The Sicked Bed Of Cuchulainn—The Pogues[00:00:01]
McCormack and Richard Tauber are singing by the bed[00:00:32]
There's a glass of punch below your feet and an angel at your head[00:00:36]
There's devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands[00:00:42]
You need one more drop of poison and you'll dream of foreign lands[00:00:48]
When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in cologne[00:00:56]
And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone[00:00:59]
Frank Ryan brought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid[00:01:03]
And you decked some f**king blackshirt who was cursing all the yids[00:01:06]
At the sick bed of Cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer[00:01:09]
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair[00:01:12]
And in the Euston tavern you screamed it was your shout[00:01:23]
But they wouldn't give you service so you kicked the windows out[00:01:26]
They took you out into the street and kicked you in the brains[00:01:29]
So you walked back in through a bolted door and did it all again[00:01:33]
At the sick bed of Cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer[00:01:36]
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair[00:01:39]
You remember that foul evening when you heard the banshees howl[00:01:57]
There was lousy drunken bastards singing billy is in the bowl[00:02:03]
They took you up to midnight mass and left you in the lurch[00:02:10]
So you dropped a button in the plate and spewed up in the church[00:02:16]
Now you'll sing a song of liberty for blacks and paks and jocks[00:02:25]
And they'll take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box[00:02:28]
Then they'll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground[00:02:32]
But you'll stick your head back out and shout "We'll have another round"[00:02:35]
At the graveside of Cuchulainn we'll kneel around and pray[00:02:38]
And god is in his heaven and billy's down by the bay[00:02:41]
