lyrics

3 a.m. on a Thursday in May
Walking across the River Liffey
Shaking off the smoke
From the Firehouse Skank Club
Plane home leaves at 7:50
Cobblestone walk on the way to our room
The Spirit of Dublin fell upon me
With scabby-face sycophants hanging on each arm
I realized they’d come here to hurt me
She stole my flowers and took my hat
And kicked me in the balls
But you can’t beat the shit out of no memories
Can’t drive them through no brick walls
Who said that “living well
Is the sweetest revenge”?
She stole my flowers and took my hat
And kicked me in the balls

Rode my way home on the back of a bus
Smelled like an old leak in a bathroom
Two kids joking, “don’t call me Imam, you chocha!”
Time seemed to pass in some kind of a vacuum
Later that night eating left over take out
Action News channel man says
“Late breaking news, I regret to report to you
Rock and roll has been pronounced dead,
No further details as of yet are available,
No one’s releasing any statements
Of course, there were a few open warrants
And pending investigations
More details as news breaks,
Now back to you, Gus”
It was cold and raining when I got out of work
So I rode home in the back of a bus


Notes:
The Firehouse Skank was a DJ night in Dublin, which continues to function under the name Firehouse Skank Sound System.

Lyrics make references to Johnny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory", and "The Bus" by Buffalo Tom.
