Foolishly I followed you to Dublin
Like a ghost I walked the streets of Temple Bar
And all the bright young things were throwing up their Guinness in the gutters
…
And every fucking city’s just the same.
Sorry about the expletives, but it wouldn’t be the same if they were removed. This song has always been one of my favourites from Paul Kelly. It makes me laugh every time. While my boyfriend (pictured) travelled around Europe, I tried to do a few things from the song.
I followed him to Dublin.
I sent him an email when he reached the port of Amsterdam (and I made it sound like I wasn’t alone).
When I go on my own Europe trip at the end of this year, fingers crossed I can get to a nightclub in Helsinki, and they better bloody play ‘La Vida Loca’ (once again)! And it’s on my list to order sandwiches in seven different languages.
I took this photo in Temple Bar, Dublin.
Arriverderci, au revoir, aufwiedersen, hasta la vista…baby.
