[Verse 1]

I was messing at a gathering atop a hill of a brisk and shepherd's morning

Air so cold you could crack it on a knee

I train the eye like an eagle and watch the creatures flee one by one

[Pre-Chorus]

Sometimes, you get lucky

Sometimes, they'll disappear back up their own arse if it's not too mucky

If you're lucky

[Chorus]

So smug and busy

Just another suit-yourself is he

He's an Irish man though

So smug and busy

Just another suit-yourself is he

He's an Irish man though

So stick your harps up a yipaderry-o

[Verse 2]

Stubbin' a toe upon a peg by a tent too bent out of shape to house the critters

You singlе out the feather of a hat of anothеr

String it to the bow you stole from another brother

[Pre-Chorus]

Sometimes, you get lucky (Ay, you would)

Sometimes, they'll disappear back up their own arse if it's not too mucky

If you're lucky

[Chorus]

So smug and busy

Just another suit-yourself is he

He's an Irish man though

So smug and busy

Just another suit-yourself is he

He's an Irish man though

[Refrain]

You telling me how you feel

Is not why I have my walls up

The further out the wings you get

The closer you become instead

You telling me how you feel

[Verse 3]

Gold Celtic sauce dripping glaze from a rusty old face of a fireplace

Jetblack anorak covered up panic attack

Mouthpiece for the righteous

But not a single word or act that tells me you stand with the gracious at all

Dressed the part, but yet to play the part

So rise up I say, but you can't

You're as flat as a snake's bollocks

Ask yourself what you truly want

You'll be sad first but sad less

What are you so afraid of?

[Break]

You telling me how you feel

[Chorus]

So smug and busy

Just another suit-yourself is he

He's an Irish man though

So stick your harps up a yipaderry-o
