Gentlemen, start your axes

It was winter, it was cold 
I was lost in the world of my own 
I was bent double at the end of the road 
Pissing my suicide note in the snow 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 

I'd stopped the world and I was getting off 
When a white flash nearly made my heart stop 
I said "this is either Jesus, aliens or cops" 
It was neither, it was Joey Dunlop 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 

So hats off 
For Joey Dunlop 

One day you'll go to the great big bar in the sky 
Everybody's free, everybody flies 
The greats gonna be there, you wouldn't wanna miss it 
Me, George Best and Hurricane Higgins 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 

So hats off 
For Joey Dunlop 
Auh! 

Yeah! 
So hats off, hats off 
For Joey Dunlop
