My kind of social drinking
Allows me to sip a brandy and keep thinking 
Coz I'm listening to music and it makes me dance
Like I've woken to love and out of the trance
And there were days and there were years 
There were monuments and there were tears 
There was the sweet sight of Connolly's face
As he looked into me like I'm open space
And it set a wheel in motion 
Set a fire in me of pure devotion 
And I turn to the beat of him miles away
We always had something but I couldn't say
What exactly it was 
And only because
I have the freedom to write
The way he made my love ignite 
On a lonely street in Dublin city
I let him get away and that's more the pity
But sometimes I wonder if he's really gone
Coz we said see you later and not so long 
And I skulked around corners he used to shout from 
Til everyone's wondering what exactly I'm on
Coz it's not normal behaviour 
But I kissed the saviour 
Of a good time 
Just tell me we're okay and sort of fine
With my independent streak 
Though your honest has a way of making me weak 
And I find you in cobwebs I clear out of my mind
Like you were the awesome of a pretty good find 
That I can't leave alone
If I had a home
I'd invite you to stay
But I just look up at my flat and away
From the honesty of your voice
It was truth, it wasn't a choice
