Lyrics Guests of the Nation - Horslips

Guests of the Nation

There’s too much rain for drive-in movies.
Instead they built a late night rendezvous.
You might get lucky, it’s understood that it’s up to you.
There every black dress hides a story
And every story happy-ends with you.
You don’t believe it?
It’s understood that it’s strictly true.
So try the shuffle and see.
Try out the steps 'cos the lesson’s free.
Try the shuffle and see.
That you’re guests of the nation.
And you’ll never have to pay.
You’re guests of the nation and you can dream 'til break of day.
You’re guests of the nation.
And you can dance your life away
Winter brings its own surprises
Winds of change to chill you through and through
And though you blame it on time it’s understood that the blame’s on you.
You wrap up close and shrug your shoulders
Nobody needs to tell you what to do.
And if it comes to the crunch you can show them a thing or two
So try…
