The Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn - The Pogues[00:00:00]
McCormack and Richard Tauber are singing by the bed[00:00:42]
There's a glass of punch below your feet and an angel at your head[00:00:50]
There's devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands[00:00:57]
You need one more drop of poison and you'll dream of foreign lands[00:01:04]
When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in Cologne[00:01:12]
And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone[00:01:16]
Frank Ryan bought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid[00:01:19]
And you decked some f**king black shirt who was cursing all the Yids[00:01:22]
At the sick bed of Cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer[00:01:25]
But the ghosts are rattling at the door and devil's in the chair[00:01:28]
Well in the Euston Tavern you screamed it was your shout[00:01:37]
But they wouldn't give you service so you kicked the windows out[00:01:40]
They took you out into the street kicked you in the brains[00:01:43]
So you walked back in through a bolted door and did it all again[00:01:45]
At the sick bed of Cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer[00:01:49]
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair[00:01:52]
You remember that foul evening when you heard the banshees howl[00:02:17]
There was lazy drunken bastards singing Billy in the bowl[00:02:26]
They took you up to midnight mass and left you in the lurch[00:02:33]
So you dropped a button in the plate and spewed up in the church[00:02:41]
Now you'll sing a song of liberty for blacks and paks and jocks[00:02:51]
And they'll take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box[00:02:54]
Then they'll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground[00:02:57]
But you'll stick your head back out and shout we'll have another round[00:03:00]
At the graveside of Cuchulainn we'll kneel around and pray[00:03:03]
And God is in his heaven and Billy's down by the bay[00:03:06]
