lyrics

If I was born in Dublin
A gangster I would be
I`d run the streets of Finglas
With captains under me

I´d be the dog in charge of it all
Pay the cops a weekly fee
But I guess that wasn´t me path in life
He had other plans for me

If I was born in Dublin
A Poet I would be
I`d roam the streets and smelly old pubs
With thoughts of distant dreams

I´d feel the wind beneath me wings
Be a soul forever free
But I guess that wasn´t me path in life
He had other plans for me

Chorus
So gather along, and I`ll tell yas a tale, about the town I love so well
And how me life just might have been, If you changed a blessing and took away some sin

If I was born in Dublin
A junkie I would be
I´d live each day as it was me last
As long as I fed my needs

I´d hit the streets of misery
Untill me heart would bleed
But I guess that wasn´t me path in life
He had other plans for me

If I was born in Dublin
A Dublin man I´d be
Sound as a pound, Salt of the earth
As me uncles are to me

I´d pass the pub
After me work, With 7 mouths to feed
But I guess that wasn´t me path in life
He had other plans for me

Chorus

If I was born abroad
Near Copenhagen streets
I´d be the man you see today
With Irish family genes

I´d sing you a song
And give ya smile, talk about the life we lead
I´m proud to be the man I am
I guess that was his plans for 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
