《Come On Eileen》歌词

[00:06:32] Come on Eileen

[00:06:32] Swear [La La

[00:06:32] [La La La

[00:06:32] Pretty white dress

[00:06:32] [La La La La

[00:06:32] [La La La La

[00:06:32] Come on Elieen

[00:06:32] Compare this to the real chorus:

[00:06:32] Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)

[00:06:32] At this moment, you mean everything

[00:06:32] With you in that dress my thoughts I confess

[00:06:32] Verge on dirty

[00:06:32] Ah come on Eileen

[00:06:32] The verses are also a little difficult to understand mainly due to the

[00:06:32] Backing vocals frequently singing over the top of the lead singers words.

[00:06:32] Sometimes these backing vocals are repeating parts of the verse, at other

[00:06:32] Times they are adding in words. furthermore, some words are barely audible

[00:06:32] While others in the middle of the line tend to be stretched out - giving the

[00:06:32] Impression that it is either the last word in a line or the start of

[00:06:32] Another, when in fact it is in the middle.

[00:06:32] This vocal structure gives the song is characteristic sound, and makes it a

[00:06:32] Lot of fun to sing along. you don't really need to know the lyrics, just

[00:06:32] Throw in the occasional 'come on eileen', 'everything', 'torra loora rye

[00:06:32] Aye' and '..ess'. if you want a crack at the lyrics, here they are:

[00:06:32] Come on Eileen

[00:06:32] Dexy's Midnight Runners (Dexys Midnight Runners)

[00:06:32] Poor old Johnny Ray

[00:06:32] Sounded sad upon the radio

[00:06:32] He moved a million hearts in mono

[00:06:32] Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them

[00:06:32] Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever

[00:06:32] Go toora loora toora loo rye aye

[00:06:32] And we can sing just like our fathers

[00:06:32] Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)

[00:06:32] At this moment, you mean everything

[00:06:32] With you in that dress my thoughts I confess

[00:06:32] Verge on dirty

[00:06:32] Ah come on Eileen

[00:06:32] These people round here wear beaten down eyes

[00:06:32] Sunk in smoke dried faces

[00:06:32] They're so resigned to what their fate is

[00:06:32] But not us, no not us

[00:06:32] We are far too young and clever

[00:06:32] Eileen I'll sing this tune forever

[00:06:32] Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)

[00:06:32] Ah come on, let's take off everything

[00:06:32] That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)

[00:06:32] Ah come on Eileen
