lyrics

I got an interview
So what could I do but go along and pretend to be someone else?
Curse of divine jaysus on whatever foul wind blew the objectionable thing through my letterbox
But lacking the will to leave the comfort of my nasty little rut, I said I’d go through with it
So I got the suit out of hock, but I had to get the nutter in the flat across the hall to tie the tie -
2.99 in Dunnes Stores, since I couldn’t in good conscience spend money on such an item.
It was made of dog hair or almond oil or linoleum or some such.
The nutter wished me good luck, but I made him take it back,
Then I girded my loins, steeled my resolve, and started off walking for Dame Street
But I got there far too early.

I want to bomb the central bank

How they shat upon my karma
With such questions as
“What do you view as the pre-eminent macro-economic policy goal of the EU?”
Or “How did that experience affect your mindset, Mr. Hearne?”
The truth was it made me want to get drunk on snakebites,
Same as every other experience that particular year,
But I had left my honesty, with my soul and my love of my fellow man,
Simmering on the stove in the bedsit
And I had only indigestion and fear to draw answers from.
“Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?”
I wanted to say “Standing in the rubble of a newly-cleansed Dublin”
I wanted to say “Dancing on the head of a pin”
I wanted to say “Alive. Alive somewhere.”

I want to bomb the central bank
