Irishman Video (MV)

Met a funny Irishman that told it all to me
There're many people out there, who'd rather live at the sea
But they're running out of codfish, and they're running out of bream
And you're sailing in a stew of plastic, and oil and things you can't see
But there's something deep in there, you just have to see

Then his friend came to me, with a pint of pitch black beer
He had an anchor tattooed on his arm, and fish scales behind his ear
He said they're running out of codfish, and there isn't too much eel
And the sea itself is growing older, and angrier, and warmer and mean
But there's something deep in there, you just have to see

So I went in the sea, and I saw a big fight
I got strangled by the octopi and slapped by a flatfish
I hid in the weeds and avoided the light
Then talked to some mermaids, and got saved by the dolphins
And they took me to a place, you wouldn't believe

Met a lovely Irish girl, who was staring at the sea
When she saw me crawl out of the water
She gave a little smile at me
I said they're running out of codfish, and I didn't see much brill
But there's something deep in there, you just have see
