+ | |||
+ | ==== The Rocky Road to Dublin ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the merry month of June from my home I started left the girls of Taum nearly | ||
+ | brokenhearted saluted me father dear, kissed me darling mother drank a pint of | ||
+ | beer, my grief and tears to smother then off to reap the corn, leave where I was | ||
+ | born cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblin, brand-new pair of | ||
+ | brogues, rattling o'er the bogs frightening all the dogs on the rocky road to | ||
+ | Dublin. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In Mullingar last night, I rested limbs so weary started by daylight next | ||
+ | morning bright and early took a drop of the pure to keep me heart from sinking | ||
+ | that's the daddy' | ||
+ | laughing all the while at me darling style, would set your heart a-bubblin' | ||
+ | asked me was I hired, wages I required 'til I was almost tired of the rocky road | ||
+ | to Dublin. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the way to Dublin, | ||
+ | whack-fol-la-de-da! | ||
+ | |||
+ | In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity to be so soon deprived a view | ||
+ | of that fine city decided to take a stroll all among the quality bundle, it was | ||
+ | stole in that neat locality something crossed my mind when I looked behind no | ||
+ | bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin' | ||
+ | connaught brogue wasn't much in-vogue on the rocky road to Dublin. | ||
+ | |||
+ | From there I got away, me spirits never failing landed on the quay just as the | ||
+ | ship was sailing captain at me roared, said that no room had he then I jumped | ||
+ | aboard a cabin found for Daddy down among the pigs, played some funny rigs, | ||
+ | danced some hearty jigs, the water 'round me bubblin' | ||
+ | myself was dead or better far instead on the rocky road to Dublin. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The boys in Liverpool, when we safely landed called myself a fool, I could no | ||
+ | longer stand it blood began to boil, temper I was losing poor old Erin's Isle | ||
+ | they began abusing hooray me soul, says I, let the shellaillagh fly some galway | ||
+ | boys were nigh, saw I was a-hobblin' | ||
+ | fray and soon we cleared the way on the rocky road to Dublin. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Heroes from Our Past ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | And so the story' | ||
+ | and their woes. Be it raids and melees ancient or the modern worker' | ||
+ | that inspires men to stand up for their rights. And should we fall down by the | ||
+ | wayside in this ever-changing world we can look back to these heroes of our | ||
+ | past. With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will, no tyranny would | ||
+ | quell them in their task. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's an age-old situation with an ever-present message: that time and tide | ||
+ | waiteth for no man. So without fear of confrontation of the consequence of | ||
+ | outcome, it's for freedom and for happiness they toiled. An in looking to the | ||
+ | future, we can see a better place where we can shake the yoke of tyranny for | ||
+ | all. It's been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest. It's just | ||
+ | remembrance of their dignity we ask. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So come on rally round this brave and valiant cause with tradition, pride, and | ||
+ | honor at its core. With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted | ||
+ | men Faugh-an-ballagh, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Under perilous conditions with small hope of success they left behind the lives | ||
+ | that they once led and by virtue of their fortitude and single-minded strength | ||
+ | they cleared the way for the people of today so when we think back to our | ||
+ | ancestors respectfully we hark and thank the men whose struggle broke the chain | ||
+ | it's a long road up ahead of us - let's forge on while we're strong and leave | ||
+ | our mark of honor once again | ||
+ | |||
+ | So the story has been told and it comes now to an end. It's setting any era, any | ||
+ | land. When abusive tyrants force the hands of matters great or small, it inpires | ||
+ | men to stand up for their rights. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Forever ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Never take your loved ones for granted: they could be gone tomorrow" | ||
+ | dreams seem to fall by the side like a discarded thought or the day's fading | ||
+ | light but I know that if I could just see you tonight forever at times we may | ||
+ | fall, like we all tend to do but I'll reach out and find that I've run into you | ||
+ | your strength is the power that carried me through forever | ||
+ | |||
+ | Your kindness for weakness I never mistook I worried you often, yet you | ||
+ | understood that life is so fleeting, these troubles won't last forever inspired | ||
+ | me truly you did from the start to not be afraid and to follow my heart there' | ||
+ | a piece of you with me they can't tear apart forever | ||
+ | |||
+ | Forever I'll find you, forever we'll be | ||
+ | Forever your power and strength stays with me | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== The Gauntlet ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well I just got back from a break in the fight I was weighing in heavy but still | ||
+ | feeling alright all I hear in the distance mines and shells here come the sirens | ||
+ | wailing another attack to be repelled do you think we're gonna make it? I don' | ||
+ | know unless we try you could sit here scared to move or we could take them by | ||
+ | surprise it's submission that they want it's surrender that they need when we' | ||
+ | doing it their way their aims will be achieved | ||
+ | |||
+ | They' | ||
+ | they' | ||
+ | stand up, yeah, and fight them show them what it's all about this man is not for | ||
+ | sale there will be no backing down | ||
+ | |||
+ | Stand up and fight and I'll stand up with you! We shall succeed | ||
+ | |||
+ | They won't get me they won't get me thought they never cease to try they won' | ||
+ | get me they won't get me I would rather fight and die they won't get me they | ||
+ | won't get me well my friend will they get you? when they get you when they get | ||
+ | you tell me what are you gonna do? | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Good Rats ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for run? Sure they crawl | ||
+ | around and scurry, yeah they' | ||
+ | time just like you and me I'll prove it with a tale about a rat-infested brewery | ||
+ | |||
+ | It started with a little lad named vermin McCann who fell upon a drink that made | ||
+ | him feel like quite a man he rounded up his furry boys, though some wore a frown | ||
+ | they quickly changed their tune and they slammed a couple down. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One, two, one-two-three-four! Come on all you good rats we'll send you to heaven | ||
+ | you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam 'cause in these vats | ||
+ | you've made quite a creation a potion that turned the Guinness to gold! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Like mice behind a piper, rats from all around soon headed for this factory in | ||
+ | old Dublin Town. They surely heard the news about this fancy new rat-brew they | ||
+ | come, they saw, they had a taste and knocked back a few | ||
+ | |||
+ | The rats wre in a tizzy addicted to the bone the hairy lugs wer giddy they were | ||
+ | never going home like a bunch of drunken pirates prepared to walk the plank they | ||
+ | drank, they sang, they took a plunge and in the beer they sank! | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== The New American Way ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each day when I wake up and I set my best foot forward I'll make an effort to be | ||
+ | all that I can be. I take a look around me and I wonder how things change so | ||
+ | much in the few short years since I was a young boy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do you know what we're fighting for? I know in an instant I could lose | ||
+ | everything I'm working toward. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I know I'll win my battles though I fear we'll lose the war to the new American | ||
+ | way. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The morals of this nation' | ||
+ | indifference, | ||
+ | many of our boys and girls oh lord I start to wonder will it ever come around? | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== The Torch ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Wash away all the lines on your face that show how you've aged it's a long way | ||
+ | down - your back's been broken you can't make the rounds the tables are turned | ||
+ | as the litany goes... you're a rotten old man who'll be covered in dirt on your | ||
+ | knees and pray to the maker that caused you to bleed | ||
+ | |||
+ | Turn back the hand on the clock you're a bitter old man who's done nothing but | ||
+ | work your hands to the bone on the assembly lines you've grown cold to the touch | ||
+ | of the ones that you love ignorance is something you can't over come but you' | ||
+ | passed it on down and that's something much worse for a bitter young man... is | ||
+ | now taking the torch | ||
+ | |||
+ | Silent scorn - you've taken it out on the ones you adore Inside rage - they' | ||
+ | left you before but they' | ||
+ | love but this time your indifference just can't be excused Forced amends - well | ||
+ | it's something you'll die with but it goes on for them... for a bitter young | ||
+ | man... has now taken the torch... | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Fortunes of War ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each town has its cliques those who don't get along and then there' | ||
+ | know where certain kids just don't belong so know your rivals and watch your | ||
+ | back 'cause no one's gonna be there when the enemy attacks | ||
+ | |||
+ | When the justice eludes you it's the fortunes of war wouldn' | ||
+ | different had the tables been turned? If the people won't protect you you must | ||
+ | fend for yourself when the justice eludes you it's the fortunes of war | ||
+ | |||
+ | You drove right over him and then you sped away how does it feel to kill and | ||
+ | know you didn't pay? So walk away even though a life is gone someday, you' | ||
+ | know the price when god repays you for your wrongs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== A Few Good Men ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's time we stood up for ourselves so get up off your knees. We'll shake off | ||
+ | our detractors and attain our hopes and dreams and if we fall prey to | ||
+ | in-fighting, | ||
+ | sing proud | ||
+ | |||
+ | We won't listen to their stories or be waylaid by their lies it's a dram that' | ||
+ | still attainable for kids like you and I So if we all stand together singing one | ||
+ | defiant song our voice will reach the heavens, so sing with all your heart | ||
+ | |||
+ | Join us in a song - we shall rise and sing stand up and be counted - sing a song | ||
+ | for liberty join us in this song - together we shall sing rise up and be counted | ||
+ | - sing it loud, sing it proud | ||
+ | |||
+ | We've been brutalized and crucified, the brunt of their attacks, is corruption | ||
+ | not their trademark and compassion what they lack? If we can realize our common | ||
+ | goals, the end of which is plain united and now stronger, their loss is now our | ||
+ | gain! | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Ramble and Roll ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Driving down the highway and I've got no lights dreaming about my future, but | ||
+ | it's fading away in the night what do you want out of life when you don't play | ||
+ | by the rules I've got no expectations and I fully expect to lose | ||
+ | |||
+ | 'Cause I was born to ramble I was made to roll living my stickin' | ||
+ | yesterday' | ||
+ | |||
+ | I drink in dirty bars 'cause they serve bigger drinks and I don't own fancy | ||
+ | cards I take the train and man it stinks, yeah, I play music but I do't hang out | ||
+ | with stars and if I need money I'll just pawn a few guitars | ||
+ | |||
+ | I may speak gibberish, but I don't talk shit and I'm not one for book smarts but | ||
+ | I'm known for my barroom wit! | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Caps and Bottles ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | When I was thirteen, I bought a scally cap looked up to the older guys who drank | ||
+ | at the rat couldn' | ||
+ | the map and have a social few | ||
+ | |||
+ | I recall when I was small I thought I'd be legend soon but that was then and | ||
+ | this is now a harder road cannot be found don't get me wrong, good times were | ||
+ | had sometimes the fun outweighed the bad but all in all, now said and done I can | ||
+ | recall more bad than fun | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's killing me - the answer' | ||
+ | the man I thought I'd be it's killing me - it's taken years but now I see I' | ||
+ | not the man I thought I'd be | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'd fight them all, big or small angel dust and Bud tall collars up and fists | ||
+ | the same protect your friends and family name had my lumps, received a few but | ||
+ | not near what I deserved some say this life's my punishment some say this life' | ||
+ | my just deserves | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== The Wild Rover ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I've been a wild rover for many's the year and I've spent all me money on | ||
+ | whiskey and beer and now I'm returning with gold in great store and I never will | ||
+ | play the wild rover no more | ||
+ | |||
+ | And it's no, nay, never no, nay, never! | ||
+ | No more will I play the wild rover no, never, no more | ||
+ | |||
+ | I went into an alehouse I used to frequent and I told the landlady me money was | ||
+ | spent I asked her for credit, she answered me nay such a custom as yours I could | ||
+ | have any day | ||
+ | |||
+ | I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright and the landlady' | ||
+ | with delight she said she had whiskeys and wines of the best and the words that | ||
+ | she told me were only in jest | ||
+ | |||
+ | I went home to my parents, confessed what I'd done and I asked them to pardon | ||
+ | their prodigal son and when they'd caressed me as oft times before I never will | ||
+ | play the wild rover no more | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== The Spicy McHaggis Jig ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'll tell you a story, believe me it's true a tale you'd best hope never happens | ||
+ | to you old spicy mcHaggis, how he met his fate you I can save, but for him it' | ||
+ | too late | ||
+ | |||
+ | Spicy was big, burly and strong his pipes were gigantic, and so was his schlong | ||
+ | from city to city running around looking for chicks over four hundred pounds | ||
+ | |||
+ | One night at the pub a girl caught his eye big as a house, just the right size | ||
+ | the broad was enormous, stacked to the hilt spicy soon noticed a bulge in his | ||
+ | kilt the piper delivered his best pick-up line thought to himself, "this beast | ||
+ | is all mine" the portly young lady could stand for no more grabbed his cojones | ||
+ | and went for the door | ||
+ | |||
+ | They got to her house and dimmed all the lights Spicy was in for one hell of a | ||
+ | night he said that he loved her, he'd always be true "But Mr. McHaggis, I' | ||
+ | only just met you!!" | ||
+ | |||
+ | By now he saw double through his drunken eyes neither had looks or appropriate | ||
+ | size he came to his sense, thought to himself, "At this time of night I won' | ||
+ | find nothing else" he took off his shirt, she lifted her skirt, they pulled out | ||
+ | his unit and stared to play she asked for a glove, he gave her a shove, had baby | ||
+ | McHaggis nine months to-the-day. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Three packs a day, he'll smoke 'til he dies Spicy McHaggis, one hell of a guy! | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | Shake the hand that shook the world | ||
+ | |||
+ | Shoe-shine boy to champion, he'd fought and beaten many foes | ||
+ | His calling card was a kick to the groin, and a broken bottle to the bridge of | ||

+ | On more than one occasion, a bout was stopped to save an opponents life | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==== Pipebomb on Lansdowne ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's Friday night and the street' | ||
+ | flock to the beat | ||
+ | Of the techno noise that enhances their high, a bombs gonna blow and I think you | ||
+ | know why! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chorus: Everybody' | ||
+ | It's a pipebomb on lansdowne street | ||
+ | |||
+ | There' | ||
+ | space for the jocks and whores | ||
+ | You say that our shows are for violent thugs, but we're not the ones on designer | ||

+ | |||
+ | Schizophrenic nightmares sending shivers down my spine | ||
+ | I may be a little twisted, but I swear that my life is fine | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chorus: I'm living with a perfect stranger, is there anybody home? | ||
+ | I'm living with a perfect stranger, but I find myself alone | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well I'm still working to make life better, though I've fallen from God's grace | ||
+ | I'm standing still in a shattered mirror, staring at somebody else's face | ||
+ | |||
+ | Just when things are back on track, I sabotage myself | ||
+ | These are all certain telltale signs of my decaying mental health | ||
+ | Nobody' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 10 Years Of Service ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The status of our future in both past and present time, is relegated to a member | ||
+ | of a higher class than mine. To Determine and direct the lives of family men who | ||
+ | bear the burden of living up to standard that doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line, 10 years of service but I' | ||
+ | still not worth your time. And I've seen men give their lives, and heard the | ||
+ | stories that they tell of how they labored for this company which sold it's soul | ||
+ | to hell | ||
+ | |||
+ | Times may be changing but I'll never leave behind the hopes and thoughts I have | ||
+ | of better days for families such as mine. Because if history repeats itself and | ||
+ | time will surely tell. What goes around will come around and you'll know our | ||
+ | pain too well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line, 10 years of service but I' | ||
+ | still not worth your time. And I've seen men give their lives, and heard the | ||
+ | stories that they tell of how they labored for this company which sold it's soul | ||
+ | to hell | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Upstarts and Broken Hearts ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I once met a young girl filled with fire, That saw through my front to this | ||
+ | shell of a man | ||
+ | She knew I'd be a handful from the start, This strong willed woman had an angels | ||
+ | heart | ||
+ | The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly | ||
+ | So you'd better brace for a life of pain, And if fate is the path to this better | ||
+ | life | ||
+ | Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Through thick and thin, She stood by you | ||
+ | She held the key to my broken heart | ||
+ | |||
+ | I look back and wonder, Sit and ponder. How I could have ever neglected you. | ||
+ | For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field, I gambled on a hand I wasn' | ||
+ | ready to lose | ||
+ | But if the tables were turned and I faced the troubles, Tough times and | ||
+ | struggles I put you through | ||
+ | I'd of been there as you were through hardship and horror | ||
+ | My life and my love are pledged to you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Through thick and thin, She stood by you | ||
+ | She held the key to my broken heart | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remember the nights she waited and wondered, fused to a myth that it had taken | ||
+ | it's toll. | ||
+ | But this Godless man has mended his way, Never again will she be alone. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I remember it well, Still I always knew that she was destined to be my bride | ||
+ | This woman had pride, She was full of life. I could see the passion in her eyes. | ||
+ | She thought she found a man, But she fell for the devil | ||
+ | An evil monster in disguise. Now I'll honor and obey, Forever stay. | ||
+ | True to you, my Irish rose | ||
+ | |||
+ | Through thick and thin, She stood by you | ||
+ | She held the key to my broken heart | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Devils Brigade ==== | ||

+ | |||
+ | I've seen street corner preachers spending discharge pay | ||
+ | Between periods of getting stiff and happy tipplers singing songs of | ||
+ | discontentment | ||
+ | With each and every passing sip from the bookmaker' | ||
+ | circuit | ||
+ | Known as Tom Sharkey' | ||
+ | sporting clubs | ||
+ | In this town I call my home | ||

+ | "Obey your orders and protect your country" | ||
+ | son | ||

+ | ==== Fighting 69th ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Come all you gallant heroes, And along with me combined | ||
+ | I'll sing a song, it won't take long, Of the Fighting Sixty Ninth | ||
+ | They' | ||
+ | And they have a leader to the fold, And Cocoran was his name | ||
+ | |||
+ | It was in the month of April, When the boys they sailed away | ||
+ | And they made a sight so glorious, As they marched along Broadway | ||
+ | They marched right down Broadway, me boys, Until they reached the shore | ||
+ | And from there they went to Washington, And straight unto the war | ||
+ | |||
+ | So we gave them a hearty cheer, me boys, It was greeted with a smile | ||
+ | Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise, We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth | ||
+ | |||
+ | And when the war is said and done, May heaven spare our lives | ||
+ | For its only then we can return, To our loved ones and our wives | ||
+ | We'll take them in our arms, me boys, For a long night and a day | ||
+ | And we'll hope that war will come no more, To sweet America | ||
+ | |||
+ | So we gave them a hearty cheer, me boys, It was greeted with a smile | ||
+ | Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise, We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth | ||
+ | |||
+ | So farewell unto you dear New York, Will I e'er see you once more | ||
+ | For it fills my heart with sorrow, To leave your sylvan shore | ||
+ | But the country now it is calling us, And we must hasten fore | ||
+ | So here's to the stars and stripes, me boys, And to Ireland' | ||
+ | |||
+ | And here's to Murphy and Devine, Of honour and renown | ||
+ | Who did escort our heroes, Unto the battle ground | ||
+ | And said unto our colonel, We must fight hand to hand | ||
+ | Until we plant the stars and stripes, Way down in Dixieland | ||
+ | |||
+ | So we gave them a hearty cheer, me boys, It was greeted with a smile | ||
+ | Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise, We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth | ||

+ | Searching for the best break the black forties could afford them | ||
+ | Came these ever-proud world-renowned rowdy, roving men | ||
+ | With a firmness and a purpose that so many did dismiss | ||
+ | Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their stinking coffin ships | ||
+ | From the prison of their lonely hearts they labored long and hard | ||
+ | Working 18+hour days for the B.A.C. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Intelligent, | ||

+ | Where you came from was a time and place that you had never been | ||
+ | - Is this the only road | ||
+ | Can you fake your way through conversation or just simply turn away | ||
+ | Set a course for the desert sun is this the only choice | ||
+ | To live without a choice, this is the only choice we'll know | ||
+ | Cut your teeth and now it's time to show the world that what your made of | ||
+ | Was a travesty that many just call luck | ||
+ | - Is this the only road | ||
+ | Now climb aboard the red line train that's headed out of town | ||
+ | Or stick around and just relive your past | ||
+ | You're always running out of wind and you keep saying it's the end | ||
+ | You're always hoping that you'll win, but then you throw in the towel in | ||
+ | |||
