    Now this is how rock and roll should be played, i’m glad these guys are getting recognition in the states because they blow radio rock bands out of the water

    When the guitar cut out, they knew this take was screwed, so they went all in and said "let's tear this place up!" and it made the whole performance even more powerful and real. These guys have come to single-handedly save music and I am here to cheer them on!

    You're not alive until you start kicking
    When the room is spinning and the words ain't sticking

    With a face like sin and a heart like a James Joyce novel
    Saying sister, sister, how I missed ya, missed ya
    Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister
    If you're a rockstar, pornstar, superstar, doesn't matter what you are
    Get yourself a good car, get outta here

    And he's ref reshing the world in mind, body and spirit
    Mind body and spirit
    You better hear it and fear it
    Oh, that's the spirit

      It's saying how this person "spits out" the words 'Brits out' in a sense of anglophobia. "Only smokes Carrolls" refers to how he only smokes Irish cigarettes in his wanting to be a pure Irishman.

    IMO Fontaines are more of a folk band. they're nothing like their Peers, like idles. none of their post punk peers can play their songs to you round a campfire. this new album romance has sent me. its so good. it gives R.E.M a run for their money. the new Fontaines tunes make me feel as excited as I was when I first heard REM at 8 years old.
