Текст (слова) песни: Flogging Molly - Life In A Tenement Square
Well I kissed the day, I was on my way From those cold gray blocks of stone For seventeen years of squalor filled tears A time now with innocence lost As the sun split the room With its rays filled with gloom Turnin` all hope to despair And the only thing left Was to flee from the nest That was Life In A Tenement Square:
I remember the song where the rats sang along And danced for their daily bread While the damp washed the walls That were twenty feet tall Not a child in the house was fed On the porter filled face Of the men left a trace Of the coin they had already spent While our mothers asked God What was Hell ever for When you lived in a Tenement Square
Grab what`s left of the coal From the ol` cubbyhole These cinders need more to be a fire While the ghosts of the soldiers That lived there before us Laugh with their guns by their side I hear them laugh, with their guns by their side
Now politicians they dwell In that forgotten Hell Our misery`s been turned into mews Where the fat of the land Now hog, hand-in-hand A crime now of life was ever true As the sun split the room With its rays filled with gloom Turnin` all hope to despair And the only thing left Was to flee from the nest That was Life In A Tenement Square...
