lyrics

Chorus
Lend me this month`s rent, cause I just pawned me last guitar
and the broken piece of junk, won`t get me very far
I promise that tomorrow I`ll get myself a job
I just need this last drink, just to take the edge off

The boss man he said "we don`t need you around, The economy is bad, there`s no jobs to be found"
The bank send their bills and the family needs food, a man without a job is man subdued
Your pride takes a blow and your self esteem is low, don`t know who to turn to or where you can go
The pride you once saw when facing the mirror, is fading as the lack of hope comes nearer

Chorus

You spend hours on applications that filled you with pride, but they soon leave you shameful cause again you`re denied
Thanks for your time but someone else was just better, it’s the same old fucking message in every letter
You settle for less to have something to do, each day at your work is a turn off the screw
All those years spend in school now nothing to show, a dead end job and nowhere to go



Chorus

Everywhere you yeah the question`s the same: "What is it you do?"
The answer fills you with shame, you hoped for something else and strived for something better
But all that you got was a rejection letter
Only 40 more years of punching in punching out, It will be the death of you and that’s without a doubt
As time wears on despair is all you exude , a man without a job is a man subdued

Chorus
When the sun rises tomorrow a new man will appear
I´ll shed these drunken ropes a gentler man will be there
So lend me this month`s rent cause I just pawned me last guitar
And the tuneless old thing won`t get me very far

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
