Ears are Prickd

Freddie was a window cleaner studying philosophy on the side 

Playing in a local band, his girlfriend was having their first child.

Freddie used for recreation till it took him in the night poor Freddie.

Davy worked in advertising though his heart dropped out long before he was left a house by a spinster auntie and very quickly blew it up.

He left the gas on during football, fell asleep and never rose, poor Davy, poor Dave.

It's funny what you hear when your ears are prickd 

It's funny what you hear from the dying and the sick 

It's funny what you hear when your ears are prickd

I better get my own shit sorted quick who knows.

Seamie sang a song for Ireland in the doorway of the Cobblestone

It failed to meet the expectations so he retired for the road

Headed low tucked into shoulders, can't be seen to sadly show poor Seamie. No shame.

I am on a magic wagon travelling to another town 

Maybe there I'll hear more stories about some other fortunate young men

Who knows when you're living in arrears 

Who knows when you're living in between the next meal 

Who knows when you're living in arrears 

Who knows when you're living in between the next meal who knows

It's funny what you hear when your ears are prickd

It's funny what you hear from the dying and the sick 

It's funny what you hear when your ears are prickd

I better get my own shit sorted quick who knows.
