[Intro: Neil Fallon]
Gentlemen, start your axes
[Verse 1: Andy Cairns]
It was winter, it was cold
I was lost in a world of my own
I was bent double at the end of the road
Pissing my suicide note in the snow
[Refrain: Andy Cairns]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
[Verse 2: Andy Cairns]
I'd stopped the world and I was getting off
When a white flash nearly made my heart stop
I said, "this is either Jesus, aliens or cops"
It was neither, it was Joey Dunlop
[Refrain: Andy Cairns]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
[Chorus: Andy Cairns]
So hats off for Joey Dunlop
[Verse 3: Andy Cairns]
One day you'll go to the great big bar in the sky
Everybody's free, everybody flies
The greats will be there, you wouldn't want to miss it
Me, George Best and Hurricane Higgins
[Refrain: Andy Cairns]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
[Chorus: Andy Cairns]
So hats off for Joey Dunlop
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Andy Cairns]
So hats off for Joey Dunlop
