Favourite song lyrics

Keep your hands off Red haired Mary,
She and I will soon be wed,
We'll see the priest this very morning,
Tonight we'll sleep in a married bed.
 
Little bird, little bird, where is your nest?
'Tis in the bush that I love best
It’s in the tree, the holly tree
where all the boys do follow me
 
Sammy G said:
O Mary, we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May
O Mary, we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May

yha ha, I was singing this at work the other day. I got the usual look of "are you on drugs" "no, I'm just full of jesus and the holy spirit, never mind that nasty old god boy" I love singing hymns and praising jesus.

Here's one about the jesus juice.

Delirium Tremens

Christy Moore

I dreamt a dream the other night I couldn’t sleep a wink
The rats were tryin’ to count the sheep and I was off the drink
There were footsteps in the parlour and voices on the stairs
I was climbin’ up the walls and movin’ round the chairs.
I looked out from under the blanket up at the fireplace.
The Pope and John F. Kennedy were starin’ in me face.*
Suddenly it dawned at me I was getting the old D.T.s
When the Child o’ Prague began to dance around the mantlepiece.

CHORUS

Goodbye to the Port and Brandy, to the Vodka and the Stag,
To the Schmiddick and the Harpic, the bottled draught and keg.
As I sat lookin’ up the Guinness ad I could never figure out
How your man stayed up on the surfboard after 14 pints of stout.

Well I swore upon the bible I’d never touch a drop.
My heart was palpitatin’ I was sure ’twas going to stop,
Thinkin’ I was dyin’ I gave my soul to God to keep.
A tenner to St. Anthony to help me get some sleep.
I fell into an awful nightmare – got a dreadful shock.
When I dreamt there was no Duty-free at the airport down in Knock.
George Seawright was sayin’ the rosary and SPUC were on the pill.**
Frank Patterson was gargled and he singin’ Spancil Hill.

CHORUS

I dreamt that Mr. Haughey had recaptured Crossmaglen
Then Garret got re-elected and gave it back again.
Dick Spring and Roger Casement were on board the Marita-Ann
As she sailed into Fenit they were singin’ Banna Strand.
I dreamt Archbishop McNamara was on Spike Island for 3 nights
Havin’ been arrested for supportin’ Traveller’s rights.
I dreamt that Ruairi Quinn was smokin’ marijuana in the Dail
Barry Desmond handin’ Frenchies out to scuts in Fianna Fail.

CHORUS

I dreamt of Nell McCafferty and Mary Kenny too
The things that we got up to, but I’m not tellin’ you.
I dreamt I was in a jacuzzi along with Alice Glenn
’twas then I knew I’d never ever, ever drink again.

CHORUS

[In Christy’s live versions, the previous 2 verses are replaced with the following; ]

I dreamt I was in ecstacy in Heaven, and in agony in Hell,
I was bored in Limbo and then I was in Purgatory as well
And there was original sins and venial sins and mortal sins by the score
So I tied barbed wire around my underpants and flagellated myself on the floor
Then I dreamt I was in the confessional box and the auld Bishop said to me;
‘Any impure thoughts, my child?’
Sure the f**king barbed wire was killin’ me!
And then I dreamt I was in the jacuzzi with that auld hoor from No. 10
And then I knew I’d never ever, ever drink again.

* – In later versions, Jack Charlton gets a mention!
** – Ian Paisley was sayin’ the rosary and Mother Teresa was on the pill
 
Aye, that's a great song. :D

In the filth and piss they lived in
They would sometimes hum an air
Or talk in tongues of madness
Keeping time upon the chair
And for their wrists a numbered tab
In Westminster morgue
On a cold, hard slab
When I was still a young man
In NW3

Now I'd like to tell you what your smile was for
And I loved you from the moment that you walked through that door
And I knew that I'd been with you before
In some other time
Some other place
Some other time
Some other place

For H. <3
 
When I awoke, the Dire Wolf
Six hundred pounds of sin
Was grinnin at my window
All I said was "come on in"
 
Until the day
Their troubles stray
On to my patch
Like Tony Hatch's 'Crossroads' theme
Please go away
 
Someone said romance is dead
But I'm afraid that I don't agree
If you've a heart of lead
And a hole in your head
You're so blind that you can't see
There's a fire burns
As the world turns
Lights up our dreams
Who else said romance is dead?
Come take a walk with me
 
I sprayed your name on the side of a train
Watched lovers kiss in the final frame
A silhouette dancing in a window pane
Love is a burning flame
The girl on a runway waiting for a plane
Is sweeter than the locket on a golden chain
Lights awake down a misty lane
See a rainbow every time it rains
 
Flowers at sunset, blues in the night
Kissed by a river in the pale moonlight
The words of the poets, lovers who sighed
Beneath the moon's eye in the heat of the night
Bathed in the glow of an old gaslight
Sitting in the rain it's a wonderful life
Take you in my arms and hold you tight
Lost in the stars with the satellites
 
I gently stepped up to her and unto her did say
"Are you Arora or Flora queen of May?
Or are you pray Fair Ellen that appears all in my view?"
But the title that she gave herself was the maid of Ballydoo
 
Let us haste to Kelvin Grove, bonny lassie, O
Thro' its mazes let us rove, bonny lassie, O
Where the roses in their pride
Deck the bonnie dingle side
Where the midnight fairies glide, bonny lassie, O.
 
I knew this girl when I was young
She took her spikes from everyone
One night she swallowed half the lake
That's how you sing Amazing Grace
 
I know the ground round here too well
Every crack and corner of my cell
Seems my world has been reduced in size
And I'm running very low
Running very low on highs
 
Lost a friend to cocaine
Couple friends to smack
Troubled hearts map deserts
And they rarely do come back
Lost a friend to oceans
Lost a friend to hills
Lost a friend to suicide
Lost a friend to pills
Lost a friend to monsters
Lost a friend to shame
Lost a friend to marriage
Lost a friend to blame
Lost a friend to worry
And lost a friend to wealth
Lost a friend to stubborn pride
And then I lost myself
 
Someone said romance is dead
But I'm afraid that I don't agree
If you've a heart of lead
And a hole in your head
You're so blind that you can't see
There's a fire burns
As the world turns
Lights up our dreams
Who else said romance is dead?
Come take a walk with me
 
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick
Yes, I waited for you when you hated me
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
When you knew I had some other place to be
Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately
