Don't walk away Eileen!
I've been living for you since the age of seventeen
Don't walk away Eileen!
You've been telling lies and now it's time to come clean

Hey! You come around and I
Hey! You come around and I
Hey! You come around and I can't keep time
Hey! You turn around and I
Hey! You turn around and I
Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind

Eileen says I'm a boy, not a man
Crying on the corner with my head and my hands
I called her name and she ran
Slipping through my fingers like a fist full of sand

Hey! You come around and I
Hey! You come around and I
Hey! You come around and I lose my head
Hey! You turn around and I
Hey! You turn around and I
Hey! You turn around and I'm left for dead

And she reads my mind when I'm sleeping
And she always arrives when I'm leaving
Yeah, she's blocking out the sun it seems
You're a pacifist with a gun, Eileen

Hey! You come around and I
Hey! You come around and I
Hey! You come around and I can't keep time
Hey! You turn around and I
Hey! You turn around and I
Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind

Hey! You come around and I
Hey! You come around and I
Hey! You come around and I lose my head
Hey! You turn around and I
Hey! You turn around and I
Hey! You turn around and I'm left for dead

Don't walk away Eileen!
Don't walk away Eileen!
Don't walk away Eileen!

Huh. I swear I've heard this song before. It was playing somewhere in the background while I was doing something I shouldn't have been doing ;). I think. I dunno though, the release date looks too recent.

I like this song after Help!...It sounds like a heavy seventies version of the Beatles....

Great song by a great performer. His band is big and great. If you have the chance to see these guys, do it. Tons of on-stage energy.

Funny, this is the first time I've heard it, and I listen frequently. There's plenty of tunes I would jettison overboard before this one.
Yeah I retract my words a bit. I may have been in the wrong mood and heard the song too many times in too short a period of time when I made that comment. Its not too bad today.

Grating, tinny, too much cymbals, irritating repetition. I don't like this song.
