666tich88 is correct. The song is inspired by a homeless guy who scores. Paul Noonan said in an interview on an Irish radio station that Rocky was a homeless guy who he'd see near his Dublin apartment. He simply knew him to say hello to. One night, when he was walking back to his place, he saw Rocky was 'with' a woman. The lyrics are based on a conversation he imagined they might have had.
This is nothing less than the crystalline purity of perfect pop. The unusual synth sound sets it all off. I could drink for days on end while listening to this kind of music. See also: Matt Pond PA, Guster, The Connells, The Killers, Husker Du, Neko Case.
Ahhh i'd rather ireland...fucking california....sure its nice but overated man... long blond hair with a surfboard...get a fucking life...but...then again, not many places i admire in the states
