"Turner and Kirwan" of Wexford were before my time, as were "The Major Thinkers", but both Larry Kirwan and Pierce Turner carved out successful careers after going there separate ways, artistically.
I've been listening to Pierce's latest album, "Terrible Good" (and it is), but even after all these years I recall the first of his songs that I ever heard.
I had been thinking of doing an amount of "wandering" myself, yesterday, around the coastline of Manhattan, until a minor foot injury forced a change of plans - I guess that is what brought the headline lyrics of this song to mind.

| Wicklow Hills | |
| Spring still paints fire escapes with Hopper shades | |
| Radio's rap and screech like trains | |
| A figure's floating through the sewing set | |
| Some guy walks by suspended by the sky | |
| Takes more imagination | |
| When every thing's remote control | |
| For me it's just a case of what's on the other side of clothes | |
| Tell everybody I'm gone away for ten years | |
| I'm gone to wander among the Wicklow Hills | |
| New Jersey white kid in his sunday jeans | |
| Stuck to the corner of the street | |
| Fat gypsy lady smacks the window pane | |
| Some guy walks by suspended by the sky | |
| Takes more imagination | |
| When every thing's remote control | |
| For me it's just a case of what's on the other side of clothes | |
| Tell everybody I'm gone away for ten years | |
| I'm gone to wander among the Wicklow Hills |
