Flogging Molly - The Likes of You Again (live) lyrics

Here's to you, I sing for my daddy-o As I lay him down to sleep It's been so long since I lost my daddy-o Hope he's watching over me Wednesday night is morning now, I'm walking in the rain The birds are screaming in my ear and driving me insane Half the clouds are empty so the sun burst through the sky The puddles show reflection of a face about to die Just around the corner, I was going 'round the bend I ran into a staggering fool who said he knew my name He poured himself a whiskey and his face began to glow Two men without an answer like a dog without a bone Bringing in the new year as the bells began to ring Fats is in the corner, just about to sing Time to get another before the final shout You should have heard them roaring when they dragged the bugger out And we'll never see the likes of you again Jimbo came from slumming town, a cold and dreary place To summer land he found himself with such an honest face Met a girl called Minnie Pearl, swore she'd always be his girl Happy ever after until the tide ran out again Pour me all your sorrows and I'll drink until you're dry I'll love you in the morning, Christ, I'll love you until you die I'll never leave, so never grieve, I'll be back before you know But Jimbo fell into a well and never rambled home Carried all his troubles in an unforgiving bag Back and forth through painted brick, the colors all seemed bland I've traveled all these years, he said, to only get this far So he crossed the street, found a seat, his home is now a bar And we'll never see the likes of you again No, we'll never see the likes of you again There must be more to life than this poxie life All the aggro, all the pain So he disappeared into his final beer But the gla** was empty once again, again, again Woke up in an awful state, I dreamt I was at Peter's gate Begging for his mercy and the crimes that were at hand He told me he was much amused to see the life I had abused Best be on your way but have a swig before you go So I'm ringing in the new year, the bells began to ring Fats is in the corner, just about to sing Time to get another before the final shout You should have heard them roaring when they dragged the bugger out And we'll never see the likes of you again No, we'll never see the likes of you again No, we'll never see the likes of you again
