Caps And Bottles
(album: Sing Loud, Sing Proud!)
When I was 13 I bought a scally cap
Looked up to the older guys who drank at the Rat
Couldn´t wait to grow up just to drink with the crew
Put my name on the map and have a social few.
I recall when I was small I thought I´d be a legend soon
But that was then and this is now
A harder road could not be found
Don´t get me wrong good times were had
Sometimes the fun outweighed the bad
But all in all now said and done
I can recall more bad than fun.
It´s killing me - the answers here, it´s plain to see
It´s killing me - I´m half the man I thought I´d be
It´s killing me - It´s taken years but now I see
It´s taken years but now I see
I´m not the man I´d thought I´d be.
I´d fight them all big or small,
Angel dust and bud tall
Collars up and fists the same
Protect your friends and family name
Had my lumps, received a few
But not near what I deserved
Some say this life´s my punishment
Some say this life´s my justice served.
Barracudas-scally caps, Barrell fires-sings alongs
Down the park where I belong,
Bar room brawls and Irish songs.
