Irish drinking song

Я споткнулся, я пьян и накурен
Жена сказала:"С меня хватит, проваливай"
И я побрел в паб Келли через весь город
Там рассказал историю своим друзьям, и мы начали все сначала

мы будем пить, пить, пить, пить, пить, пить, и драться!

I've been walking miles forever
Through these footprints of my life
When I offered you my sadness
You took home with delight
Eat my heart when you are hungry
I have nothing more to give
Let us not forget each other
When our wounds begin to spill

T`was in the early evenin`
Near the presence of the moon
You told me you would meet me here
Well now is not too soon
This dagger twisting in my back
Tells me I never should
Have trusted everything to fall
From beggar to fool

Between a man and a woman
Life begins again
Between love and confusion
Here Lies only pain
Take my world,
Heal my soul,
Shake my pride,
Do not let go

I want to believe in myself once again
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth

And for every tear that is lost from an eye
I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
I want to believe in a freedom that's bold

Next time out to sea
Bring enough soul to bury me
For I don't want my final jig
In the belly of a squid
Take my trousers take my shirt
Just give me that sweet dirt
For the water's cold and grim
And I never did learn to swim

Death valley queen where have you been
Since they crowned you in glory
Filled your head with dreams
But it still goes to show in every desert
There's a rose that's blooming for all to be seen
I remember you well from that town
You did dwell with the face of an angel
In a dump hot as hell

Her breath began to speak
As she stood right in front of me
The colour of her eyes
Were the colour of insanity
Crushed beneath her wave
Like a ship, I could not reach her shore
We're all just dancers on the Devil's Dance Floor

I walk these streets where my soulless feet
Haunt the ground where it was I once tread
On Grafton's Arcade pours the rich commerce rain
Though the voices I no longer hear speak
Heaven's to blame so on that I'll abstain
Best clean the church from my cracked fingernail
But don't let me die still wondering
What it was I left behind

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Have blown us all to hell
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Forgotten freedom burns
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
to the bigot and the gun

Well I've drunk to drown, on every ocean I've been
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's land
Well I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez Canal

Cause Every Dog Has Its Day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight

Build a bridge or maybe two
Together held with footsteps she outgrew
But now she sits alone, everyone's long gone
She dances in a photograph
When it was good to joke and have a laugh
But that was yesterday, if only today
Now these walls are crawling faces that still breathe
But before she nods her head what's left but sleep

Well I worked on a railroad, for tuppins a day.
I drank down one penny, the other I'd save.
I hammered my hammer, for God knows how long.
Well into madness, with each setting sun.
I put my head down, and I dreamt you were here,
With me by the old tree, where no one could care.

[Chorus]

Drink away the rest of the day,
Wonder what my liver would say,
Drink, It's All you can.

Blackened days With their bigger gales,
Blow in your parlor to discust the day,
Listen it's all you can.

If I ever leave this world alive
I'll thank for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll come back down and sit beside your
feet tonight
Wherever I am you'll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive

If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll thank for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll come back down and sit beside your
Feet tonight
Wherever I am you’ll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive

If I ever leave this world alive
I'll thank for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll come back down and sit beside your
feet tonight
Wherever I am you'll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive

I bang on the door but you won't let me in,
'cause you're sick and tired of me reeking of gin.
Locked all the doors from the front to the back,
And left me a note telling me I should pack.

I walk in the bar and the fella's all cheer,
They order me up a whiskey and beer.
You ask me why I'm writing this poem,

Oh the churchbells are ringin' in the school yard,
and we all went out those days.
The bully said "Mick would you fancy a rumble?"
I said "Yes! Its time to play!"

Oh the nuns and the priests they grabbed their rosaries
as they pulled our bodies apart.
The bully said "Mick you lost the fight but you've gained my respect, you fight with so much heart!"

This next song is about a young lady called Laura
Who unfortunatley isn't with us anymore
But she's still called Laura
...Here we go...

Feel the words from my lips
To your harsh finger tips
Then you know where I come from

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

Picture an ending before it's begun
The art of forgiveness is not what we're taught
Reek of the havoc already made
The cradle was damaged, dug by the grave
Where you lie in the sin, for mortal's the soul
Forgive me this father before I go cold
From burden of grief and all I regret
Spare me the conscience before I forget

Said her name was Marie
From the banks of the Lee
With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen
Her hair like ripples
They danced with the tide
As our hearts washed away to the sea
Was she sent down from the heavens above
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love

Wipe the blood from your lip
With the flesh of your hand
Theres no thorn in the side left to grow
So lets cherrish the names that we lost for an age
With the rue now the supper must go
Where traditions they blend lives a home on the mend
The grass glistens now for alls eyes
So lets sever the shame we have come to reclaim

I'll wait for you till I turn blue
There's nothin' more a man can do
Don't get your bollocks in a twist
Settle down, don't take a fit
Ya drank with demons straight from Hell
They almost nearly won as well
Ya wiped the floor with victory
Then puked until you fell asleep

It took me everything I had
To give all that I could
Walk beside me while I sleep
Steer me from the slumber wolf
Tangled forest of the mind
Speaks to me of self-despise
Close the window through the pane
Hear the siren's serenade

You can't see the demons
Till the demons come calling for you
You're deaf to them screaming
Till they're standing right behind you
Blind to flames glowing
Till thy're growing all around you
Numb to fangs gripping
Until they're ripping into you

In the town of Milton one
Brian Flannigan battered away till his money was spent
Then he hit a big one and felt like a man again,
Bought a three decker with two floors for rent

He threw a big party for friends
And relations at a grand old place called Florian Hall
And if you'll just listen I'll make your eyes glisten

There's a government whip
Cracked across your back
Where the order of the day
Is don't listen attack
See the blood run down
In your bushwhacked town
Revolution is the gimmick
Of a jokeless clown

I spent 27 years in this factory
And the bossman says you're not what we need
The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greed
It's a solitary life when you have mouths to feed
But who cares about us

Now I'm back on the streets with my hands held shut
I'm a working man without any work

Saints and sinners are but we
Twisted wrecks of symmetry
Like broken arrows split
Against the mindless rift we feed
Saints and sinners are
And each other's company we seek

Though we took our separate paths

I'll wait for you till I turn blue
There's nothin' more a man can do
Don't get your bollocks in a twist
Settle down, don't take a fit
Ya drank with demons straight form Hell
They almost nearly won as well
Ya wiped the floor with victory
Then puked until you fell asleep

So God how come every wrong's been done?
With deals no Christ should allow
Once the communist now the terrorist
With blood as thick as yours
Now a caravan of clouds
Warns us all of winter showers
Then rattle comes the rain
With each bullet screams your name

I don't eat I just devour everyone in every hour
All is me is all I need and that's all that I care
Propelled through all this madness by your beauty and my sadness
I'll never change or rearrange till I've finished what I've started.

And life leads me here
It shows me I have never really loved no one but me
Like the time you slipped through my hands

I don't eat I just devour, everyone in every hour
All is me, is all I need and that's all that I care
Propelled through all this madness, by your beauty and my sadness
I'll never change or rearrange, till I've finished what I've started.

And life leads me here
It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me
Like the time, you slipped through my hands

I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny
Cause Sentimental Johnny is your man
Sunshine or rain, the man's on his game
The Chairman of the boards
He said Jesus, he walks on water
Not like us, he must have been sober
Marching away, on top of his lake
The Savior of all souls

Sail away where no ball and chain
Can keep us from the roarin' waves
Together undivided but forever we'll be free
So sail away aboard our rig
The moon is full and so are we
We're seven drunken pirates
We're the seven deadly sins

Speed of Darkness / Скорость тьмы

Bury me in silence
For I'll never hear the truth
My coffin will be empty
Cause you'll never steal my youth

I was born to live beside you

The sum of all my fears like dread are from demons yet to come
All the things I should've mentioned wave goodbye and "we'll see you soon"
It's the words I've never written that say more about myself
Where empty is the promise lies a pocket full of doubt

So may the road I've yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
Till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind

There's something in my eye
Well, there's something in my throat
Oh, maybe I'm not the man I used to be before
Although I'm feeling strong
It's the bed where I belong
Oh dancing days are over so I'm sipping on
Sipping on a toddy made with love

Many's the day I took for granted
Breathing the air that sinlenced some
As the North Wind blew
With its head of thunder
Beating its breast with a war drenched song
Bathe awhile, awash in slumber
Cry what's left to sleep
Where you dream of the love you left forever

This loney exsistence may use the way
For the hard of hearts must beat be brave
While this quite lightning storm
Wreaks the harvest gold we try to sow
So it begins
The way the light still dances beneath
the skin there the messenger from hell since were bound to win
As the days do come but the years do go

Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown
The passing tales and glories that once was Dublin Town
The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting childrens rhymes
That once was Dublin City in the rare ould times

Ring a ring a rosey, as the light declines
I remember Dublin City in the rare ould times

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'

[Chorus]
Do you still walk the streets at night?
With the wandlust you fight
Back to the corner where we went our
seperate ways

Well I'd love to photograph your hand
Then shake it for a while

Well I know, I miss more than hit
With a face that was launched to sink
An' I seldom feel, the bright relief
It's been the Worst Day Since Yesterday

If there's one thing I have said
Is that the dreams I once had, now lay in bed
As the four winds blow, my wits through the door

It's four in the mornin', battered and numb
A loaded room, an empty gun
I whistle a tune I heard years before
The clock started tickin', where did the time go?

Danced to the mornin' she called out my name
The wind was a howlin' and down came the rain
Her arms they caressed me, sweet was her brow

Tell me why must a man be of service
To his lord and the god seldom high
From the grave spring the name of our fathers
But there's no glint in a dead man's eye
Tell me why are our fields filled with hunger
And fruitless the crop bitter soil
So I say my farewell to a nation
As the leaf waves goodbye to it's son

[Chorus]
All to hell we must sail
For the Shores of sweet Barbados
Where the sugar cane grows taller
Than the god we once believed in
Till the butcher and his crown
Raped the land we used to sleep in
Now tommorow chimes of ghostly crimes

You, you never looked so good
Sipping life down like I wish I could
But these sober tears are all that's left to shed
Sank this soul, now made of lead

Face down beneath the rubble lies a man
Tales of the future already in the past
And of himself, well he hasn't much to say

His eyes they closed
and his last breath spoke
he had seen all to be seen
a life once full
now an empty vase
like the blossoms
on his early grave

As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with Captain Farrell, and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol, and I then produced my rapier.
Sayin' stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,

Chorus:
musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol

"Whistles The Wind"

Whistles the wind, blowing my way
Sweeping me back, back here to stay
Can winners be losers running on the same track?
Some head for glory, others refresh

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way

Whistles the wind, blowing my way
Sweeping me back, back here to stay
Can winners be losers running on the same track?
Some head for glory, others we crash

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me, you were doing okay

So with a wonder and a wild desire
I will crawl from under every weight
With a wonder and a wild desire
Bless the day it was i shared your name
Yesterday forever speaks your grave

Hailed the shower from the broadside
To the heavens down below

Dust falls on the empty halls of my old school
Where the memories fade like the casualty, a forgotten fool
Now wide-eyed has become the blind of spoken rule
As equal only deep is now the word
The lesson's not the answer you once heard

"Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down"
She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the ground

Well, I know, I miss more than hit
With a face that was launched to sink
An' I seldom feel, the bright relief
It's been the worst day since yesterday

If there's one thing I have said
Is that the dreams I once had, now lay in bed
As the four winds blow, my wits through the door
