《Smoke & Strong Whiskey (Live)》歌词

[00:04:31] Smoke & Strong Whiskey(Live) - Christy Moore

[00:04:31] Kids wear white garters, and smell like their mothers

[00:04:31] Whose husbands and fathers alike

[00:04:31] Drink black beer in the same public houses

[00:04:31] Smelling of smoke and strong whiskey.

[00:04:31] Mammies and daddies, skipping ropes

[00:04:31] Lectures from priests, living in hope

[00:04:31] That they've not mistaken the brand of their coats

[00:04:31] They've paid for by spiritual teachings.

[00:04:31] A busy year this, streets running red

[00:04:31] How many sent to their nuptial bed

[00:04:31] How many sent home to a winter of graves

[00:04:31] How many wait in for the slaughter.

[00:04:31] It's Easter again, and we cannot forget

[00:04:31] Our brothers and sisters and all that was said

[00:04:31] So practise your pipes, stand proud in the wet.

[00:04:31] For the eyes of the world are upon you.

[00:04:31] CHORUS

[00:04:31] Oh, oh, the holy ground

[00:04:31] C茅ad mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see

[00:04:31] Oh, oh, the holy ground

[00:04:31] Faraway hills ain't as green as they once used to be

[00:04:31] Seveteen years, Kelly is a man

[00:04:31] Who stands on the street with a gun in his hand

[00:04:31] He's protecting the pipers that play in the band

[00:04:31] While the enemy waits with an army.

[00:04:31] God in his mercy has given us men

[00:04:31] To lead us to peace but they can't bring an end

[00:04:31] To the profits that pay off the lease on the land

[00:04:31] We're still sending them over the water

[00:04:31] Dia le h脡ireann, suckle the empire.

[00:04:31] Dia le h脡ireann, suffer the loss.

[00:04:31] Of the green and the blue while the media feeds

[00:04:31] On the blood and the pain and the hatred.

[00:04:31] Father walks home on a colourless night

[00:04:31] The organisation has blinded his sight

[00:04:31] His wife and his kids are sleeping tonight

[00:04:31] In the arms of sweet Jesus and Mary.

[00:04:31] CHORUS X 2
