Sam Roberts - Don't Walk Away Eileen Lyrics

More like Don't Walk Away Shaqueen.

i feel old

"Your a pacifist with a gun, Eileen." Killer lyrics

59 people walked away

1:25 ..best part of an already great song...my opinion

Seen them at SARS concert wow what a mushroom trip.

Always disappointing to discover a new song I like on Sirius's 'The Verge' -- and then Google to see that it's been around for a long time. The state of alternative music radio really sucks!

This song has officially reached classic status

So fucking underated

Awesome song by one of my fellow Canadians...my favorite part of the song at 1:25 ...

Don't walk away Eileen
I've been living for you since the age of seventeen
Don't walk away Eileen
You've been telling lies and now it's time to come clean
Hey! You come around and I can't keep time
Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind
Eileen says I'm a boy not a man
Cryin' on the corner with my head in my hands
I called her name and she ran
Slippin' through my fingers like a fist full of sand
Hey! You come around and I lose my hand
Hey! You turn around and I'm left for dead
And she reads my mind when I'm sleeping
And she always arrives when I'm leaving
Yeah she's blocking out the sun, it seems
You're a pacifist with a gun, Eileen

the bridge is otherworldly

love this song

Don't walk away. I lean.

one of canadians best

too many songs about Eileen lmfao!

ok fine, i won’t walk away

i seen him live at the windsor racetrack for free

Baby got back . Thicker than oatmeal . I need hepp fer the nexx one !

Who wants to bet that this song was meant to be played after come on eileen by dexys midnight runners XD the lyrics actually work together perfectly

0:17 EILEEN DON'T OPEN THE BLINDS LIKE THAT

this song randomly came in my head. nostalgia! what a great song.

One of the females in this video looks like a female version of Kenan Thompson.

A forever rock and roll gem.

If she walks away the he's gonna fall because he's a leaning

0:50 We all just got flipped off

Is it "Hey you come around?" I can't find lyrics. If anyone could help. Thanks:)

it sounds a bit different then the album

Don't bore us, get to the chorus

Great song, definitely has some influences from another great Canadian band Sloan

Love Sloan, you got great atste bud taste

Agree with both you bastids .

cant stop my feet from tapping another great canadian song

Love this song

You don't look like a Kevin , Ifn you don't mind me sayin' so .

@Jonah Keewatin Oh I Knew It!

I actually never thought this was Sam Roberts

an underrated Canadian classic

treyshawnbeats yup

treyshawnbeats SOOOOO TTRRUUEE!!

Catchy but lets face it...its pure pop drivel
Youll never hear this song again after this year

With that comment you already proved you're ignorant as fuck so i won't even bother arguing with your stupid ass.

LOL DUDE SO FUNNY XD

@Big Bad Billy Blue Balls let's face it... blue balls need not post.

It's already 7 years old, heard it on the radio yesterday.
6 years old as of your comment, you kind of proved your own point wrong in the comment itself.

tђє ςคยϟє ๏Ŧ ฬєt קคภtเєϟ that's how I'm going to get my girlfriend into Sam Roberts mwah ha ha ha

Love this. So glad to have met him briefly in Edmonton with my daughter.Good memories!

How could you dump a fine man like Sam?

Come on Eileen ...

still sounds good from when i first heard it

Tristan Provost TRUE!

love this song. sam was one of the best bands i have seen live. saw them two nights in a row in victoria bc  with the hip and sam roberts band stole the show!! 

Time sure does fly by! Scary!

I think you got moldy

An entire decade ago, what the fuck?

I remember singing this when I was six

the biggest audiences dont even understand how amazing his lyrics are

Agreed!

I can't understand why Sam Roberts isn't huge.

this is great ...... so Canadian.

hannah qaunaq very true

Really not sure why this wasn't a bigger hit.

such as sick song even the camera crew is feeling it

I never understood this video. Is Eileen just a biotch?

I never understood this video. Is Eileen just a B*TCH?

I am Canadian and although I am not a Habs fan in any shape or form, you guys might all benefit from looking at the standings to determine whether they suck or not. The standings would suggest they do not suck.

Song's aboot passive aggression, eh?

Habs suck!!! Go Leafs Go!!!

Vive les Nordiques

I am Canadian and the Habs do suck.

I need more Sam Roberts in my life.

i find that dave grohl from the foo fighters and sam roberts look kinda similar

this has been one of my favourite songs since i heard it on a sportsnet seattle mariners commerical when i was 8 years old

What do you call a woman with one leg? Eileen.

Citizenship revoked

i have the same plate

just download ad block...i think thats what it called

I love partying with Canadians, mainly Widsor folks who are Red Wings fans at the JOE! I love you crazy bastards

well then don't walk away!

I agree, as well. Sadly, hardly anyone knows it in the U.S. but it's in my top 5 of all time.

Born in a flame is still one of the greatest records ever made.

nice telecaster

@2camels0ina0tiny0bus Montreal Canadiens ya poser.

Holy shit, already 10 years old... crazy...

I dont understand this video at all!

@2camels0ina0tiny0bus Not sure if trolling or what...but the Canadiens are from Montreal, hence the French spelling...I thought that was common knowledge...

What a grossly underrated band. If they were american this would have a minmum of 5 million views.

@MrMoose1324 It's "Canadians"*. Ya hoser.

"you're a pacifist with a gun, eileen." brilliant!

I really love Sam Roberts

why isnt she the one scrubbing the dishes?

that black bitch wouldnt be stayin in my house no more

just look into that man's eyes. never seen any as icy and piercing as those. they make my knees weak.

oh and his music's genius. I think I'm in love...

3:00 to 3:07 - LOVE that part! haha they're so awesome

I remember watching this on TV back when I was 11, almost 10 years ago now. I can say proudly that I remember seeing Saku Koivu on the TV in the background, celebrating a goal they just scored. Thought I'd share this memory. One of his best tunes.

He should have WAY more than 214, 335 views

@FourTwenny The Blue Mountain Concert?

Anyone else notice the Canadiens playing on the TV?

what good song writing and with such simple language.

@MotivatedByFate This should seriously be pushing 20 million.

is that guy watching TSN? sweet!

he's gonna be at U of T frosh! :P

I saw him long too long ago in Vancouver, it was fantastic. The bus back downtown was completely full with people from the concert, and mostly quiet until one guy started singing this. The entire bus joined in. It was a great moment.
