lyrics

One-eyed Paul the barman pours a pint of plain
For another late arrival still dripping with the rain
The loungebar Casanova makes a grab for Anna Mae
She gathers up the glasses as she pushes him away
Just the same old faces, just the same old show
It’s Christmas Eve in Dublin, they say it looks like snow

Carol singers pass the door afraid to show their face
One-eyed Paul would run them – “there’s no music in this place”
The broken television is silent on the wall
It hasn’t worked for years if it ever worked at all
Just like most people in here if the truth were told
It’s Christmas Eve in Dublin, they say it looks like snow

The street outside is noisy though it’s getting very late
What’s the bets it’s Bono busking with his mates?
Christmas is for giving as everybody knows
I should have bought a present but now the shops are closed
I’ll finish up my drink – just one more for the road
It’s Christmas Eve in Dublin, they say it looks like snow
It’s Christmas Eve in Dublin, they say it looks like snow

After an absence of nearly 40 years, Tommy Keyes returns with a stockpile of great songs that defy categorisation. Rock? Pop? “It’s 1970s singer-songwriter music”, he says, “because that’s what I am.”
