Boys From The County Hell (The John Peel Show) [as Pogue Mahone] [April 1984] |
On the first day of March it was raining |
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen |
I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there |
I wish that all this rain would stop falling down on me |
And it’s lend me ten pounds, I’ll buy you a drink |
And mother wake me early in the morning |
At the time I was working for a landlord |
And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen |
And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore |
And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch’s bastard’s whore |
And it’s lend me ten pounds, I’ll buy you a drink |
And mother wake me early in the morning |
I recall that we took care of him one Sunday |
We got him out the back and we broke his fucking balls |
And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real |
But all I know is I left the place without a penny or fuckall |
And it’s lend me ten pounds, I’ll buy you a drink |
And mother wake me early in the morning |
But now I’ve the most charming of verandahs |
I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks, the pimps, the whores |
Five green bottles sitting on the floor |
I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ |
That I had fifteen more |
And it’s lend me ten pounds, I’ll buy you a drink |
And mother wake me early in the morning |
And it’s lend me ten pounds, I’ll buy you a drink |
And mother wake me early in the morning |
The boys and me are drunk and looking for you |
We’ll eat your frigging entrails and we won’t give a damn |
Me daddy was a blue shirt and my mother a madam |
And my brother earned his medals at My Lai in Vietnam |
And it’s lend me ten pounds and I’ll buy you a drink |
And mother wake me early in the morning |
On the first day of March it was raining |
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen |
Stay on the other side of the road |
'Cause you can never tell |
We’ve a thirst like a gang of devils |
We’re the boys from the county hell |
And it’s lend me ten pounds and I’ll buy you a drink |
And mother wake me early in the morning |
And it’s lend me ten pounds and I’ll buy you a drink |
And mother wake me early in the morning |
