lyrics

As the moon rose over the city,
I found meself leaving home
I went out to meet a friend who wouldn`t drink alone
Another broken heart had to drown
Now it was time to repay for all of the times he`d been around
So me friend and I we met at the rover and he got all the things off his chest
He felt the weight of the world leave his shoulders
And we agreed it was all for the best
Now it was time to repay for all of the times I`d been a mess

Chorus
Singing ‘turra ley’
What a wonderful day
Time to drink all our sorrows away

Stranger than friction the night took a twist
4 long legged lassies appeared from the mist
They`d comfort our hearts and refill our souls
so we legged it from the pub as we went for stroll
now it was time to repay for all of the times we`d lost control
we ended up in the alley on the pitch blackest night
oh me Jesus we were in for a fright
I felt something hard rub up towards me leg and I yelled out
No that can`t be right
Now it was time to head for the hills
And regain our sight

Chorus

Let me tell you lads that night we learned our lesson
Not to take any women for granted
For frights good fun and a blessing
Always question the apple you`re handed
Now it is time to cheer with drunken leers
let`s all feel wanted

Chorus

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)
