What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Na nana na na na
2
A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado
3
A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm
4
Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu
5
And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far
6
This is the story so far, aaa aaa aaa
7
Shuffling your memories, dealing your doodles in margins
8
You scrawl out your poems across a beermat or two
9
And when you declare the point of grave creation
10
They turn 'round and ask you to tell them the story so far
11
This is the story so far, aaa aaa
12
And you listen with a tear in your eye
13
To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply
14
Is Slainte Mhath
15
Princes in exile raisin' the standard Drambuie
16
Paradin' their anecdotes tired from old campaigns
17
Holdin' their own last orders commanding attention
18
And we sit here and listen to all of the story so far
19
This is the story so far, aaa aaa aaa
20
Take it away, take it away, take it away
21
Take me away, take me away, take me away, take me away
22
Take me away
23
From the dream on the barbed wire at Flanders and Bilston Glen
24
From the Clyde side that rusts from the tears of its broken men
25
From the realization that all we've been left behind
26
Is to stand like our fathers before us in the firing line
27
Waiting on the whistle to blow
28
We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow
29
They promised us miracles, and the whistle still blows
30
Broken promises but the whistle still blows
31
Waiting on the whistle to blow
32
We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow
