Verse 1: Grian Chatten]
Did you know
I could claim the dreamer from the dream?
Make you feel
Everything you’ve never even seen
Yeah, it’s been
A long, a long, a long, a long, a long-long
You were my
Favourite for a long time

Verse 2: Grian Chatten]
Stitch and fall
The faces rearranged
You will see
Beauty give the way to something strange
Yeah, it’s been
A long, a long, a long, a long, a long-long
You were my
Favourite for a long time

[Chorus: Grian Chatten]
Well, look who’s just the newest clown
Thirty-five hours coming down
How the sun shines on new pavement
And you don’t even feel it
It’s a cry far from bed radios
And days spent playing football indoors
When they painted town with Thatcher
And they never even wanted to know ya

[Verse 3: Grian Chatten]
Feel alone?
I can split the sunshine to the day
Yeah and
Stick your heart to everything you say
Yeah
To be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
You were my favourite for a long time
You were my favourite for a long time

Interlude: Carlos O’Connell & Grian Chatten]
Favourite for a long time
Favourite for a long time
Favourite for a long time
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa) All the pieces last forever
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa) All the pieces last forever
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa) And all the pieces
Dara-dara-dara-dara-dara
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa) And all the pieces
Dara-da, dara-da

[Verse 4: Grian Chatten]
Did you know
Cities on return are often strange?
Yeah, and now
Every time you blink, you feel it change
And it’s been
A long, a long, a long, a long, long-long
You’ve been my
Favourite for a while

[Bridge: Grian Chatten]
Ah, it makes sense when you understand
The misery made me another marked man
And I’m always looking over my shoulder
And each new day, I get another year older
Shoulder bounce through the frame of a door
Chewed into shape like a stone on the shore
But if there was lightning in me
You’d know who it was for

Outro: Grian Chatten & Carlos O’Connell]
Did you know
I could claim the dreamer from the dream?
Make you feel
Everything you’ve never even seen
Yeah, it’s been
A long, a long, a long, a long, long-long
You were my
Favourite for a long time
(Favourite for a long time)
You were my favourite for a long time
(Favourite for a long time)
You were my favourite for a long time
(Favourite for a long time)
You were my favourite for a long time

What a great tune! It gives me a sense of nostalgia for my childhood and my past, and it’s sweet and painful at the same time.
You’re great guys!

Quel génie!!!!!!!!

New, BIG song on Yammat FM!

Kinda reminds me of the pogues! And i love the pogues

What a song! If it was just a minute and 20 seconds shorter, it’d be one of my 2024 favorites!

Conjures up nostalgia and melancholy blissfulness of years past

This song reminded me of my friend Melissa who died over 10 yrs ago. She loved British bands from the 80’s like The Smiths and Echo. The video and lyrics just really gutted me but in a good way I guess.

To know that Fontaines DC like St Pauli is the cherry on top
