I'll go to Elmley and she'll go to Holloway and we'll exchange hate mail almost everyday,
She's a right psycho but that don't bother me,
Even if love birds are jail birds they can still fly free,
Elmley to Holloway,
Hate mail everyday,
She's a right psycho but that don't bother me,
If love birds are jail birds they can still fly free.
Doomed love,
This is doomed love.
She'll put me straight if she thinks I'm mugging her,
She'll ring my neck like there's a landline to my jugular,
I need a tennis ball over the wall she's my smuggler,
I need three of them, she will be a juggler,
She'll pervert the course of justice,
And she'll intimidate any witness,
My anthrax envelope sealed with a kiss,
You talk nuff dirt with them lips.
I'll go to Elmley and she'll go to Holloway and we'll exchange hate mail almost everyday,
She's a right psycho but that don't bother me,
Even if love birds are jail birds they can still fly free,
Elmley to Holloway,
Hate mail everyday,
She's a right psycho but that don't bother me,
If love birds are jail birds they can still fly free.
Doomed love,
This is doomed love.
Verse 2
I'll straight make her a cake with a file in,
I'll pipe plastic explosive for icing,
Dynamite candles oh how enticing,
She needs freedom or she will start rioting,
I'll burn all the incriminating evidence,
While she pirouettes with ballet elegance,
We move as one with such excellerence,
We work well with long distance.
I'll go to Elmley and she'll go to Holloway and we'll exchange hate mail almost everyday,
She's a right psycho but that don't bother me,
Even if love birds are jail birds they can still fly free,
Elmley to Holloway,
Hate mail everyday,
She's a right psycho but that don't bother me,
If love birds are jail birds they can still fly free.

YEEEES!
YEEEES!
Twenty years later than I would have liked, but hells yes! I stumbled upon "No manners in Ireland" yesterday, cueing the easiest binge buy in a while. This is a nice blend of skillful instrumentalism, great lead voice and good tunes. The old Toasters / Madness / Bosstones fan in me is bouncing off the ceiling again. Thank you for that. You seem to be gathering steam as well. Here's to a long run! raphaelhythlodai

I can safely say I've never been this excited over a piece of plastic in my entire life! This is awesome! It's impossible to pick a favourite when every track is a banger. The lyrics are on point and delivered with an acerbic wit and passion that leaves me in no doubt that they're spoken from the heart. I need more of this in my life! Dylan Barry
