Still Blue - Honeysuckle Daydream 03:04
lyrics
buy track
My drunks friends crying About her boyfriend lying again I see her welling up, think she’s given up It’s only half past ten And she started saying that I’m the most humane person she’s come across Well, I don’t believe you, that couldn’t be true Sure you met the girl from ‘Lost’ I’m all over the chip shop Spilled drink on your white socks Can barely see in the cutlery drawer But, you’re all Caught up in my honeysuckle daydream Hoping you won’t wake ‘fore the end And you’re dying to tell me what you seen Making sense of what it meant You left your jacket in my house And I didn’t know how to tell you about it On me, it fits a little loose So I just took it when I moved Our annual meeting Too many feelings fleeting the moment I see you Do you remember last december? When it all came to I’m all over the chip shop Spilled drink on your white socks Can barely see in the cutlery drawer But, you’re all Caught up in my honeysuckle daydream Hoping you won’t wake ‘fore the end And you’re dying to tell me what you seen Making sense of what it meant Caught up in my honeysuckle daydream Hoping you won’t wake ‘fore the end And you’re dying to tell me what you seen Making sense of what it meant Now it’s 6am You’re wondering when you’ll see me again Heads spinning like a basketball and you’re all Caught up in my honeysuckle daydream Hoping you won’t wake ‘fore the end And you’re dying to tell me what you seen Making sense of what it meant Caught up in my honeysuckle daydream Hoping you won’t wake ‘fore the end And you’re dying to tell me what you seen Making sense of what it meant Meant Meant

Stop walking around with your head down You said it, you, yeah you said it to me They’ll like you better if you’re a little more proud You know it, you, yeah you know it baby And if I knew us at all I’d say Go and get it, go, lets go and get it baby We’ve gotten too used to the long way round We’re taking a step back you know We’ll end up the same place we always go We both know we’re never gonna figure it out, it out We’re far too young to let these big little words just fade out, fade out You look cooler dancing to the half beat You said it, you, yeah you said it to me You swept me off my two left feet You know it, you, yeah you know it baby And the only lie I ever told you I lied you know, you know I lied Was when I said I hope I forget you But I never could forget We’re taking a step back you know We’ll end up the same place we always go We both know we’re never gonna figure it out, it out We’re far too young to let these big little words just fade out, fade out And you know I’ve never been the one to end a call, end the call baby Oh darling, we’re praying for our own downfall How far will we go to find out what we already know? And how far will we go to end up, the same place we always go? We both know we’re never gonna figure it out, it out We’re far too young to let these big little words just fade out, fade out And you know I’ve never been the one to end a call, end the call baby Oh darling, we’re praying for our own downfall

Don’t judge me until you’ve walked a day with my head You wouldn’t blame me for wanting to stay in bed My mammy says that it’s best to stay busy But how can I do that, oh, when I’m feeling dizzy? Couch surfing, I should be in the olympics Every breakfast starts to feel like a picnic When you’re eating with a plate on a pillow Well, I bet you didn’t think it’d get this low I can tell my right from my left but I can’t tell My right from wrong, ‘cause if I could, I would've left A long time ago You should know me, That no matter what, I’m still feeling fuzzy I’m still fuzzy I cut across people when they try to talk I don’t mean to it’s just something that I’ve been taught ‘Cause I wouldn't get a word in edgeways, Only when you took a day off on Tuesdays I can’t remember what I used to be all about But the soles of my shoes are all worn out So I must be walking to something Well, I guess that it’s better than nothing I can tell my right from my left but I can’t tell My right from wrong, ‘cause if I could, I would've left A long time ago You should know me, That no matter what, I’m still feeling fuzzy I’m still fuzzy Oh’s … I can tell my right from my left but I can’t tell My right from wrong, ‘cause if I could, I would've left A long time ago You should know me, That no matter what, I’m still feeling fuzzy Oh’s …

I beg of you to take me I’ve been rehearsing in my sleep But I fear of what you’ll think of me I’ll be a whore indefinitely I ask you would you like to taste ‘cause babe I wasn’t raised with grace Don’t mistake me for a pretty face I’m just a body covered up in lace Naive in a closed off room Why do ya gotta leave so soon? Oh, well I wish I could’ve thought it through but I would do anything for you ooh This bed for one was made for two When the kettle boiled, I warmed up to idea That this wasn’t through I’ll get on top for a better view Now I’m diluted, I’m not mine I’m yours And I’ll shout as you leave that you’re a bore Well, the rain will replace your snore But babe, I don’t want anything more Naive in a closed off room Why do ya gotta leave so soon? Oh, well I wish I could’ve thought it through but I would do anything for you, ooh ooh Well, it’s taking all I have to give it, to give it What will it take for you to give in, to give in? It’s taking all I have to give it, to give it What will it take for you to give in, to give in, to give in, to give in? Naive in a closed off room Why do ya gotta leave so soon? Oh, well I wish I could’ve thought it through but I would do anything for you Silence never felt so loud Trying to feel more proud Of the things that I do For myself and not for you but it’s all for you Oh, it’s all for you I’m just a body covered up in lace Sit on my face

Hills of Donegal 04:08
lyrics

Drawn to you in the opening of springtime I've come to see your perfect performance Peeking out of your pocket, a velcro camo wallet You’re still clinging to your innocence And I know you won’t ever apologise Sure you don't think that you’ve done anything wrong Telling me, a summer fling, that I am everything You’ll search to find what you had all along You’ll search to find what you had all along A talk fuelled by alcohol dehydration Is that what it takes for you to know? Singing police cars and screeching birds ‘Cause all you hear is backwards I guess the rhythm of my heart told you to go And you know that you took my care for granted But I guess that we’ve always been that way I’m a narcissist apologist, writing a pros and cons list I don’t know why I’d want you to stay The swans now gather on the banks Of the grey waters of the canal I think a gust of wind just might fill up my appetite Maybe I wasn’t hungry after all Oh, a touch to the love-starved is holy A sacred feed to surely cure all Now, I’m offended by a quesadilla My mam will never meet ya Walking up the hills of Donegal

about

‘All Over The Chip Shop’ is our debut EP. We’ve been writing tracks for the project since Summer of 2020 so it's been a while in the making. For these tracks, Nicole’s been the primary songwriter but we’ve arranged and produced the tracks together to how they are now. “I try to stay in the flow of writing all the time by writing random lyrics down or recording a little melody when they pop into my head so they’re not lost. All of the songs on the EP were written just on an acoustic guitar in my room and were brought to life in rehearsals with the rest of the gang. It’s been so lovely to see the evolution of it all” (Nicole, lead singer). We recorded the songs firstly as demos in Ruairi’s home house in Monaghan and then went up to Belfast to finalise everything with Matt Weir. It was our first time working with another producer and recording in a real studio which made it really exciting for us.
The title ‘All Over The Chip Shop’ comes from a lyric in ‘Honeysuckle Daydream’. It stems from the saying of being all over the shop and feeling like you don't have your life together. We thought it was a funny line to highlight and it does a good job of expressing how messy your early 20’s really are - being young, in love and drunk in a dirty chipper.
