pattyClink,

I wouldn't spend much time trying to analyse the lhe lyrics of this one. I think its something to do with a proposal (which probably came up late one night in a pub) that Donegal should be fenced off and legalise gaming machines (which Phillipa rightly says are banned in Ireland, except in seaside holiday resorts) and build up an economy based around gambling in the same way as Las Vegas has.

Goats Don't Shave are (were? I haven't heard of them lately) more or less a good time band, something along the lines of the Saw Doctors. Like Big Tim I've seen them live and enjoyed them at that level, but I didn't buy the CD.
