about

Outside The Pale is a hard hitting classic sounding rock/pop tune about the boom and bust in Ireland of recent years and about the downfall of the Celtic Tiger. This song like all the rest on the album are extremely catchy from start to finish. You'll want to play this again and again......

lyrics

We grew up in a small town just outside the pale
30 miles from Dublin riding with the rails
The times they were the eighties when things were kinda tough
Where jobs they weren't many we tried from dawn till dusk

Outside the pale, without fail, they've ruined all of us
Outside the pale, without fail, they betrayed our trust

The rain it kept on pouring, pouring down on us
Drowning in the darkness it washed away the dust
Our hearts they were afflicted and heavy with the load
Still so dark and lonely it's a story long been told

Outside the pale, without fail, they've ruined all of us
Outside the pale, without fail, they betrayed our trust
Outside the pale, a holy grail, they ruined all of us
Outside the pale, now so frail, they betrayed our trust

The boom it started coming and change was on the cards
Then people started moving and swimming with the sharks
Greed to be the downfall of the tiger as he roared
Then back towards the old times we'd seen it all before

We left to move to Boston as my father did before
We had nothing in out pockets just pennies for our thoughts
So I went and packed my suitcase and headed for the plane
Hoping for a new start and let go of the pain

Outside the pale, without fail,  they've ruined all of  us
Outside the pale, without fail, they betrayed our  trust
Outside the pale, a holy grail, they ruined all of us 
Outside the pale, now so frail, they betrayed our trust
