Lyrics

[00:00.70] I was lured by the rocking horse
[00:04.26] Sweets and the bualadh bos
[00:05.63] Fifty wild boys to a room
[00:08.50] Sing lh, lh eile, the dish ran away with the spoon
[00:11.75]
[00:14.11] Black shoes and stockings for those who say don't
[00:16.87] Blue is the colour outside
[00:18.92]
[00:19.68] God made the world
[00:20.86] The snake tempted Eve and she died
[00:22.86]
[00:25.03] Wild Christian brothers sharpening their leathers
[00:27.53] Learn it by heart, that's the rule
[00:29.73]
[00:30.47] All I remember is dreading September and school
[00:34.96]
[00:35.71] And they made me for better or worse
[00:38.89] The fool that I am or the wise man I'll be
[00:41.83] And they gave me their blessings or curse
[00:44.39] It wasn't their fault I was me ...
[00:46.69]
[00:47.70] Not the one that you see
[00:50.06]
[00:51.24] The priest in confession condemns my obsession
[00:54.00] With thoughts that I do not invite
[00:55.80]
[00:56.68] I mumble and stutter
[00:58.05] He slams down the shutter
[00:59.48] Goodnight - （Good night to you too, Father）
[01:02.04] Stainless as steel
[01:03.35] Lord, you know how I feel
[01:04.78] Someone shoot me while my soul is clear
[01:06.53]
[01:07.22] I don't think I'll last
[01:08.84] But my vow to abstain was sincere
[01:10.34] Arch-confraternity men to the fight
[01:15.33]
[01:15.90] Raise up your banners on high
[01:17.71]
[01:18.58] Searching for grace
[01:19.95] Securing my place
[01:21.14] When I die
[01:21.98]
[01:38.20] Oh God, he kept a very close eye on me
[01:40.64] Hung round my bed in the darkness, he spied on me
[01:43.57] Caught me in the long grass so often, he died on me....
[01:46.25]
[01:49.12] Ballrooms of romance in Salthill or Mallow
[01:51.68] I stood like John Wayne by the wall
[01:53.81]
[01:54.49] Lined up like cattle, we waited to do battle and fall
[01:58.79]
[01:59.67] You can't wine and dine her in an old Morris Minor
[02:02.67] So ask her before it's too late
[02:04.66]
[02:05.16] I danced on girls' toes - accepted rejection as my fate
[02:08.40] Drink was my saviour, it made me much braver
[02:13.71] But I couldn't hold it too well
[02:16.33] I slipped on the coach and ruined my approach as I fell
