Black 47 - Mychal Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In New York City I made my home
  • I loved the streets, the very stones
  • Cared for my comrades, cherished my friends
  • Loved all beginnings, had no time for ends
  • A city's streets are full of woe
  • I saw suffering where'er I'd go
  • I did my best to console and heal
  • Treat each human with full dignity
  • I never saw a reason to
  • Hate someone who thinks different than you
  • Each one has their anointed place
  • In the love reflected in their God's face
  • We all have sorrow, our share of trials
  • We all are sinners in each other's eyes
  • Love alone can heal the pain
  • God bestows love in so many ways
  • I love the company of friends
  • The fire and the music sparkling in their eyes
  • But I achieved my heart's desire
  • When I rode beside the ones who fight the fires
  • I have my failings and I have tried
  • To look them squarely in the eye
  • To be there when someone might call
  • For I know cruel well how hard it is to fall
  • As I arise on this September morn
  • The sun is beaming down, the streets are warm
  • God's in His heaven and all is well
  • I will go forth and do His will.
  • Livin' in America: 11 Years On
  • Oh, I took me chance
  • Up in the Bronx
  • Seven years ago to the day
  • Oh, I walked up to him
  • Said, "how're you doin'?"
  • Ever since it's been hell to pay
  • We moved in together
  • Oh, God, that fellah
  • Drove me to distraction and despair
  • But the sex was good
  • Like I knew it would be
  • Livin' in America
  • At first it was great
  • Out drinkin' all night
  • Fireworks back home in the bed
  • Then we got engaged
  • Oh god, what a cage
  • All she talked about was weddin' bells
  • We went home to The Coombe
  • A way too soon
  • The lads didn't know what to make of us
  • With our drinkin' and fightin'
  • And kissin' and cryin'
  • And livin' in America
  • I felt sick to me stomach
  • What the hell is wrong with it
  • Couldn't even look at a beer
  • When I went to the clinic
  • I just couldn't believe it
  • "Congratulations, my dear???"
  • He was decent enough
  • When I told him the truth
  • Said, "you know I always wanted to marry you"
  • But that night in the dark
  • I could tell that his heart
  • Was broken in America
  • I did the best that I could
  • Sweatin' hot tears and blood
  • Buildin' that house up in Pearl River
  • But everything changed
  • With each kid on the way
  • She took all the fun out of livin'
  • No more nights on the town
  • No, it's get your head down
  • It's all for the children and the future,
  • Oh Mammy dear, it's no fun over here
  • Livin' in America
  • Workin' like a madman morning noon and night
  • I need them couple of pints to make me feel alright
  • I never meant to stay late, it just turned out that way
  • I need some craic like all the lads before I'm old and gray
  • Lyin' in the bed, waitin' for your key
  • To turn in the lock, pretendin' I'm asleep
  • Oh, you want me now, despite me frozen tears
  • But there's more to life than makin' love to a drunk reekin' of beer
  • And now we're apart
  • Ah, it's breakin' me heart
  • The young one cries about him every day
  • I get out to the pub
  • A couple of times every month
  • I suppose I'm doin' okay
  • Young lads give me the eye
  • But I think that I'd die
  • If another man touched me that way
  • I'd give the world to talk to him
  • But he's here with his girlfriend
  • Livin' in Amerikay
  • Is that her over there
  • What's she done with her hair
  • Still there's no one holds a candle to her
  • Ah, jeez, she looks good
  • Just like I knew she would
  • "Do you come here often, stranger??
  • Can't we try once again
  • Can you get past the pain
  • Would it matter if I told you I adore you
  • Oh, darlin' me dear,
  • I still need you here
  • Livin' in America
  • Can I get you your coat
  • We can work it all out,
  • Livin' in America
  • Oh Mammy dear we're all mad over here
  • Livin' in America
  • Him: Listen, don't make a show of me, will you, the lads are all watchin'
  • Her: To hell with the lads, are you ever goin' to grow up? There's a couple of things you and I are goin' to have to sort out..
  • Him: Oh yeah? Like what?
  • Her: Give me a couple of weeks and I'll make up a list for you.
  • Him: I'm not givin' up me pint again, I tell you that right now.
  • Her: You and your pint!
  • Him: Jaysus, you're an awful woman, aren't you?
  • Her: It's you made me that way.
  • Him: Ah will you be quiet and give us an auld kiss
  • Her: A kiss is it? The head on you and the price of turnipsI should have listened to me Mammy
