LYRICS:
Do do do
La la la

My friend Sally says she knows ya
got a funny point of you
Says you got away with murder
Maybe one time maybe two

Something happens in the morning
When I can’t see those failing eyes
I can’t find a good word for ya
Does it come as a surprise? I

Don’t think
We’d rhyme
I will wear you down in time
I will hurt you
I’ll desert you
I am Jackie down the line

Said did Sally ‘bout a future
Before you bored of her as well
If all you want is entertainment
If you can’t have it you make hell

Don’t make no odds for ye
To be told yeah
Don’t make no odds for ye
To be told
yeah

I don’t think
We’d rhyme
I will wear you down in time
I will hurt you, I’ll desert you
I am Jackie down the line
I don’t think
We’d rhyme
I will make your secrets mine
I will hate ye
I’ll debase ye
I am Jackie down the line

Do do do
La la la

So come on down to Sally’s boneyard
See her spirit in decline
See the handsome mourners crying
They hawked a beating heart for a sturdy spine, yeah

What good is happiness to me
if I’ve to wield it carefully?
For care I’ll always come up short
It’s only right

I don’t think we’d rhyme
I will wear you down in time
I will hurt ye
I’ll desert ye
I’m one Jackeen of a line
I don’t think we’d rhyme
I will take up all your time
I will chew ye
I’ll go through ye
I am Jackie down the line
I don’t think we’d rhyme
I will make your secrets mine
I will hate ye
I’ll debase ye
I am Jackie down the line
And I will stone ye
I’ll alone ye
I am Jackie down the line
If I can make you
I can break you
I am Jackie down the line
I am Jackie down the line
(ooh shalala)
Do do do
La la la

[spiny]

I was born in 400.000 BC and usually listen to clapping sticks but these guys are really something!

[JustinLozada]

Has that 90s indie vibe…I’m loving it!

[TheEricEllis]

I was born in 1411 and usually listen to Josquin des Prez, but these guys make me feel like a kid again. Brilliant stuff.

[chuckbobuck]

This song reminds me of how I felt completely touched from beyond when I first heard the Smiths “How Soon is Now”, and the Cures “a Forrest”, and the Stone Roses “I wanna be Adored”

[DBELLTREE]

Is it just me or does this band radiate other epic bands like Radiohead, early New Order, a bit of The Smiths, Oasis, The Stone Roses and Joy Division? I think you guys are awesome!!

[MargaritaZ]

First time listening to this band. Within the first 2 seconds, I said “I know I’m going to like this band”

[RickRad]

I am thirteen thousand five hundred and sixty three years old, but these lads make me feel like I am 13 again and discovering actual music for the first time.

[tommytoofar]

And widely ignored from airplay on Irish mainstream radio. Thank god for BBC 6 Music and internet radio for saving my sanity and blessing my ears with the likes of Fontaines on a daily basis

[philipwinn]

Another brilliant track by these guys and I can't believe how good they are.

[filipporm]

I am 53, I heard this piece yesterday on a radio, and god, it was a pleasure to realize good music is still alive on earth. Love at first listen.

[urbannewton]

Timeless yet new. Familiar but completely fresh. I don’t know how they do it again and again!

[sweeeeppppp]

[alejandrocastillo]

One of the most important bands right now. These guys are massively underrated

[NewOrleansPsychicMediumCariRoy]

At 61 it does my heart good to hear that music is indeed alive and doing well.

[BigWorldx]

the speed at which they release quality music is absolutely insane

[lemonkirb]

Fontaines are perfect proof that there will be great music no matter what era and music today is still great. Don't write off modern music because of popular garbage like Dance Monkey and abcdefu, just look harder for fantastic artists like these guys!

[fabvisunature]

My life has been rocked by The Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division etc.. and now Fontaines DC!
Superb discovery, a fantastic universe!

[johncostello]

Jackeen (Jackie Down The Line - Get it?) was used to describe Dubliners due to the area being under the control of Britain in the past in an area referred to as the Pale, the name is said to derive from the Union Jack or simply from the name Jack, commonly used in Britain. It originated as a pejorative term and is noted to be in use since the 1840s. His shirt, which is late 90's Dublin GAA (Hurling and Irish Football) style is the perfect compliment to the song.

[sydneygates]

I'm 62 and love these guys! Evolve!

[valeriedare]

Incredible music! I'm 63 yrs old and am addicted to their music. Totally blows me away.
