    I was listening to the radio the other day and came across this song. As I was listening, the lyrics reminded me of our beloved(yet frustrating) Metrostars.

    Flogging Molly - Light Of A Fading Star Lyrics

    And the light of a fading star
    Is what you were, is what you are
    Like the glow that christens the moon
    You shone too soon, you shone too soon

    Oh when will this war be over?
    And the madness leaves the air
    This brick that's found between us
    And the pulling of the hair

    But if there's a reason
    I don't need to know right now

    And the light of a fading star
    Is what you were, is what you are
    Like the glow that christens the moon
    You shone too soon, you shone too soon

    Volunteers are soon forgotten
    And many more of us shall die
    The sick still feed the hungry
    And the last battle song has cried

    But if there's a reason
    I don't need to know right now

    And the light of a fading star
    Is what you were, is what you are
    Like the glow that christens the moon
    You shone too soon, you shone too soon

    Oh and I always thought
    That you, you wanted me
    Oh and I always thought some how
    That you, you wanted me

    Ahhh, but if there's a reason
    I don't need to know right now
    'Cause beyond the pale eyes' evening
    And the shadow of the cloud

    And the light of a fading star
    Is what you were, is what you are
    Like the glow that christens the moon
    You shone too soon, you shone too soon

    And the light of a fading star
    Is what you were, is what you are
    Like the glow that christens the moon
    You shone too soon, you shone too soon

    And the light of a fading star
    Is what you were, is what you are

    Well, the reason I like it is because on the surface it seems to refer to the Metrostars as the fading star, but if sung by OUR supporters, it would refer to all the other teams that we play against. That the other teams have "Shone too soo".

    It's a gritty song, and if you've ever heard it, you'd know that it would sound amazing when belted out by 100 supporters or so.
