Settled Kids
A white Kentucky thoroughbred sixteen four, hands high
His first embrace a mother's kick that blinded him in one eye
That's how he became a lilywhite, you past not unlike his
The cinema of circumstance beneath those dark eyelids
Local is knowing where the gap in the fence is
We became community between those strides of theirs
Local is knowing where the gap, the gap in the fence is
My Mother & my Father died with just 9 month apart
We were strangers in the neighbourhood, staked down with our orphan hearts
'til we sat upon their withers & became the local kids
Down languid lanes, we left our loss
In their ditches grief was rid
Local is knowing where the gap in the fence
Bringing Star & Oscar up the field in hoodies & hi-vis
Local is knowing where the gap, the gap in the fence is
We are only wide awake when we're half seat, on the edge
The Casey's will be waiting where the picket meets the hedge
We'll re-record what's going on beneath those dark eyelids
With summer walks & sparrow-hawks, with coola pops & fizz
We became community just like the settled kids
Bringing Star & Oscar up the filed in hoodies & hi-vis
Local is knowing where it is, local is knowing where it
Local is knowing where the gap in the fence
We became community just like the settled kids
Local is knowing where the gap, the gap in the fence is
The Mary Wallopers are one of the finests bands from the actual Irish folk scene. Playing traditional tunes with great talent and a sophisticated sense of humor ;)
I hope to be able to see them live, on a stage or on a session as soon as possible ! mael_true_x
Gosh. Someone has shapeshifted into my life.
A testament to incredible songwriting and musicianship by those with mastery of their craft, in my humble opinion.
So grateful for art that gives voice to life's experiences and dreams and all that really matters. This is music that really matters.
have heart, will listen
