Flogging Molly - Life in a tenement square
Tekst :
Well I kissed the day, I was on my wayFrom those cold gray blocks of stone
For seventeen years of squalor filled tears
A time now with innocence lost
As the sun split the room
With its rays filled with gloom
Turnin’ all hope to despair
And the only thing left
Was to flee from the nest
That was Life In A Tenement Square…
I remember the song where the rats sang along
And danced for their daily bread
While the damp washed the walls
That were twenty feet tall
Not a child in the house was fed
On the porter filled face
Of the men left a trace
Of the coin they had already spent
While our mothers asked God
What was Hell ever for
When you lived in a Tenement Square
Grab what’s left of the coal
From the ol’ cubbyhole
These cinders need more to be a fire
While the ghosts of the soldiers
That lived there before us
Laugh with their guns by their side
I hear them laugh, with their guns by their side
Now politicians they dwell
In that forgotten Hell
Our misery’s been turned into mews
Where the fat of the land
Now hog, hand-in-hand
A crime now of life was ever true
As the sun split the room
With its rays filled with gloom
Turnin’ all hope to despair
And the only thing left
Was to flee from the nest
That was Life In A Tenement Square…

Chocolate
You re sweeter than the sweets you brought
I melt like chocolateon your palm
You re as sweet as you re touching
You re everything I m seeing
My every thought is all about you
You re everything I fear: you re my every dream
My heart believes your every smile
My brain says I...
I melt like chocolateon your palm
You re as sweet as you re touching
You re everything I m seeing
My every thought is all about you
You re everything I fear: you re my every dream
My heart believes your every smile
My brain says I...
2000 Miles
There s something I need to say
I m not sad you re gone away no way
Won t be calling information
Or waiting at the railway station
You walked out of my front door
I wasn t then but now I m sure
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000...
I m not sad you re gone away no way
Won t be calling information
Or waiting at the railway station
You walked out of my front door
I wasn t then but now I m sure
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000...

Love and affection

Here she comes
(J)
Ooh, just like an angel
Seems like forever that she?s been on my mind
But not nothing has changed
She thinks I?m a waste of her time
(All)
There she goes

Heroes
Image of mine are you just a myth?
Aiming for the stars and a need to exist
Singing your life to its final bar,
Staging all the scenes to avoid who you are.
Idol of mine will you lead me on?
Build for me...
