about
"Over time, Knock made its way into the Big Four of Pilgrimage sites in Europe, jostling with Medjugorje for the title of Third-Best-On-The-List." (p. 16)
lyrics
Drove right over the island, Somebody’s had enough
Of morning DJs taking absolute guff
Sunrise low in December and you can’t remember leaving the house
The worst coffee ever created burning your mouth
Sitting in line, living just half of the time, Sitting in line, going right out of my mind
Drove right over the border, The grass is the greener
The further you drive, Green and red flags to greet you as you arrive
A congregation of no one And there is no one ringing the bells
For the 7th son of a 7th somebody else
Waiting in line, living just half of the time
Sitting in line, going right out of my mind
Caught out in dreamland
In every home is a healer, the brother handles the cash
Freezing cold baptisms out on Lough Mask
In every home is a header,but they’re getting better they like to think
If you wanna leave you just have to ask
Of morning DJs taking absolute guff
Sunrise low in December and you can’t remember leaving the house
The worst coffee ever created burning your mouth
Sitting in line, living just half of the time, Sitting in line, going right out of my mind
Drove right over the border, The grass is the greener
The further you drive, Green and red flags to greet you as you arrive
A congregation of no one And there is no one ringing the bells
For the 7th son of a 7th somebody else
Waiting in line, living just half of the time
Sitting in line, going right out of my mind
Caught out in dreamland
In every home is a healer, the brother handles the cash
Freezing cold baptisms out on Lough Mask
In every home is a header,but they’re getting better they like to think
If you wanna leave you just have to ask
