Lyrics
I can tell by your tone that you're telling the truth
But it doesn't line up with my image of you
Would you mind very much if I added some spice?
Some sugar and cream and all things nice
There's a twist in your tale that doesn't sit right
A spectrum that dulls the black and white
Well I've bitten my lip, I've held my tongue
But I'm still here you lucky one

Lucky one

Take me back to the start, before the lot
Were you always aware of the gift you've got?
Were you wandering lost outside of the norm?
Am I getting the gist? Am I getting warm?
You're going to have to help me if you want a hand
Well I'm here for you, but I'm a busy man
So step out of the shade and into the Sun
I'm listening, you lucky one

You lucky one

You've been off the grid; cutting your teeth
Supposedly composing your masterpiece
If you give good copy then I'll cut you some slack
But you better remember when it all comes back
And you're lying on the corner of Merchant's Quay
Telling the world how it's meant to be
Well I'll pick you up and I'll take you on
I promise you, you lucky one

You lucky one

I can tell by your tone that you're starting to lag
Am I such a bore? Am I such a drag?
I could rip you to shreds but I'm much too nice
So while you're here take my advice:
Don't let the truth get in the way
A story's a story and anyway
Your foot's in the door, so give me some
You parasite, you lucky one

You lucky one

Just discovered The Villagers on RTE a few days ago. Wow. Proud to find yet anothing incredible Irish Band. Looking forward to your next gig lads...

[freddagamba]

Reminds me a lot of the early Villagers. Brilliant times then and now.

Favourite song of the month for me, fantastic release from Conor

[outtosea]

Heard this on the radio outside of Nashville - found it upon arriving home and now sussing out the chords in backyard. Thanks.

[nevetsgnil]

Incredible artist seen villagers live 6 times Conor never fails to please.

[jesseluke]

I just seen this ad on fb, and had that feeling to come over and have a look, what can I say, straight from the heart

[simontunnicliffe]

Just seen the lead singer do this acoustically on Sunday Brunch, fantastic song and a goosebumps performance on Sunday Brunch. Well done.

[iananderson]

First time hearing this
I'm blown away

[neilriddell]

Gorgeous song, sort of feels like a bridge between the sound of 'Fever Dreams' and 'Becoming a Jackal'.

[hazeyq]

Thank you for the upload. Classic Villagers territory. x

[VictorAndScience]

Conor finally discovering filters on IG.

[tarquinzephyrsymonds]

Excellent video, beautiful and brilliant song. This is genius. Fantastic album too. Bought it last week and now playing it over and over again.

[jezwotton]

I'm confused. The song and lyrics are so beautiful they make me cry. The video is disturbing but excellently crafted. Early contender for song/album of the year!

[jesseluke]

This film clip is a masterpiece and will become a cult classic

@2:22 "The Church of the Immaculate Conception, also known as Adam and Eve's, is a Roman Catholic church run by the Franciscans and it is located on Merchants Quay, Dublin." - the opening sentence of Finnegans Wake by James Joyce starts at this location.

Fever Dreams was my favourite album of 2021, I can't wait for this!!! Keep making this stuff Conor, it's amazing.

[liamolaoghaire]

Brilliant, can’t wait for the new album!

[gizellephillips]

[michaelcunningham]

There's something sticky about this one - I've been playing this at home & it's going down well with the neighbours 😂
