Flogging Molly - Life in a tenement square

Tekst :

Well I kissed the day, I was on my way
From 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…

  • Black friday rule
  • Never met a girl like you before
  • The rare ould times
  • The son never shines
  • The worst day since yesterday
  • Screaming at the wailing wall
  • Whistles the wind
  • May the living be dead
  • The wanderlust
  • The spoken wheel
  • Far away boys
  • Drink and fight
  • Seven drunken nights
  • Rebels of the sacred heart

    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...

    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...

    Where are they now

    I believed in julie when she said how easy it would be and i believed in tony and his written words of anarchy and i believed in joe when he said we had to fight and i believed in jimmy when he told us to unite (chorus) where are they...

    Love and affection

    (All)
    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...
