lyrics

One even night I was heading out, I saw her sadden face
Steering back at me from across the streets, a Lady full of grace
I closed me eyes till she was gone, like a leaf in the wind
I blamed it on imagination, but soon should see her again
Next time that I saw her, I was lying in my bed
I awoke from dreams to find myself, trembling with dread
From across the room she stood there, standing, pointing her fingers at me
I heard her voice inside me head, you´re mine I guarantee

Chorus
She`s the messenger of death, a lonely soul with a curse
If she calls your name, you`ll be riding in the hearse
She`s as sure as fuckin’ taxes, so get ready to make amends
´Cause the ghost of Anne Reily will surely be your end

As days they passed and months went by, I saw her everywhere
I thought I was going insane, became filled up with despair
I tried to tell me friends, but they all just laughed at me
There´s no such thing as ghosts, they all seemed to agree
Then all of a sudden she was gone, or so at least it seemed
I started to believe that she was just a part of my dreams
Then she came up to me and said life of sin has treated you well
But now you must with cause they wait for you in hell

Chorus

Found myself floating like a ghost up in the air
Looked upon my friends who were all unaware
Of my presence, they seemed to mourn but of whom I didn`t know
Till I saw me body frozen solid in the winter snow
Her destiny dark and grim has passed on down to me
Searching for the souls that live in immorality
So if your living isn`t proper with prayers and honesty
Know that you`ll soon be facing the ghosts of Anne Reily and me

Rovers Ahead Copenhagen, Denmark

Rovers Ahead are drunken lullabies at 3 am. They´re the energy of punk and the soul of the Irish song. They´re Irish leadsinger Nathan Corcoran´s stories of drinking, debauchery, family tragedy and lost love. They´re traditional instruments such as violin, mandolin and banjo in a back alley fight with hard-hitting drums, pumping bass and loud guitars. They´re Irish pub punk - and they´re good ... more
