The Thrills - "The Irish keep gatecrashing" (lyrics)

One of the best songs I've ever heard from this marvelous Irish indie band:

Lyrics:

.

If I could learn to love you

Could you learn to love me

Lust will only get us so far now

.

Lust, top 40 fame...

I can smell your catholic shame

But it goes on & on...

.

The fashion police keep chasing

The Irish keep gate-crashing

Lust will only get us so far now

.

I finally shed my puppy fat

No, kids, there's no encore tonight

But it goes on & on...

.
