not without its charms... but the Mundy version? /makes extremely aggressive stabbing motions

ah sure why not...

Steve Earle - The Galway Girl

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

When I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

JavaBear · 20-04-2008 01:18AM

I'll own up and admit I have no idea what song this is.

*searchs youtube*

.. seems familiar I guess.

Davidius · 20-04-2008 01:19AM

Never heard of it!

Witcher · 20-04-2008 01:20AM

:cool::cool::cool:

"Mundy & Sharon Shannon - Galway Girl".

Originally written by American Steve Earle, it's featured in the movie of that "P.S. I Love You" book by Cecilia Ahern and in the current Bulmers television advert. It's No. 1 right now in the Irish singles chart and is unsurprisingly getting quite a lot of airplay on various Irish radio stations at the moment.

Now does it ring any bells?

Hey, cut Galvia a little slack! The river is already too polluted!

Alessandra · 20-04-2008 01:59AM

It's been on the radio recurrently for the last two years.. How come some people haven't heard it when I spend my nights trying to avoid it! Pretty mean feat to avoid hearing it on a night out down here in the Wesht though:mad:

Well, throw him into the Atlantic so!

20-04-2008 02:40AM

I don't want him bobbing in my Atlantic, spoiling the view! Not only that, those lyrics could poison the food chain!

Well, then, cremate him, mix the ashes with a few litres of water and use him as a herbicide. Any objections?

xsiborg · 20-04-2008 02:51AM

as long as he doesnt come back and start singing that damn song to the plants!!

Nope. Don't watch TV or listen to the charts, sure as fcuk havent seen any Cecilia Ahern films...This thread was the first i heard of it, doubt im missing much :rolleyes:

leninbenjamin · 20-04-2008 02:56AM

Steve Earl's isn't a bad song, and he plays it well (much better than that useless Mundy f*cker) but it's just been played to death. then played again. and then run over by an articulated truck. then played again... etc.

xsiborg... Maybe we should report Jeremiah to the tree huggers as a preventative measure? All we need now is toxic lyrics covering our plants!:eek:
