opera on the top floor lyrics
[verse 1]
status quo blasts from a jukebox
the lads i grew up with play air guitar, conjuring youth
hutched at the bar, i hear dreams that turned to dust
till i ring out for last call

[verse 2]
a pint takes a minute to settle
the creamy head rises and lands like a chorus of hums
regulars catching my eye to change their tune
but i ain’t a conductor

[chorus]
i got opera on the top floor
violins cry and arias explode
i’m riding with those valkyries to lohengrin
i got my own valhalla in listowel

[verse 3]
the boyos sing elvis and skiffle
perched with their porter like vulture chicks waiting to hatch
races and darts don’t soothe the soul
i’m a fish out of water

[verse 4]
a child of pragues beedy eye judges
he might blow the whistle if my world collided with theirs
after the final, john gave us a drunk nessun dorm
and for once i felt kinship
[chorus]
i got opera on the top floor
violins cry and arias explode
i’m riding with those valkyries to lohengrin
i got my own valhalla in listowel

[post*chorus]
and that opera on the top floor
no one knows, it’s under lock and key
the needle hits the vinyl, i’m away on the wind
every secret needs a sanctuary
