Mick O'Dwyer (born 9 June 1936) is an Irish Gaelic football manager and former player. Most recently manager of the Clare senior football team, he is considered to be "the 'high priest' of Kerry football".
O'Dwyer played Gaelic football with his local club Waterville and was a member of the Kerry senior team from 1956 until 1974. O'Dwyer later served as manager of Kildare, Laois and Wicklow, however, it was as manager of the Kerry senior football team from 1975 until 1989 that allowed him to gain iconic status as the most successful manager of all-time. In June 2012, a statue of Mick O'Dwyer was erected in Waterville to honour his achievements.
O'Dwyer announced his retirement from inter-county management in January 2014 after a 60-year involvement with inter-county football. Speaking on his retirement he said "My days of rolling up the match programme tightly in my hand and heading out to patrol the sidelines are over. I'd be happy to give a bit of advice from time to time if anyone wants it but I won't be managing again. That's behind me now,".
We got half a life, we got half a dream
We got half a love, we got half a scheme
Always sitting in the darkness, I'll wait for you
Nervous of the neighbors, I'd like a hotel room
Cause I'm indiscreet, can't keep quiet
Heaven I don't know how
I can't go on seeing you like this
Give that knife just one more twist
This affair is really going to break my heart
Living half a life is better than nothing, half a dream
You know I can't keep quiet 'cause I'm indiscreet
I guess half a loaf leaves me feeling hungry
Half a glass, half a dream, half a life
Heaven I don't know how!
I can't go on seeing you like this
Give that knife just one more little twist
This affair is really going to break my heart
Let's call our friends! Let's go hang out! Let's go out dancing!
Let's jump and shout! Let's go be seen! Let's dress up chic!
Show we're in love! Right on our street!
Let's go out trashy! Let's go act cheap!
What does it matter what other people think?
Step in the bright lights!
Let's go act wild!
I want to show that you're mine all mine
Here's to freezing in the doorways, here's to taking separate taxis
To our stolen conversations, we're never seen together
Half a dream, half a life, heaven I don't know how!
But I can't go on seeing you like this!
Give that knife just one more little twist
This affair is really going to break my heart
I can't go on seeing you like this!
I can't go on seeing you like this!
I can't go on seeing you like this!
I can't go on seeing you like this!
Give that knife just one more little twist
I can't go on seeing you like this!
I can't go on seeing you like this!
Give that knife just one more little twist...
