LYRICS: The butcher’s apron waving In the fragrant London smog Just makes me want to go beyont A-working in the bog Their eyes get wide as i start to sing The songs of Fenian men And they don't know if they should clap Or throw me out again For all the crowns in England They couldn't quench my thirst So I wandered back to Dundalk town The place that quenched it first Winston’s little smushed up face And beady little eyes Look down at me from his golden frame And a face full of despise There's no photos of Maggie or Pecker on the wall The lads over here don’t sing or dance they just watch football. For all the crowns in England They couldn't quench my thirst So I wandered back to Dundalk town The place that quenched it first They come from every county They’ve traded in their boots The army and the navy Is getting new recruits I said my names Charles Hendy I come from Dundalk town And when I see your George’s cross I want to pull it down And when I’m far from Ireland’s shore And I hear the piper’s drone, I close my eyes and step aboard, And in no time I’m home
Mushed up face and beady little eyes🤌🏼
Long live Ireland 💚🤍🧡 Love from Italy 💚🤍❤️
Yup the lads, album is a belter
love this - I like how they've kind of interpolated traditional melodies into their original songs. I can hear 'Come my little son' in the verse and a definite nod to 'McAlpine's Fusiliers' at the very end.
