[Am] The pressures were there, all that touring, and it was constant going.
And then when you'd come home, you'd just keep it up.
You'd be up and done it.
You'd be round the town drinking.
I suppose it does have an effect, an accumulative effect somewhere.
[A]
[Am] One casualty of the Dubliners' frenetic lifestyle was Luke's [A] marriage to Deirdre.
Luke would [E] not disclose or discuss his private [G] affairs with anybody.
He would talk about anything in the world, anything, but that part of it was his, and that's as it should be.
He rarely discussed it with people outside, but he certainly never ever.
I went to see my mother one night, on a Saturday night, and I was coming back into town, driving [F#] in,
and Luke was standing at the bus stop just beside Whitehall Church there,
and you couldn't miss Luke, with the hair and everything.
I stopped and gave him a lift into town.
It was about 7 o'clock, which is a kind of quiet [Em] time on a Saturday night.
And he said, do you fancy a pint?
So we went and had a drink, [G] and we had a few drinks.
He talked [B] a lot about politics, which he was fascinated [G] by, and he wasn't too happy with my politics at the time,
and [D] I was very interested in politics too, so we had a political argument.
Then we talked about soccer, [Bm] and then he talked about [B] children, family, about his wife, Deirdre, and how things hadn't worked out.
[F] There was a real sadness.
He was a lonely man, whereas I was expecting we'd be out all night, which both of us were well capable of.
[Dm] The night sort of petered out into a melancholy thing, and I think we left before the closing time, and he went off.
He said, I'm going home, and he was going [Am] nowhere.
It was sad, and I was actually going home to a family.
And after [E] that sort of night with [B] him, I had a different understanding of him.
See, Luke was a frustrated pop singer, [G] actor, clown, comic.
Whatever he was at the moment, he wanted to be something else at the next moment.
[Am] So when they wanted to do a new album, they decided that they wanted to go a new direction.
[E] Ah, yeah, that's one of [Am] the new lot of photographs.
