Lyrics
A swaggering stick, you carry it quick
Attired up and looking fine
I'll persevere and wait in line to hear what it is you've seen
The tattoo on your chest makes me want one of my own
We flew the nest when we were bold enough
You know the rest we talked before and said too much
Power is reaching a place where no one needs to know I'm empowered
I'm alive now, I'll thrive now, that's more than enough
Radiate a smile 'cause we're only here for a short while
And I don't want to miss a day 'cause I'm missing you
Larry is heavy-handed and gets in your space
A space invader who's deaf in one ear
Scudders is still skulling bags of Galahad
Oh, I wish I Galahadn't last night
The crowd roars and soars
The crowd soars, the engines roar
Pyros flash smokes choke they joke
He doesn't pay his child support
But he never misses an away game
Why are you all dressed the same?
All the young men are wearing black on black with black trims
Speak suicide as a closing remark
Then disappear into the darkness and the glow of their own hopes
Glories, dashed and redeemed
Radiate a smile 'cause we're only here for a short while
And I don't wanna miss a day 'cause I'm missing you
Radiate a smile if we're only here for a short while
Now we don't wanna miss a day 'cause there's so much we must do
How can I put this in the best way
Mully is a nice man, I don't mean to be reductive
But what's wrong with being a nice man
Or decent and humble in the way he inspires the young
To take their feelings and then weave them into a tapestry of song
Louise is slight but carries herself like a giant
She walks in the footsteps of Bridget and Ériu writing her own myth
And she sees through the bullshit and the little ones look to her as an icon
That leads them into the light
People rush and push, everybody is rushing
And pushing and vying, vying to be heard
There's a song that was sung at the battle of Verdun
It went like, "Who will really thrive if there is nothing to be won?"
Radiate a smile 'cause we're only here for a short while
And I don't wanna miss a day 'cause I'm missing you
Radiate a smile if we're only here for a short while
Now we don't wanna miss a day 'cause there's so much we must do
An embrace so tight it asphyxiates the lungs
Then a look into my eyes that says I know I've lost
I've done my share of bringing beauty into this world
And my share of hurting beauty in the process of it all
Give me a Ring-A-Ring O'Rosy
Here's a locket you chose for me, I chose you
There's a belly load of butterflies in this tune
Now let's release them, let them play amongst our rhythms and our blues
Radiate a smile 'cause we're only here for a short while
And I don't wanna miss a day 'cause I'm missing you
Radiate a smile for the ones who built the bonfires
Of hope and love and laughter when the odds seemed stacked
No, we don't want to miss a day 'cause there's so much we must do
Radiate a smile for the ones who built the bonfires
Of hope and love and laughter when the odds seemed stacked
(You see)
