the tossers - claddagh

If your reactions are reflecting immediate gratification,
will you be happy continuing the way you've begun?
For if you're not already happy,
Well, then sadness may be all you've ever known.
And you'll just have to learn to live with it within,
or else you'll have to learn to change and begin again.

Well this ring means I love you,
that there's no one above you,
you are closer to me than a friend.
And this ring I have shown you,
well it means that I don't own you,
but I know our love can last 'til the end.

When you reflect someone else's life,
well that can cause all strife.
When there was nothing but domineering fighting when you were young.
So your relationship must work,
because your parents and you are a failure.
So to spite them, you live through them,
showing them that yours is strong.
But then how did you get here,
this attraction to this one here.
The one it seems can never live up or is right.
You're embarrassing and hating yourself more,
but yet this feeling is familiar.
When you're raised in anxiety, do you truly think
that it's happiness that steers your sight?

Humility is learning, to be sad, anxious, and yearning.
To shut up and not believe that you deserve
anything you can't do for yourself,
and never being too selfish,
to demand to be happy, or to be served.
There is no reason to think that one person
can satisfy you in every way of life.
It's only society that tells you
that that's the way that is true.
It takes strength to be alone,
but your life could be more if you don't always conform.

You're already in love with more than one person,
although you may not think you can be.
For old loves reside most, mostly in our memories.
But the fondness remains and it's still to them you would see.

This ring is a promise I am making to you,
to endeavor myself and sing for you.
To be happy and discover anyway I can try.
So my heart and friendship can stay true
cause my loyalty lies with you.
And my love, it will last 'til the end of time.

@jdgonzalez509

The Claddagh ring (Irish: fáinne Chladaigh) is a traditional Irish ring given as a token of love or worn as a wedding ring. So where can you find anything about leopardstown races in a wedding ring story? song next to this one is talking about leopardstown races, what a coincidence. its enough to listen the lyrics.

nice song thanks for posting bud :)

Hands reaching out in friendship,the heart symbolizing love. the crown meaning loyalty.its only a symbol of romantic love if the heart on the ring faces in towards the person wearing the ring. then it means the person is "taken".Everyone in my family has the same claddagh ring to sybollize our family loyalty.

this song is one of the best ive heard from this band so far

[honookatana]

I have the CD and the track listing on the back has this song (Track 9 ) as being 'Leopardstown Races' and Track 10 as Claddagh but in the insert with the lyrics, Track 9 is 'Claddagh'. This is probably where the confusion has come from. Considering that Track 10 mentions Leopardstown Races a heap of times, I'm quite confident that this song is not it.

@flueedo

No matter what the web says, this is really obviously claddagh. Seriously "Well this ring means I love you", how can one actually believe this song is about the Leopardstown Races? Especially since the chorus of the song that you seem to believe is claddagh starts with "So i'm going down , going down to Leopardstowns". You'd have to be deaf to believe that the song you just heard is Leopardstown Races.

[stevebloodymckenna]

this is the wrong song this leapardtown races i think

[flueedo]

@0000psy this mistake is widespread, for exemple, if you look for the lyrics of claddagh on the web you find something else. :/
