lyrics

Here`s a drunken lullaby, about the day that I was born
A cold October morning, with me mother`s stomach torn
I was raised by me ma
me dad now and then
A very seldom sober man, always trying to make amends
There where to many reasons, there where to many lies
That it became the season of drunken lullabies
For the life that led us on
For the choices we made
For the love we leaned upon, to forgive our mistakes

My dear father, I know you`re looking down
Am I making you proud some how?
All me life I was full of rage, can`t you see the mess you made
I know you`re looking down

You had too many demons, to make a life of your own
So you walked in his footprints, when you felt alone
Our life was a fight song, with too many rounds
I hope you found your peace somehow, wherever you are now

My dear father, cause of you I do exist
I am proud I`ve become like this
It`s not a grudge, this is moving on
I know your tears they washed away the blood, the day I was born

Here`s a drunken lullaby about the day that I was born
A cold October morning with me mother`s stomach torn
I was raised by me ma
me dad now and then
A very seldom sober man, always trying to make amends

My dear father, I know you`re looking down
Am I making you proud some how?
All me life I was full of rage
Can`t you see the mess you made
I know you`re looking down
My dear father, cause of you I do exist
I am proud I`ve become like this
It`s not a grudge, this is moving on
I know your tears, they washed away, the blood the day I was born

about

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

Irish folk played as punk rock and mixed like metal? Yes please! Irish Moutarde has been my very favorite Celtic punk band since the first time I heard this album. I’ve recommended them to as many people as I can. Seriously good stuff! bad360punk (Wheat Hands Dragon)
