Gods Are Smiling

Lyrics

On the walls of the castle Glaswegian Gavin plays some tunes six Irish angels surround us and surely the gods are smiling too We know this can only get ugly but how brilliant that will be vodka with beer as a mixer while we sway to the sweet melodies Let me now sing what I failed to say dear friends may you hear this song some day I wish I had forever stayed and not been the fool who walked away We know this can only get ugly but how brilliant that will be vodka with beer as a mixer while we sway to the sweet melodies If the bus breaks down before old Prague town I know I'll be walking to my new friends pray we meet again I hope you're still laughing I look forward to the day when I finally might get a goodbye right but as that may be some time away I won't think of it again today We know this can only get ugly but how brilliant that will be vodka with beer as a mixer while we sway to the sweet melodies We know this can only get ugly but how brilliant that will be vodka with beer as a mixer while we sway to the sweet melodies
