Oh, it's 6 o'clock and it's time to rock. And me head is beatin' like a drum. In the cold gray light, ah I feel like shite. And I can't remember last night's fun.
Marchin' down O'Connell Street with the Starry Plough on high. There goes the Citizen Army with their fists raised in the sky. Leading them is a mighty man with a mad rage in his eye.
Izzy was a tailor down the lower east side. The very man to top you off with dignity and pride. His mother wanted him to marry a Katz from Houston Street.
Six months out on the road. Don't know if I'm ever goin' home. Out there in the middle of America. Out of my head, feelin' hysterical. . Wishin' I was back in New York.
(Irish lyrics). . Mo chreach gharchiseach. N rabhas ar do chlaibh. nuair lmhadh an pdar,. go ngeobhainn im chom dheas. n i mbinn mo ghna,. is go ligfinn cead siil leat.
I remember your eyes from the 12th of July. When the sirens were screamin' and the flames lit the sky. And you held me so tight, thought you'd never let go.
Born on a black Monday, me mother screamin' curses. Me old lad in the pub losin' money on the horses. Me granny kicked in the door said, "Get a job, you bastard".
Danny came over to old New York. From Bandon town in the county Cork. He got a room on the avenue in Woodside Queens. And a job off the books doin' demolition.
I remember you back in 1992. When they were putting us down. Trying to tramp us into the ground. You exploded like a flame in the night. With a righteous indignation.
She fell hard for a Celtic rocker. Turned her whole life upside down. Her old man don't know what to do with her. Out drinkin' Guinness, buyin' her own round.
Standing in your hallway, kiss your angel hair. Hear your old grandmother recite her immigrant prayer. She knew what you had to do, she'd probably kill you first, first.
My name is Bobby Sands MP. Born in the city of Belfast. Divided by religion I grew up fast. I was stabbed and I was spat upon. My family run out of its home.
Carlita is waiting down on C & 9th. In mantilla and lace and her lover's knife. Cries out for revenge, she is silent like a stone. Beautiful in her widow's weeds.
Mister Frankie Diamond was my best friend. We were partners in a business down on C and 7th. Nothin' ever got this good brother down. He was a real live wire in an electric town.
Everything is still not a chicken not a body. Just an awful sicken silence roarin' in my brain. And the fog of death deepens and lies upon the land. An ould wan rolls over on her back.
Mo chara is mo lao thu!. My friend and my calf. Is aisling tr nallaibh. A vision in dream. Do deineadh arir dom. Was revealed to me last night. Igcorcaigh go danach.
I stole some butter to put on my bread. A crime against God, king and parliament. No fancy lawyer to defend my case. So I was sentenced at the Mayo Assizes.
On the banks of the Hudson. My love and I lay down. Just above 42nd Street. While the rain was pouring down. . When I covered her with kisses. The sparks lit up her eyes.
Open up the door, she's standin' there. With the smile in her eyes but the gray in her hair. Betrays the fact you strayed far from home. With your drinkin', your smokin', you're whorin' around.
Open up the door, she's standin' there. With the smile in her eyes but the gray in her hair. Betrays the fact you strayed far from home. With your drinkin', your smokin', you're whorin' around.
