about

this track was written about 3 years ago in the middle of the so called 'celtic tiger' days of an ireland drunk on easy credit and a property boom. it did'nt take a genius to know it would all end in tears. (had to change the lyrics to past tense as we recorded this, as the lyric 'what if the bubble bursts' was out of date) no doubt it will be all forgotten and back to business as soon as possible for the greedy bastards.

lyrics

We've been waiting such a long time
For a change to come
It's just around the corner
I've heard for oh so long
And they say look there now
Can't you see it's on it's way?
But I beg to differ/
It's getting worse I say

I can see your eyes
I can see your eyes
Little dollar signs

You say that you are winning
What now the bubble's burst
How could that be living
Fearing for the worst
And they say look there now
Everything has crashed
The wise are all on solid ground
While fools sink in the sand

I can see your eyes
I can see your eyes
Little dollar signs

If this keeps up
I'm packing up I'm leaving
I'm gone
I'll be gone by dawn
I won't stay too long
I'm leaving

We never had it better
Is something I've heard said
The very people saying these things
Are not the ones in debt

I can see your eyes
I can see your eyes
Little dollar signs

We can fight it
We can fight it
We can fight it
But we're fighting a losing battle

We can fight it
We can fight it
We can fight it
But we're fighting a losing battle

I can see your eyes
I can see your eyes
Little dollar signs
