A bitta post punk on your Friday evening
Heartworm is one of the finest albums ever IMO.
An Irish classic.
This is brilliant. People hadn’t a clue what to think.
I absolutely love McKee’s lyrics. They’re another level.
In the morning I am a recluse, lost in memories
Ideal situations and convulsions
I’m never in and I can’t remember
They built portholes for Bono, so he could gaze
Out across the bay and sing about mountains
Maybe. You are what you own in this land
You can be King and it all depends on the view and what you can see
And around here nobody tells me what to do anymore
We don’t need nobody else
We don’t need nobody else
We don’t need nobody else
We don’t need nobody else
Why say words that I do not mean
They only serve to amuse, ridicule and destroy,
Hardly ever to teach
I hit you for the first time today
I didn’t mean it
It just happened
You wouldn’t let me go to the phone,
You wanted to make love and I did not
Now I know the distance between us
Christ we weren’t even fighting, I was just annoyed
Silence and you started to cry, that really hurt
You said, yeah and you thought you knew me
We don’t need nobody else
We don’t need nobody else
Just you and me
Just you and me
Consider this as the wine takes hold
And sinks into your veins
I try to force it but it’s not there
Love gives you comfort
And comfort makes you dim
She’s in the kitchen
Putting beads in her hair
It all came out tonight
The queen of drugs broke down and cried
‘Cause she’d been shagging her best friends guy
She knew the form, she knew the lie
She wasn’t shy and she refused to try
That’s why I’m gazing out of portholes
And I’m wondering why
We don’t need nobody else
We don’t need nobody else
Just you and me
Phenomenal song and lyrics
This is amazing. The singer is so compelling. I can’t believe I missed out on this
As much as I enjoy Fontaine’s DC, they’ve pretty much made their sound ripping off whipping boy
Excellent.
One of the best songs to come from this little isle of ours, that’s for sure.
Christ don’t you miss when Gaybo and the LL could deliver a richly deserved kick to the bollocks of Irish society on a Saturday or Friday night. That was phenomenal. Thanks OP.
I remember this, and it seems like a lifetime ago. Thanks for the post, Jake.
Christ we weren’t even fighting, I was just annoyed
Fucking great song.
Super track, I’d never heard it. Cheers
Class
So good. I believe the singer is a postman now
I saw them in the dome in Tralee about 25 years ago. They were a glorious drunken shambles. McKee was an awful singer live though.
Thanks for sharing, OP, that really took me back. So many good memories of that song.
Awesome tune and performance. The lead singer definitely has an Nick Cave esque about him
Great song. Made me hate people who had sea views for the longest time. Now i have a view, so my opinion has changed.
Exactly what I needed. Brilliant
That was one of the big albums in school alright. I love that my parents would have seen this at the time – they never missed an episode of the Late Late.
“Hwipping Boy” – Gaybo
Anyone else had a loathing of Gay Byrne? Even as a child I hated his passive aggressiveness.
Great band. Heartworm is a belter.
singer looks like the murder capital frontman
Great band, wonder what they’re doing now
Remember buying this single on CD. On repeat for months.
so Bono can sing about mountains. Love that
Very good, can’t believe I’ve never heard this before. Anyone know what year this aired?
