THE ABBA SLIDE
The piano slide that begins the song is a direct salute to "Dancing Queen" by ABBA which also begins with a piano slide
MILITARY COMMAND
"As you were" is a standard military command and it means than you can relax after having been ordered to attention
a Mr. Conroy song
THE GESSLE VERSES
I guess the vocals in the verses are subconsciously inspired by Per Gessle's vocals in the verses of Roxette's megahit "The Look"
FUNNY RATHER THAT GOOD
It wasn't until I received positive reactions from others that I started taking the piano theme seriously and made a song of it
ABOUT GOSSIP
The song is about people talking and having opinions about you without knowing you. Based on personal experience after having received some media attention
MOST DANCEABLE SONG
The song is atypical for Mr. Conroy in the sense that you probably can dance to it. The only one so far"
- Quotes by Remi Thomsen
VERSE 1
Just look at the youngest son
The only one
Look at the gun he's won
Follow the only one
The only one
Look at how far he's come
How far he's come
Look at him run
Must be a lot of fun
being the only one
having good things to come
The chosen one
He is chosen one
wonder what things will come
what things will come
for that youngest son
CHORUS
They burnt the light in his eyes
They stole his will through their lies
VERSE 2
Said who wanted more
That he was so sore
Wondering what it was for
He was in the war, know know
Was in the war, know know
Maybe they were poor, you know
This will be grand for sure, but did you know
I've heard he struggles with stepping his father's shues
Never was on the lose
His Mother was lost to booze
One of the important clues
I think it was on the news
Just on the news
That we can use
CHORUS
They burnt the light in his eyes
They stole his will through their lies
