Oh, the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people, they were dancing
To the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til 4
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight

Great lyrics thanks for posting
I can't stop listening to this! It remind me of my Dad (who passed away last summer) & we're a very Irish family.
What county I’m donegal
I’m Dublin 💯
You'll never beat the Irish 🇮🇪
And me god bless ye
Im donegal
😊😊
Amy Mcdonald, what a song you have given us Irish
Amy mcdonald is scottish
Plus she hates the tarriers
On repeat now for days. My family is losing their minds , I am in heaven however! So much fun, brilliant cover!
A
Great number for the neighbours at 4am. Really rattles that ol coffin dodger next door in his motorised wheelchair. BZZT BZZT CLICK. This'l get him😂😂😂
class same here there saying are you not sick of listening to that song never listening every day number of times 😂😂👍🎵
@@anthonyosullivan2626 Fabulous positive energy. My power walking anthem. Thank you AMY❤️❤️❤️
First-time listener 1-1-24 & now it's always on repeat. I absolutely love it.
blown away by this, what a cover performance! 👑
I Everton fan as well
This is by far one of the best Live Irish Tunes on the internet at the moment.... can't get enough of it!! Well done lads!
An Amy McDonald song.
Amy is Scottish
@@oisinoceallaigh97 Aye Amy is Scottish and she's well happy that these lads perform her song way better than she does🤗
Don't forget the Murphy's and paddy's hats❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
@@garyfraser6523😊pp 90 lo person plots0lp😊😊😊
Good Irish band but the song is Scottish. It was written and recorded by Amy MacDonald from Glasgow Scotland.
So Irish heritage in Scotland ? May want to learn a bit of history
And what
Ah the Lads are Grand! I’m age 70 and you just cheered me up, pushed the crutches away and got carried away…..All the Best, Old Irishman 🇮🇪
Keep on moving!
Please.😊
Great version, love that Banjo player
Go to bed old Byrne.
@@creekykneeshut ur mouth.
Some artists do covers, this is totally on another level... This is just so good
This has been on repeat for weeks now. Can't get enough. Best cover ever ❤❤
This is spectacular lads, this is on loop in my head! I could never do this song so fast! Well done!
If only Ireland could muster the same spirit and resolve to face their actual enemy. The country and all it's traditions and history is on the brink of being lost if the people don't stand up soon
I was driving from Dublin to Galway just now listening to talk radio and decided to stick this on and turn it up to max, the journey home had a different vibe lol
First time hearing these guys and I can't stop listening to them now
Ya cant beat the auld irish,
Can't stop playing this song absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤
Same love it 🇮🇪👍💙
I can stop listening to this song banger❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Truly a great a song as anything that came out of the late 70’s early 80’s ..too bad they never had the coverage they needed to get this song out of Canada where the world could of appreciated it.
Dancing around the living room with the dog.
This is unbelievable lads 🎶 I literally can't stop listening to it!! Best version of this song ever 👌🎶🎶
Still Amy is amazing
Good cover converting the original to Irish folk music, but no comparison to the original.
Brilliant 🇮🇪🏴
Me too, thinking of my Dad pass away 14 years now❤❤

Absolute legends for sticking this banger on Spotify, severely underrated
It's a speeded up cover

It was on spotify years before as an original recording by Amy Macdonald@@EmilyChristiansen-j3b
Wow. I love the original, but this is an absolute banger of a cover!!!
I'm from Ireland and I love my country❤❤❤

Eyebrows raised when it first started playing, 2 min in singing along and having a little jig, excellent cover
Great cover, I'd love to see those lads live
Wait, this song's brilliant! It makes me want to climb a mountain and jump in a lake. Swimming to the other side and continue running.

amy macdonald a very talented singer/songwriter.
My dad died last year and I can't stop listen to this
Bit wierd for a death song?
@@steany241shut up
@@steany241my uncle death song was wonderwall
This way better than the original
He tin whistle CARRIED the whole preformance! 💃✨
Such a humble instrument yet so powerful in the right circumstances, was in an Irish bar in benidorm years ago and one of the band members used about 6 different whistles (not at once obviously) but would change periodically throughout the tunes being played sometimes utilitizing 2 or 3 whistles in a single tune , class , place was jumping every night.
Yeah 👍
I agree how hood
No it didn't, all played the part
@@snelgrave101
Wat was the bar called as I’m going in 3weeks time. Cheers
best version i have ever heard of this number fantastic lads you’ll never beat the IRISH
Not better than the original
@@glenrock1000 Amy McDonald wrote this i think and just listened to her version but this is better imo🎵
@@studslannigan6286 it's the easiest thing to improve on another persons songs.
@@brucecollins641 No one has ever improved on the Pogues Fairytale of New York🎵🎻🎸🥁🎵
@@studslannigan6286 never listened to it much...don't like the drunken style o singing. heard enough o that when a was a youngster at hoose pirtys. a like kirsty mccoll part . a don't think anybody can rival amys sangs, after all....she writes and sings her own sangs. a very talented woman.she's got a 138million hits on this sang alone.
Beautiful rendition of this Song well Done Lads
A good version buys really good but the original is better and shes Scottish and a great accent to Glasgow
