(Gentlemen, start your axes)

It was winter, it was cold

I was lost in a 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 will be there, you wouldn't want to miss it

Me, George Best and Hurricane Higgins

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

So hats off for Joey Dunlop

Yeah

So hats off, hats off for Joey Dunlop
