The Longest Johns

Lyrics:
Good evening aren’t we lucky to be here right now
And I can’t remember when the sun went down
We’ll all be surprised if there’s a bar in town
That welcomes us tonight, that welcomes us tonight
But there’s money in our pockets and the Llandoger’s in sight

Heave and ho! A roving we will go
Down the roads of cobbles to the everlasting flow
Of Ale and cider, whisky boys, it’s flowing like the wine
We’ll all be well tonight, we’ll all be well tonight
While there’s money in our pockets and the Llandogers in sight

Stand and sing! The walls begin to ring
With the sound of centuries gone past and history in the beams
Where Defoe and Stevenson both put the world to rights and
We’ll all be well tonight, we’ll all be well tonight,
While there’s money in our pockets and the Llandogers in sight

Your time, it is precious
And there’s plenty to be done
But I hear that Jack can be a dull, dull boy
So drink with us tonight, drink with us tonight
‘Coz there's money in our pockets and the Llandogers in sight

Well the spirits have got us in every way I know
I see angels in the rafters taking in the show
The smartest fool the dumbest sage are singing in the back
And we’ll all be well tonight, put your troubles in the past
We’ll all be well tonight, ah we’ve found heaven at last

We’ll all be well tonight
We’ll all be well tonight
We’ll all be well tonight
We’ll all be well tonight x2

‘Coz theres money in our pockets and the Llandogers in sight

We were at the llandoger the day they came to record the background atmosphere, group cheers, chants and sing-along bits for a couple of the songs. So this is always going to have fond memories for me lol. We'll all be well tonight! 😂

10/10 Not enough Andy staring into my soul as if he'd peered into my future lives and had found me wanting

[nemmeton]

this feels like the drunk cousin of the hard times come again no more music video and i mean that in the absolute best way possible. so fun and joyous, an absolute treat!!

[Comrade-Hans]

I swear anything these guys sing is either oddly nostalgic or incredibly giddy and just a vibe

[jessinthegarden]

I already love this song so much, in this oddly sentimental way? It feels like a memory, feels familiar, like I’ve been listening to it all along. So it’s it’s already adequately nestled in amongst my absolute favorites

[jessinthegarden]

Oh that was just so far beyond adequate! So delighted for everyone who was able to be part of it. A very special launch for the album, feels perfectly fitting. Huzzah!

[CapriUni]

The sheer joy in this video is palpable, and very much welcome. Thanks for pulling me out of the doldrums.

[joshuasaunders]

My two year old daughter runs around the room dancing whenever she hears this, her absolutely favourite song! As soon as it finishes she looks at me and says "more!"

[Tanks.With.Teeth.Malloy]

The past few months have been pretty rough. Lot of family issues and medical concerns. However thankfully things are on uptick on both ends and I'm hopeful for the future.

Because of this I'm an emotional wreck of a human. When I watched this got to 1:57 I was balling my eyes out in a good wat. I haven't had a good cry in ages. I greatly appreciate everyone's work on this.

My wife and I are seeing you all in Ashville NC. I really hope I can meet you all or see you at one of the local breweries. Wicked Weed and their sister brewery Funaktorium one my two favorites.

Take care, and thank you all again.

[petercooper]

This was a blast to be part of; thanks so much to the band for putting the call out to the fanbase and paying for the bar tab! Such a great tribute to a pub which hosts the epic shanty session twice a month, one of the best things you can do in Bristol with the most welcoming crew

[calebmurphy]

Robbie is such a natural on camera. I could use many words to describe it, but to put it simply, he just has IT. Instant star quality. Man should be on billboards. Highlights: 0:50, 1:34

[pjk]

I'm glad Robbie got to lean into punk! This one is a certified banger

[changeuphitter]

Happy Voyage release day!! Loving the new album, and this video just oozes with all the fun the johns had making it! We’ll all be well tonight!

[FanGran-gtbf]

I wish that I could "like" this every time I tune in because it's one of my favorites and I'm SO glad that they opened this during their last tour!

[ffosiliaudecymrusouthwales]

Another most adequate offering, chaps! I'm loving the new album.

[shonajemphrey]

Love this! Love the Llandoger and their sea shanty nights and love that they now have a theme song from our favourite band

[alvpyrola]

That was so So great to see some familiar faces of people I've never actually met :D I LOVE that you invited your fans to do this. The song makes me super happy, and the video even more so! Gonna have to watch it in fullscreen now so I can catch more of the fun details. You lads are the absolute best!

[lautalanmoto]

I heard this song on Finnish radio Yule Yuksi, Shazamed it, found it on YouTube, and was pleasantly surprised. Thank you.)

[cintibi]

This is instantly my favourite thing you guys have done! I love the energy in the performamce. Amazing job!

[TokyoBlue]

So much fun, guys! I like the angel costume callback to the “Shantyman at Christmas” video!
