I was lured by the rocking horse[00:00:00]
Sweets and the bualadh bos[00:00:04]
Fifty wild boys to a room[00:00:05]
Sing lh lh eile the dish ran away with the spoon[00:00:08]
Black shoes and stockings for those who say don't[00:00:14]
Blue is the colour outside[00:00:16]
God made the world[00:00:19]
The snake tempted Eve and she died[00:00:20]
Wild Christian brothers sharpening their leathers[00:00:25]
Learn it by heart that's the rule[00:00:27]
All I remember is dreading September and school[00:00:30]
And they made me for better or worse[00:00:35]
The fool that I am or the wise man I'll be[00:00:38]
And they gave me their blessings or curse[00:00:41]
It wasn't their fault I was me [00:00:44]
Not the one that you see[00:00:47]
The priest in confession condemns my obsession[00:00:51]
With thoughts that I do not invite[00:00:54]
I mumble and stutter[00:00:56]
He slams down the shutter[00:00:58]
Goodnight - (Good night to you too Father)[00:00:59]
Stainless as steel[00:01:02]
Lord you know how I feel[00:01:03]
Someone shoot me while my soul is clear[00:01:04]
I don't think I'll last[00:01:07]
But my vow to abstain was sincere[00:01:08]
Arch-confraternity men to the fight[00:01:10]
Raise up your banners on high[00:01:15]
Searching for grace[00:01:18]
Securing my place[00:01:19]
When I die[00:01:21]
Oh God he kept a very close eye on me[00:01:38]
Hung round my bed in the darkness he spied on me[00:01:40]
Caught me in the long grass so often he died on me [00:01:43]
Ballrooms of romance in Salthill or Mallow[00:01:49]
I stood like John Wayne by the wall[00:01:51]
Lined up like cattle we waited to do battle and fall[00:01:54]
You can't wine and dine her in an old Morris Minor[00:01:59]
So ask her before it's too late[00:02:02]
I danced on girls' toes - accepted rejection as my fate[00:02:05]
Drink was my saviour it made me much braver[00:02:08]
But I couldn't hold it too well[00:02:13]
I slipped on the coach and ruined my approach as I fell[00:02:16]
