[Verse 1] I walked into the pub, the crowd alive Loud tunes in the air, a place to vibe The fiddles and drums, they called my name But something felt off, wasn't quite the same [Chorus] The jigs ain't real, they're played by mobile phones What happened to the magic, to the old-time tunes? A fake dance of light, a glitch in the soul I wanted the spirit, but it's out of control [Verse 2] The band on stage, no faces to see Just screens and wires, no melody A fiddler's bow, it never touched the strings Just a signal of data, and the crowd still sings [Chorus] The jigs ain't real, they're played by mobile phones What happened to the magic, to the old-time tunes? A fake dance of light, a glitch in the soul I wanted the spirit, but it's out of control [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Even the barman, isn't to be seen Instead a mobile phone robot pours the pints Yet it talks, just like a barman But it all seems like a dream [Chorus] The jigs ain't real, they're played by mobile phones What happened to the magic, to the old-time tunes? A fake dance of light, a glitch in the soul I wanted the spirit, but it's out of control [Bridge] I remember the days when the music was true When a song could make you feel something new Now it's all pixels and zeros and ones But I'll keep searching for the sound of drums [Chorus] The jigs ain't real, they're played by mobile phones What happened to the magic, to the old-time tunes? A fake dance of light, a glitch in the soul I wanted the spirit, but it's out of control [Outro] I'll keep dancing, I'll keep moving my feet Even if the music's not what it used to be The jigs may not live, but the heart still beats And I'll find my rhythm on these empty streets
