The Commuter's song part two Lyrics

As I walk down along Holy Family

And I look down the Highfield Steps

There's a bus at the station that'll take me to work

The one hundred express

is the bus I will get

We've never known of the times we could work at home

We put our earphones in and then we forget

How the Unions fell out with the IDA

How their children now

Are paying the debt

Propped up with good age and redundancy

A generation who creamed off the top

They took everything they could for their families

But we don't see them now

Here at the bus stop

At this shuttle town, we drive up and down

The days are long, where I come from

There's a Polish girl here standing next to me

She's got a sullen old look in her eyes

Over qualified but happily overpaid

She takes all the lows

Along with the highs

And an African girl who is smiling

She seems to have no great worries or cares

Her parents chose Drogheda the commuter town

Fair rent and good schools

Did answer their prayers

And O'Donnell has found it hard going

But he's managed to make him some friends

The Triathlon clubs been a godsend

Now he runs on the roads

And he swims at weekends

At this shuttle town

We drive up and down

The days are long

Where I come from

So we hit the road

We get along with it

From Ballsgrove

To up and along the Liffey River

We hit the road

We get along with it

From Ballsgrove

We're going along the Liffey River

We hit the road

We hit the road

We hit the road

And we get along with it
