《The Sicked Bed Of Cuchulainn》歌词

[00:00:01] The Sicked Bed Of Cuchulainn—The Pogues

[00:00:32] McCormack and Richard Tauber are singing by the bed

[00:00:36] There's a glass of punch below your feet and an angel at your head

[00:00:42] There's devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands

[00:00:48] You need one more drop of poison and you'll dream of foreign lands

[00:00:56] When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in cologne

[00:00:59] And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone

[00:01:03] Frank Ryan brought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid

[00:01:06] And you decked some f**king blackshirt who was cursing all the yids

[00:01:09] At the sick bed of Cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer

[00:01:12] And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair

[00:01:23] And in the Euston tavern you screamed it was your shout

[00:01:26] But they wouldn't give you service so you kicked the windows out

[00:01:29] They took you out into the street and kicked you in the brains

[00:01:33] So you walked back in through a bolted door and did it all again

[00:01:36] At the sick bed of Cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer

[00:01:39] And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair

[00:01:57] You remember that foul evening when you heard the banshees howl

[00:02:03] There was lousy drunken bastards singing billy is in the bowl

[00:02:10] They took you up to midnight mass and left you in the lurch

[00:02:16] So you dropped a button in the plate and spewed up in the church

[00:02:25] Now you'll sing a song of liberty for blacks and paks and jocks

[00:02:28] And they'll take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box

[00:02:32] Then they'll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground

[00:02:35] But you'll stick your head back out and shout "We'll have another round"

[00:02:38] At the graveside of Cuchulainn we'll kneel around and pray

[00:02:41] And god is in his heaven and billy's down by the bay
