What are you thinking, my love
Over there in the arms of somebody
Is all your dreaming about
Standing next to me
We were young and amused
Now we're dancing to a tune
We can't be who we used to be
Dublin in ecstasy

We got high from time to time
I recalled the shiver
Running down my spine
I can see the city in the glass of your eye
And when you take your shot
I'll be there this time
This time

Where the arc lights
Used to dampen and die
We were never thinking much
Only sometimes

We got high from time to time
I recalled the shiver
Running down my spine
I can see the city in the glass of your eye
And when you take your shot
I'll be there this time
Dublin in ecstasy

I only want to speak if you have the time
I only wanna fight if it's for your life
I only wanna speak if you have the time
Not just a friend of a friend of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

In The Modern World

Skinty Fia is an Irish phrase which translates to English as “the damnation of the deer” and the album’s cover art features a deer, plucked from its natural habitat and deposited in the hallway of a home, illuminated by an artificial red glow. The Irish giant deer is an extinct species and the band’s thoughts on Irish identity are central to Skinty Fia. While Dogrel was littered with snapshots of the Dublin characters -  like the cabbie in “Boys In The Better Land” - and A Hero’s Death documented the dislocation and disconnection the band felt as they traveled the globe on tour, on Skinty Fia Fontaines D.C. are addressing their Irishness from afar as they recreate new lives for themselves elsewhere. For a band whose hometown courses through their veins -  “D.C.” stands for “Dublin City” - the album finds them trying to resolve the need to broaden their horizons with the affection they still feel for the land and people they’ve left behind.
