about

A self deprecating song written by Colm and his experience of house parties with girls and guitars. Liam supplied the riffs.

lyrics

At the after party and I've got my eye on one
All night I've been grafting and I think we're having fun
And in my head the deal is sealed its all going to plan
Then all of a sudden in walks a handsome man
And you can tell just to look at him he'll probably go far
He's got better hair than me I bet he drives a fancy car
The way the girls are fawning you'd swear he's a superstar
Just when I thought things couldn't get much worse
He whips out a guitar

And it doesn't take a genius to call
I bet he's gonna murder Wonderwall.
Don't they all?

Now we compete we show off for attention desperately
You think I could forgive myself but I'm turning 33
But it's 2am. Its do or die 'cause self love's no fun drunk
I need a song to save the night
I need to hit a slam dunk

So I sing an song I wrote myself
No-one shows any interest
They think handsome man's the best
The guitar goes round to the left
It's tumbleweed and cigarettes
Fuming on song choice regrets
I am cursed he is blessed
He sang the verse they knew the rest

And it didn't take a genius to call
I bet he's gonna murder wonder wall


And all the girls they love the vibe and chant and sing along
But he sounds out of key to me
And his rhythm is all wrong
O I give up I'm out of time
But the vodka and the wine
Are telling me that I'm just fine
If I can't shine no-one will shine
Jealousy makes me call him out
Then he punches me in the mouth
All the girls they scream and shout
And I'm told to get out

And my Eclectic Taste was my downfall
I should have kicked it off with Wonderwall
