about
This is named after Galway House, a tower block Ned lived in for a while in Shoreditch. Not the town in west Ireland.
lyrics
3 years on the 15th floor
Took me two more just to shut the door
Wake up with the setting sun
Taste in my mouth of last night's rum
A place where we could all hide
From the rest of our lives
I'm blinded
By the flashing lights
Money flows through my hands every night
Propped up by the weight of sound
Don't look me up on your way down
Fist fights with middle aged men
We're down the Eagle again
Come on and listen
To our transmission
This is Radio Galway
We'll broadcast to the town
Until they knock it down
Come on and listen
To the last transmission
Of Radio Galway
We've broadcast to the town
And now they've knocked us down
Radio Galway died today
The lift is out of order
And that's just fine by me
Cos I can't face you
Can't take more misery
Go if you've got to go
Don't take the Radio
Cos I can't get by
