Smiling Like An Idiot

(album: Smiling Like An Idiot - 2022)

Me and Joe, we go dancing in Manchester
With the band sitting back at the bar
And on the way home we stop for a photo
You grin with your teeth, look how happy we are
And on my birthday we do karaoke
And meet at Lord Edward beside the cathedral
Domino told me that it was her favourite
So I go and bring all of my favourite people

Hey baby, swing for the bases
Keep going, don't trade places
I'm smiling like an idiot again
Hey baby, swing for the fences
Whatever consequences
I'm smiling like an idiot again

I get back to Dublin and sleep for an hour
Then Dart into Tara, there's rain on the ground
Well I didn't know, I just hoped that you'd make it
I wasn't ready to say that out loud
Maybe a part of me knew all along
Maybe I shouldn't have sent you that song
The second floor window, the sun coming down
I knew I loved you when you turned around

Hey baby, swing for the bases
Keep going, don't trade places
I'm smiling like an idiot again
Hey baby, swing for the fences
Whatever consequences
I'm smiling like an idiot again

Where does it go
The calendar year?
It's Friday so we get
Friday souvenirs
And on the way home
We pass the cathedral
I never knew I could
Be so happy here

So hey baby, swing for the bases
Keep going, don't trade places
I'm smiling like an idiot again
Hey baby, swing for the fences
Whatever consequences
I'm smiling like an idiot again

Yeah I'm smiling like an idiot again
I'm smiling like an idiot again
I'm smiling like an idiot again
I'm smiling like an idiot again
I'm smiling like an idiot again
I'm smiling like an idiot again
I'm smiling like an idiot again
I'm smiling like an idiot again
I'm smiling like an idiot again

(That was awful)
(Yeah, let's do one more)
