Something we all Know

from Decent Folk by The Dublin City Rounders

/

lyrics

We played our share of honky-tonks, most always had a blast and we've met most every type: black, white, tall, short, slow and fast. Most all of y'all are kind and true and neighbourly to the last but there is one type, no nice way to put it, they're just a pain the ass.

And they say "Please, please, please play something we all know." Some folk's can't enjoy a tune 'less they've heard it before. They simply lack the capacity to appreciate the unknown so "Please, please, please play something we all know."

We like to play some good old tunes by Jimmy, Johnny and Hank and we play our hearts out every night, that's with or without your thanks. But we ain't no jukebox with no best of song bank, we're just a couple of boys making some noise no matter what you think.

But they say "Please, please, please play something we all know." Some folk's can't enjoy a tune 'less they've heard it before. They simply lack the capacity to appreciate the unknown so "Please, please, please play something we all know."

Now nostalgia, I'll admit, sure does feel grand and there's nothing quite like singing along, clapping them big ol' hands. But there was a time when your favourite song you'd never heard before so open your hearts and open your ears because there's so much more.

And quit saying "Please, please, please play something we all know." Some folk's can't enjoy a tune 'less they've heard it before. They simply lack the capacity to appreciate the unknown so "Please, please, please play something we all know."

Two Irish brothers, one mind and a single beating heart made of rock n roll gold.
Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads! ... more
