Away from my foot

When dark clouds are gathering all around me head
And I can稚 be bothered to get out of bed
I値l pick up me Bodhran me mando or me flute
And play all me troubles away from me foot

When everyday life is getting me down
And I can稚 wear a smile but only a frown
I値l put on me best suit I bought it off the peg
And I値l play all me troubles away from me leg

When I have drunk the town dry and I知 left without a penny
No lover in sight, no lassies not any
I値l play me fiddle in the kitchen or sat here in me vest
And I値l play all me troubles away from me chest

Now I値l open another bottle cos I gotta drink some more
But I better be careful or I値l end up on the floor
I値l play me one more tune afore I go to bed
And play all me troubles away from me head

I Drunk My Dreams


When I was a young man how far I had to go,
I reached for the stars,
and the moon too you know,
But real life soon caught me, reality痴 a bitch,
Afore I know it I知 digging a ditch.

CHORUS:

I spent all me money at the end of the day,
I drunk all my dreams and I pissed them away.

I went up to London to find the streets of Gold,
But all that I found there was,
rain sleet and snow,
and I never made a penny,
and I never had a drink,
this London was bollocks,
reality stinks.

CHORUS:

So I comes back to me Mammys house,
In Essex for my Tea,
And I sets me down in Southend On Sea,
And I致e been here ever since,
Choking for a drink,
But those Estuary views are,
better than you think.

CHORUS:
