    this is one of those songs that make you feel nostalgic for something that probably never happened. for a dream you once had, or just for a particular way the sun shone at that one day when you were a child.
    one of those few songs that make you feel like this. remarkable.

    I'm in my 40's and i heard this track for the first time on Irish radio a few days ago ... My God, when i heard the melody to this ingenious track, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! The feeling of hope, being alive and so many other emotions came home to roost while i sat in my car. These guys are very talented and gifted musicians. Although the vocals are very catchy while giving you those feelings of going though life's trials and tribulations, i would love to play an instrumental version of North Circular over and over again... Thank you.

    For some reason when I listen to this, my whole childhood in Paris flashes before my eyes, memories of a time I had my parents with me and a time I was innocent. Very nostalgic song for me, even though I only heard it for the first time a few months ago. Can't explain it, it's like I've known this my whole life.

    I'm 22 and this reminds me of a huge road trip I took with my friends 2 years ago. They came from Edinburgh but picked me in London. We then went from London across the channel to France, then Andorra, Spain, France, then Italy, Slovenia, Croatia (Festival for a week), then Slovenia, Austria, Germany (2 friends went back home after), Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, took a flight to Milan (my ex gf was Italian and I met her on this trip), then back to the UK. Man I want to do that again! :)
    Thanks for triggering such good feelings.

    Locked out, like a dog in the rain
    Bag on my shoulder and a pocket full of change
    To bus's mercy in the early morning light
    What did you do on Saturday night?
    Please take me back to where I used to be
    The road we used to share together, you and me
    I can’t say for right or true or wrong
    All I can say is I know where I belong
    Post-ice, family of white lines and The Irish Times
    The men who drink in A-road pubs and rave flyers
    All lost in the same sea
    I hear them say it’s all yours, maestro if you just give in to me
    Give in to me
    Suicide bridge and the morning watch
    The royal fumes and fate wires and the things that pick up and kick off
    And the roar of the spit on the roads, the central reservation
    The rapturous players at the petrol station
    I love the smell of the fumes coming through the window
    But you always rolled the window up
    So I’ll have a cigarette and play with the crescendo
    I never knew but I had to give it up
    These days I'm the wrong side of the window
    Thought I saw your place, you didn’t let me in, though
    These days I say sorry a lot more
    Never sure if it’s the bailiffs at the door
    But I still walk the same road at night
    Watch the same rain melt the same lights
    Bag on my shoulder and a pocket full of rage
    How many late nights does it take you to change?
    Always thought you were holding me back
    But it turns out you were just holding me together, well
    I'm making a moves, yeah, I'm big time, crashing though
    I'll walk for years in the hills of a hero
    Suicide bridge and the morning watch
    The royal fumes and fate wires and the things that pick up and kick off
    And the roar of the spit on the road, the central reservation
    The rapturous players at the petrol station
    Come down over the hill, the lights in the distance glimmering
    All shiney lit up for me and a little for you, too
    Or so I thought
    Or so I thought
    These days I'm the wrong side of the window
    Thought I saw your place, you didn’t let me in, though
    These days I say sorry a lot more
    Never sure if it’s the bailiffs at the door
    But I still walk the same streets at night
    Watch the same rain melt the same lights
    Bag on my shoulder and a pocket full of rage
    How many late nights does it take you to change?
