Far too quickly, it's the end of another deadly night Dancefloor, dense crowd, bathed in brilliant bright light. The disco is done, DJ's unplugging, bouncers be bugging, wants none of us hangingg around and hugging Ground level is jam packed, the rafters are too, Who's up for more craic some afters are you, There's a fun fire in me, I'm feeling game, Lets keep this candle flickering, forever in flame. There's bound to be a sitting room, with a bitta carpet, where our royal arseholes can humbly park it a suppa tea, some melody, an improvised ash tray warm open people, sounding slightly smashed say no loolas no hoohas, out to gatecrash, nay just a gentle spot, where us lot, can splish a splash hey. Take a deep sniff, that scent is so fresh, this is not an if, there is defo a sesh. Take a deep sniff, that scent is so fresh, this is not an if, there is defo a sesh... Way too slowly we stum-fumble out onto the kerb for a lighter, a linger amidst the chat and waft and herb and theres a grand group gathered, awaiting that winky beckon, im checkin, to see if anyone's gettin head-wrecking I'm in cruise control, on a mission, unmanned, I'm up for it all, the best nights are unplanned. This is that moment, when magic manifests, what once was one or two is now a crew of many many guests Yeah the buzz is good Yeah the buzz is good Yeah the buzz is good Yeah the buzz is good Yeah the buzz is good Yeah the buzz is good Yeah the buzz is good Yeah the buzz is good We're off, were moving, this shits real. Destination somewhere in the heart of Smithfield. A liquid like groove through deserted tram tracks, both ends of our candle now, dripping trails of fam wax Delighted with our lives, us the lucky livin' In we pour inside the door, the Pied Piper's children ah take a deep sniff, that scent is so fresh this is not an if, there is defo a sesh take a deep sniff, that scent is so fresh this is not an if, there is defo a sesh ah the buzz is good, we can easily do this, lets have a ball and invite a tatooist, there's plenty of them only itching to ink your man, your wan, yeah what do ya think, yeah the buzz is good, we can easily do this, lets have a ball and invite a cartoonist, there's plenty of them only itching to ink, your man, your wan, yeah what do you think yeah The buzz is good I love the buzz Yeah the buzz is good I love the buzz Yeah The buzz is good, I love the buzz, Yeah the buzz is good. Yeah the buzz is good We can easily do this, If the buzz is good, We can easily do this, When the buzz is good We can easily do this, Yeah the buzz is love.

about

"Culture is always something that was,
Something pedants can measure,
Skull of bard, thigh of chief,
Depth of dried up river.
Shall we be thus forever?
Shall we be thus forever?'
Patrick Kavanagh, excerpt from Memory of Brother Michael, Collected Poems page 119
