The Tossers

Long ago, far away, far across the sea There were those in Ireland who had marched for equality So that everyone would know Everyone would know That civil rights are something now That everyone should know Oh and still I hear their voices cry God ble...

My great Grandpa was a king, a monarch stout and noble. He surveyed this land so green, and he said "She's fair and humble". As far as the eye can see, from Carrauntooil to Giant's Causeway was ours, until they went and made a criminal of me. Many a Celtic h...

O’ where are you now my love of mine? I’ve had every drop of my brandy and wine. Until I’m safe within your arms, my tears fill all of my days. O’ say that you won’t leave me and say you won’t deceive me. It’s a fine man you are; my God you have my heart....

Oh the first time ever I met you I remember it so clear Standing in a smoky room Beside a pint of beer And the next time ever I met you I dreamed of life with you And I dreamed that I could be happy And I dreamed that it could be true Oh a ghra mo ch...

Slainte today on me, tomorrow boys it may not be. Make life what it could have been and please remember me. I am the wise man from the east, my name is Brendan Behan. Imagine a love you have to hide from the peering eyes within my time. I’m not an abominat...

I left my home, and I picked up a gun, Left the mountains and the valleys And the linnet's sweet old song, In defense of Dublin City and Our Rights defense, it's true, For that is where we met, And I did it all for you. I did it all for you, Oh I did it all f...

May the road rise up to meet ya now Wherever you may be Oh and may God hold you in his hand Until you come to me And like the blackbird on the wall Now we both will fly away To where the beer and whiskey flow on Every single day And we will, We will...

Uncle Sam, as you know, changed our names long ago When we got to Americas door And we slaved and we cowed, and we begged and we bowed For a dime and a place on the floor Now Chicago it rings with the old songs and things That the Irish we brought to th...

Do we have time for one more song Before we move along Fare you well, to the ones I do adore Fare you well, till we meet again once more Do we have time for one more round Fill ‘em up and drink ‘em down 

One bright morning I walked down the glen and down the mountain side. Not bound to work in the clay no more to go where the day may bide. And down the borren a cold wind rose, a ghost upon the breeze. To moan and kick up old angers and torments upon me. Ge...

Goodmornin' Da, oh I'm in jail. I don't need you to try for bail. If I know Ma, she'll scream and wail, so just lock me up and throw away the keys. Well goodbye to my own Dublin dear, and goodbye to old St. Brigid's there. Well I wasn't born with this, but no...

When I was a child I would lie in the green and look up to the sky. Pondering how our gravity held us from floating into nothingness to die. Into nothingness to die, shit. Then where did I come from? Does God really exist, does heaven exist or am I the only...

Now some delight in the cannons fire Or stacking gold up higher and higher But I delight in a young girls call For I was born to court them all So step to you, Maidrin rua Step to you my darlin Step to you Maidrin rua I will court them all I will cour...

At Arlington at the race outside of town Herself and me were up before the dawn She fixed her hair up and then we headed down On a fine spring morning The car park swelled as far as you could see The queue's alive with bubbling energy I found a place for her...

It's oh so late, are you asleep? There's not a sound, so it's time for me to dream. The window pane, late city scenes, so far away from where I was weaned. There was a girl so long ago, all through the park at night we go. All just as late as it is now, tw...

When I’m drunk I dream of you, when I’m dry its of you too. I have my clothes tucked in my bag, in case you do not want me back. And when I smile it wont be long, long again till I’m on my own. Oh on the street and with the poor, to drink until I can think no...

Oh my love, you will be Be my love, endlessly Oh I am, proud of you All you are, all in you When your hurt, I hurt too When you cry, I do too Hold my hand, let you go All the pain, that you know If I can’t, be with you Hear my voice, deep in you...

Well I consented to throw a ball And out they all were turning, All the wise ones, one and all, All the men and women of learning. All of learning the lazy ways, Of rag men and their brothers. Slothful artistic fools, Who were tossed out by their mothers [Cho...

Well, there's no loot, there's no booze and it's no fun. Well, there's no loot, there's no booze and it's no fun. Well, there's no loot, there's no booze and it's no fun. Well, there's no loot, there's no booze and it's no fun. Oh, Dee Dee Ramone, where have...

What is called Queenstown is called the Cobh of Cork [4x], So I think I’d like some brandy and some port. [Chorus:] Well there’s nothing wrong with a drop or two, For there’s no harm that will come to you. It makes enemies walk hand in hand, And it takes the...

I saw a young girl on the road,I found her walking home All through the dark and bitter cold, in the dead of night alone She stopped me there in the icy air,and in she climbed beside me And she asked me for to take her home,and she said her name was M...

The thunder cracks at the hills and plains, The rain does lash at your window pane. I am the ghost of your past refrain, I’m your conscience, let me in, let me in, I’m your conscience, let me in. You cannot bear to go on this way, You’ve passed many trials, B...

Here come the Boland brothers now The five of them straight from the plow Terry, that one, he’s a shite A babblin’ shitehawk big and bright Fight Fight I’m up against the Bolands Fight Fight I’m up against the wall Fight Fight I’m up against the Bola...

I stumbled into Merrion tow to listen to a tune. I fought my way down Grafton by the rising of the moon. I sat on the floor of my poxy room just me and the BBC eating bachelor’s beans out of the tin, there’s nothing here for me. And a rovin’ you will go....

I used to wonder where my da was at night When him and ma would start to fight Out soaked in 95th street beer It was the strap I had to fear As he would prowl around the southside at night I'm old enough now in these places to be seen With every gobshite fuck...

I grew up in Dublin Town I fought my way out round by round with Shane Brown. Coke and smack dangerous boys The corner girls they used as toys Our Maggie's as Dublin as could be She stepped into these filthy streets, stepped toward me. To turn her eye I pushe...

We'll live out our lives on this dirty old street, only because we just can't compete. But in the concrete of our younger days, we left our names. Just like the people before, when they reached the distant shore with their drink and their dance, and their d...

‘Twas on a lovely day in spring When all the roses were in bloom And the sun was shining down up on all the new birds in their plume When the horses came to town Out to the races big and small And I bet it all on a horse called Astoirinto win and to...

How are you How do you do Welcome to Chicago I was born here in this town Drink and music all around I’ll probably die here too as well She got me in her spell But that’s alright Hey that’s alright That’s the town where I was born ‘Twas there I me...

It's like a meditation when I'm drinking tea With my sisters that I never even knew really I'm trying really hard not to drink no more But I want to drive the wagon through the store My name is Paula Spencer With the gob you can dispense sir I don't need a dr...

There are those who follow leaders There are those in high command There are those who look up to the stars And beg to understand There are those who kneel, those who pray There are those of high degree There are those who find enlightenment Where it w...
