Me Heart Is Livin' in the Sixties Still
Nostalgic Echoes: A Journey Through Time with The Saw Doctors
Lyrics
I was smokin' joints, poppin' pills
I engaged in smoking joints and taking pills
And now I'm feelin' ill
As a consequence, I now feel unwell
OH me heart is livin' in
Expressing nostalgia for the past, particularly the 1960s
The sixties still
The speaker's heart remains in the 1960s era
I took off me clothes in the Odeon
I undressed in the Odeon cinema
Just to watch the Woodstock film
For the purpose of watching the Woodstock film
OH me heart is livin' in
The speaker's heart is still immersed in the 1960s
The sixties still
Continuation of the sentiment that the speaker's heart is stuck in the 1960s
J.F.K. was gettin' shot down
Referring to the assassination of J.F.K.
When Joe Kelly married Phil
During the same period, Joe Kelly married Phil
OH me heart is livin' in
Emphasizing the speaker's emotional attachment to the 1960s
The sixties still
Reiteration of the enduring connection to the 1960s
Bob Dylan says timed are changin'
Quoting Bob Dylan's famous line "The times they are a-changin'"
But I know they never will
The speaker doubts that times will truly change
OH me heart is livin' in
Despite societal changes, the speaker's heart remains in the 1960s
The sixties still
Reaffirmation of the enduring connection to the 1960s
When Johneen Donnellan held the Sam Maguire
Referencing Johneen Donnellan holding the Sam Maguire Cup in Gaelic football
I was standin' on the hill
The speaker was present on the hill during this significant event
OH me heart is livin' in
Expression of the lasting impact of the 1960s on the speaker's heart
The sixties still
Reiteration of the speaker's emotional connection to the 1960s
When the Beatles says "She loves you"
Recalling a moment when the Beatles sang "She loves you"
It's your biggest teenage thrill
Highlighting the profound excitement experienced during teenage years
OH me heart is livin' in
The speaker's heart remains entrenched in the 1960s
The sixties still
Reaffirmation of the enduring connection to the 1960s
