The Pat O'Connor Project
We are the Pat O'Connor Project. We have been experimenting writing songs for about 3 years now and have come up with a good amount of songs. We have had only the chance to record one but it is a great one.
Props to Shayne with some crazy lyrics and guitar, Tom on guitar, Jimmy Kehoe on bass and vocals, and Sean on Vocals.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We have been writing songs for years like I said. Our songs vary from meaningful emo acoustics to TBS style fast songs. We have just recorded a new song. Check the lyrics.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes. Cwallll. We deal with it. Festival of the arts was our first performance.
Your musical influences
Taking back sunday, Brand new, etc
Anything else?
Lyrics to new song:
My eyes are blistered, calloused and broken
The tears ran dry on the words unspoken
A thousand regrets from these trifling trials
To match your constant second hand smiles
And the
Loser you’re with can rot at the bottom
Quick to decay, and quickly forgotten
Each day I’ll go to curse his reflection
Curse his reflection, curse his reflection
And you should know how “completely tragic”
It’d be if he wandered in traffic
A “semi” to crush his heart through his spine
Like the splattered mess you made of mine
These lonely strings are gonna ring till they
Fall from tune or snap and break
I don't care if the air outside is restless
Cause the volume here is on full heartache
These lonely strings are gonna ring till they
(This angry ballad will blare from the tower)
Fall from tune or snap and break
(Green glow lighting up the final hour)
I don't care if the air outside is restless
(Today’s leaving forever so watch your step)
Cause the volume here is on full heartache
(Burning pictures and circuits trying to forget)
I’m hoping your worthless prince takes a drink
From every bottle beneath his kitchen sink
A bleach cocktail with ammonia to follow
“Bottoms up you fool, go ahead and swallow”
“Burn away the voice that melts her eyes”
“And drown away all of your infectious lies”
“You’ll die cold and alone, void of a friend”
“And you’ll see me smile before the end”
(Forget, second hand (x6))
The looks that we shared
And the faults in our stare
I was so unprepared
Just so nervous and scared
The second hand ticks
That we ran down so quick
The news you “let slip”
Like being hit with a brick
A swift kick to the face
As I fell from your grace
And took second place
Just a “new change in taste”
But tell me I’m wrong
With every word of this song
Cause I know before long
You’ll adore that he’s gone
I smile just for you
And thats how i'm repaid
I smile just for you
(with a kick, and a shove, signed with all, of my love)
And thats how i'm repaid
(Sealed up tight, with a kiss, crumpled in, enraged fists)
My eyes burn just for you
And thats how i'm repaid
My eyes burn just for you
(A “lost cause?”, I don’t lose, I can take, that abuse)
And thats how i'm repaid
(I’ll forgive, I’ll forget, I’ll go back, no regrets)
