Spraypaint Backalley Lyrics - It's All Good - Damien Dempsey

Down a spraypaint backalley, I look up at the sky 

And I see through red eyes 

The seagulls wheel around and around Worn out couches and fridges, and mongrel dogs roam free 

There are rags and there are riches Inside this head for me 

We drink cheap English cider, and smoke hashish from North Africa. 

I've been tryin' to get the mix right, But I haven't got it right tonight. 

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh... 

I've a fifteen year old moustache, 

I'm so desperate for to be a man. People tell me to shave it off, 

If I shave it I'm a boy again. 

Watch my father and my brother, Fixing old cars. 

And their rough oil stained hands, 

Are skilled and scarred. 

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh...

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Behind this big rusty shed door 

There's a punch bag and a clapped out car 

As the car sits on breeze blocks 

The punch bag takes some heavy shots 

Down the lane way sniffin' petrol 

I thought pebbledash was snow 

As I stumbled in a blizzard 

The pain inside me disappeared 

Cross the city down the alleys 

A thousand kids like me 

They are watching through red eyes 

The flock of little birds gracefully gliding by 

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh... 

Fought in the lane, lost in the lane 

Swallowed the shame, then I fought again 

Fought in the lane, cried in the lane Swallowed the pain, then I fought again 

Fell in the lane, got back up in the lane Died in the lane, and came alive again
