Flogging Molly - The Ol' Beggar's Bush lyrics
[Flogging Molly - The Ol' Beggar's Bush lyrics]
Stuck on limbo bridge where below
Me ol' Nick grins
Then laughs through the chaos of it all
Gets up off his chair
Spins a jig to my despair
He can't wait to count the
Times where I went wrong
Underneath the bush, lay a beggar out of luck
On his lips was a taste he forgets
His hopes were filled with sand that
He watched fall through his hand
Every grain was a lifetime of regret
So go and bow your head and weep
For your world won't change while you sleep
Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone
Fertile Mrs moore had thirteen kids
But still looked good
Till her ol' man jumped leave on a ship
She never read a book but by Christ
She understood
That the meaning of life starts in bed
So go and bow your head and weep
For your world won't change while you sleep
Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone
Killer Kilbain kicked me senseless everyday
I hope that bastard is beneath
A head of stone
Where I'd dance upon his grave for
All the madness I now crave
While the scars that remain are still a curse
So I'm stuck on a limbo bridge
Where below me ol' Nick grins
Then laughs through the chaos of it all
Gets up off his chair
Spins a jig to my despair
He can't wait to count the
Times where I went wrong
Yeah, he can't wait to count the
Times where I went wrong
So go and bow your head and weep
For your world won't change while you sleep
Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone
Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone
The summer that was lost, now is gone
Me ol' Nick grins
Then laughs through the chaos of it all
Gets up off his chair
Spins a jig to my despair
He can't wait to count the
Times where I went wrong
Underneath the bush, lay a beggar out of luck
On his lips was a taste he forgets
His hopes were filled with sand that
He watched fall through his hand
Every grain was a lifetime of regret
So go and bow your head and weep
For your world won't change while you sleep
Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone
Fertile Mrs moore had thirteen kids
But still looked good
Till her ol' man jumped leave on a ship
She never read a book but by Christ
She understood
That the meaning of life starts in bed
So go and bow your head and weep
For your world won't change while you sleep
Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone

For the summer that was lost, now is gone
Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone
Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone
The summer that was lost, now is gone
