Born Slipping Lyrics by Joy Orbison

Still Slipping Vol. 1

2021

Say yes to me

Say yes to me

So, yeah, where's Keith?
When we went to Ireland, they gave us two bottles, they wrap it up
In paper or something
Like Holy water?
It's not, and...Mickie gave it to me, said "give this to your dad"
'Cause he likes a bit of Porcini, he said stick that in your [?]
So I said, "What, what, what happens if we get caught by customs?"
Well "Just tell 'em it was Holy water 'cause people from Ireland bring Holy water back"
So I said, "What about if they drink it, if they tilt it?"
He said, "Well, tell them it's a miracle then"

But they do believe in all that
I mean, there's a, there's another little treat by Macy's, isn't there?
Well, but Jimmy's, Jimmy's house, it's part of a ferry loop within Ireland
If I lived there, I'd probably be going there leaving things for them
I would (Yeah)
I would, see, I'd go down there, it's so fasci— fascinating
But look at— what's that place, the little church thing that, where Macy lives, across the road?
We was going around all the things there (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
What was that? Um— [?]
[?]
We was drinking it
You did, you went— you did, he went, "I'm gonna drink some," he said
See if it's gonna do my feet any good
But that was quite nice to have there (Yeah)
I can't remember, I can't remember the girls
Can't have been that good then? (Hahaha)
