    It's not just me then, it really does sound like they lazily rewrote "And She Was".

    Just tried to pick it up in a well known Irish music chain and they told me they didn't get it in!? Will have to pick it up tomorrow in town.

    They bore me quite a bit too actually...the lyrics to the new song don't make any sense as far as I can see too!:confused:

    Much as I'd like to champion one of the few proponents of Kildare-rock, I can't get into them at all. Far too arch, and "clever" for my liking, without the songs to back it up. New songs seem to suggest they want to sound like Talking Heads, but it's just not doing anything for me.

    I got the new CD Friday afternoon, but only got to listen to the first 5 songs so far.
    Me likes :)
