about

OWN GOOD TIME is the Summery new single from Cork based band Greenshine.
Ever feel like you've been dealt just one dud card too many by fate? That life needs to back off and let you have a little fun? Then OWN GOOD TIME might be the song for you! We all deserve a break from bad luck and hard times and it's all very well to say: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" but we still need a little sugar and some good, clean fun like a day at the beach, a spin on the Waltzers and chips and a sing song in the car on the way home - the simple things. So, fate, bring on the good times....or else!

lyrics

OWN GOOD TIME
Good times came, good times gone. Back up the bus and let me on
Haven't had enough of a good time yet. Don't tell me that's all I get
Wreck my buzz, you commit a crime. Give me back my own good time
I'll make us laugh or kill us trying. Don't you dare wreck my own good time

Could loll around in bed all day. I earned the right to feel that way!
Wouldn't put a dog through what I've been through, no one to blame, no one to sue
But wreck my buzz, you commit a crime. Give me back my own good time
I'll make us laugh or kill us trying. Don't you dare wreck my own good time

All I want is a walk on the beach, Metalman, chips and Waltzers
Kickabout on a Summer's day laughing like we oughtta
Dinner and a glass of wine, karaoke in the car, I feel fine
So many good times gone behind, so many more to go

No lonesome vibe, no heartsore sister, no awkward friend, no missing mister
No Angel of Death, no sneaky gibe is going to kill my own good time
But wreck my buzz, you commit a crime. Give me back my own good time
Don't rock my boat, don't you foul my line. Don't you dare wreck my own good time!

Sidestep the sucker punch. Sorry there Trouble, out to lunch
Jump with a chute as the plane goes down, floating gently to the ground

Fiachna Winter Sun just brings me to my knees. The fiddle and flute completely summons my core to the submission of such beauty. Just played this again after your performance with Tom Dunne and Alan Conner on The Late Late Show. Your energy on the trad song was incredible. Still grappling with a continent and an ocean keeping me at bay with the gigs of humanity being right there in Ireland. Dont Stop! David and Delfina Hernandez
