Lyrics for Song: Song For Dan Treacy
Lyrics for Album: Congratulations [2010]
He spends his time
Or maybe half of his time
Or part of the time wandering
Round the creeks and cobble stones of hackney lanes
With a tear in his eye as the children walk by,
He's thinking of a song then stops
To paint a picture of a frown walking around
Dan Treacy's smile leaves you trying to decide
Who's the victim, what's the crime?
No rest for the mind that's seen it all before
And I don't know where he lives
But he's a myth of a man and Texas Bob the cameraman
Is off to fix his suit before the show
Yeah, but where did he go?
To know when your time's up
You flip the glass and watch the hours quickening, oh oh oh oh oh
In the back of the station
Fluorescent lights about to quit their flickering
Well he speaks his mind, he says what is crime?
Dan Treacy's eyes
In the middle of the park
When the underground is dark,
He's a poet he's a lark
He starts thinking
About a place that no one knows
And when the creeks run dry
He stays frozen in time
Strange lights in the sky
Start blinking
I can see the car outside but he's listening
He's listening he's listening and he's making up his mind
He made his mind up to get things done and overcome
He made his mind up yeah he's gonna let it go
He made his mind up in the park and at the station
He made his mind up yeah, he's gonna get it done
He made his mind up ooh yeah he's gonna get it done
He made his mind up yeah, he's gonna let it go, uh oh
No matter the time oh oh when the creeps run by oh no
He's making his mind up oh oh oh oh yeah,
He's gonna get it done whoa oh yeah,
When the creeks run dry whoa oh yeah,
He's gonna listen to his soul,
Yeah, when the creeps walk by and say
Come here boy, look me in the eye
Bow to the heart, back to the beat of Dan Treacy
