David Keenan - Bless The Mad Ones (Live At The Olympia Theatre) lyrics
[David Keenan - Bless The Mad Ones Live At The Olympia Theatre lyrics]
This song is for all the mad people in
The audience for it's only the mad ones
That interest me people that are mad to
Live, mad to love, mad to know
Mad to grow bless the mad ones!
Have you ever heard of anyone
Who took the soup?
I'm standing over a pot of mesmeric stew
My reflection reflecting
Well he claps with one hand
I return in kind with
A constellation of smiles
I see a girl approaching
She wears a high vis vest
She takes the Star of David and
She holds it to her breast
I think you are mistaken
No I'm not the one you seek
But I've been living in his body now
For the best part of a week
Bless all the mad ones i am a mad man
Mad to live mad to love
Mad to know mad to grow
Madness is passion and passion bears fruit
Eat all the apples and swallow the pips
Listen, have you read the bylaws?
Well I've kicked the goodbye laws
Off the back of a stranger's hand in the
Phoenix park after dark
Weeping ash falls from eyelids
Bathe in the flame redeem your family's name
Well the reprimanded liar takes the
Star down from the plough
Throws his hands around the
Pint glass and drinks
To the health of the fattened cow
And then the hyperactive hard man sends
These words out laced with venom
But we all laugh in his direction
Because he's wearing double denim
Bless all the mad ones i am a mad man
Mad to live mad to love
Mad to know mad to grow
Madness is passion and passion bears fruit
Eat all the apples and swallow the pips
Take me to the place where all the
Great songs go to die so
I may learn the righteous rattlings off
By heart and call them mine
Listening to the whisperings of the
Ghosts in the machine
I'll transcribe the holy word from the
Fertile mind of the barren queen
Take me to the place where all the
Great songs go to die so
I may learn the righteous rattlings off
By heart and call them mine
Listening to the whisperings of the
Ghosts in the machine
I'll transcribe the holy word from the
Fertile mind of the barren queen
Take me to the place where all the
Great songs go to die so
I may learn the righteous rattlings off
By heart and call them mine
Listening to the whisperings of the
Ghosts in the machine
I'll transcribe the holy word
From the fertile mind of the barren queen
Sí do mhaimeo í, 'sí do mhaimeo í
Sí do mhaimeo í, cailleach an airgid
Sí do mhaimeo í, ó Bhail' Iorrais Mhóir í

Bless them all
Bless them all, the long and the short
The tall bless them all
Bless them all now
Bless all the mad ones i am a mad man
Mad to live mad to love
Mad to grow mad to know
Madness is passion and passion bears fruit
Eat all the apples and swallow the pips
Thank you!
The audience for it's only the mad ones
That interest me people that are mad to
Live, mad to love, mad to know
Mad to grow bless the mad ones!
