Last night as I lay dreaming. My way across the sea. James Mangan brought me comfort. With laudnum and poitin. He flew me back to Dublin. In 1819. To a public execution.
Long years ago I fell in love. With a lady proud and fair. So passionate were she and I. We made fire in the air. I loved her more than life itself. She loved me just the same.
There was Zombi, there was Chino. There was Jimmy and Chiarakaparos. We agreed to split the stuff up. At a Mexican funeral in Paris. Don Alvaro Jose Sanchez.
My Daddy was a sinner, but my. Mother was a saintly person. But I ruined my life by drinking, bad. Wives, taking pills and cursing. Rock and roll you crucified me,.
When he stepped up the narrow street. Smiling proud and young. Around the hemp, around his neck. The golden ringlets clung. There was never a tear in his blue eyes.
Now come tell me Sean O'Farrell. Tell me why you hurry so?. Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen. And his cheeks were all aglow. . I have orders from the captain.
Who dares to speak of Donegal. You get kicks in the bars and kicks in the balls. The harp that played in Tara's halls. Is burning on the dump. . Virginia is a gin town.
Do you remember that sunny day. Somewhere in London. In the middle of nowhere. Didn't have nothing to do that day. Didn't wanna do nothing anyway. . You got a way of walking.
See the moon is once more rising. Above our our land of black and green. Hear the rebels voice is calling. "I shall not die, though you bury me!". Hear the Aunt in bed a-dying.
Skinheads, coppers, all cock sucker, punks. Me I'm recovering from a nine day drunk. Hands of a bar maid. Bringing off a bald headed monk. All this and more for just one line of junk.
The coat she wore still lies upon the bed. The book I gave her that she never read. She left without a single word to say. Her father didn't like me anyway.
Well I must have been stoned when this whole started,. 'Cause I just can't seem to think straight anymore.. . Can't figure out where I'm at, maybe Memphis, maybe Mexico..
I just talked to my baby on the telephone,. She said, "Stop what you're doing and baby come on home.". I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long.. I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone..
Tell me which way is up. Cause I never get there. Feel like I'm stuck in the mud. Back forty of nowhere. I need a new kind of sign. Not just stop every time.
Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes,. You know 'bout that babe, had them old walkin' blues.. Woke up this morning, I feel 'round for my shoes,.
Got a few bad habits babe. Yeah but baby you're the one I need to stay. Got a few bad habits babe. Yeah but baby you're the one I need to stay. I got to cut you lose now baby.
What's good about a good thing. That turns it's back and walks away.. What's the point in a good love.. That never has the time to stay.. . Well it has to be a cruel mind.
time moves slowly around the axis of. a vortex mind. swallowing the whole,. invisible to a turquoise eye. I'm here bt I can't find. evidence about this place.
my face is changing in a different light. inside the inside of an ocean. my body dissolves into the night. tales of a mon void of emotion. little boy blue shiny eyes.
call it love. call it grief. you can call it anything. but I still can't believe. you think it's real. make a scene it's obscene. every time. you're slowly slowly slowly losing your mind.
