We are a collection of musicians who write and record stuff in different combinations. More a collection of songwriters than a band really.
2 of us live in Nor
The Snooker Hooligans are divided by the Irish Sea, but still manage to get time here and there to write and record either in Ireland or North Wales. There is a large catalouge of tunes in varying states, all being worked on to present on this site, hopefully for your pleasure. Also, we are now getting going on producing tracks recorded and mixed in both countries. Tunes you find here will be written and recorded by different combinations of 5 members. Russ (Me) and Ste in North Wales, Martin and Jase in Dublin and John in Belfast. Hope you find something you like, and thanks for looking and listening.
Story behind the song
No real story to this.
We wrote the music first, then the lyrics just came in about 20 mins.
It basically about flirting with a girl whos playing hard to get. Simple stuff. We had actually been climing ladders and painting walls earlier in the day, so some came from that. I also 2 Magpies in the field.
Lyrics
One for sorrow, two for joy,
Don't be shy, dont be coy,
'Cos I know that you know, I'd like to know you well.
I've admiring your style, I'd chase you for a thousand miles,
You name the time and place, and I'll be there.
So I've layed my cards on your table,
Don't worry, I'm mentally stable,
I just know what I like, and I like what I see.
I'm aware of the fine line, but Ill cross it cos there ain't enough time,
To miss a good chance, to mess around with.
Lazy days and crazy night,
Arguements and pillows fights,
Meals for two and walks in the park,
I can put shelves, but I'm scared of the dark.
So why are you playing so hard to get?
You don't even know me yet,
The higher I climb, the further I fall,
Trying to get with you is like painting walls.
So why you making me work so hard?
So why you making me work so hard?
You cast your line, now reel me in,
We're wasting time, why don't you let me in?
I was treading water when you swept me away,
If you save my life I'll always stay.
The higher I climb, the further I fall,
Trying to get with you is like painting walls.
The higher I climb, the further I fall,
Trying to get with you is like painting walls.
