Les Darcy

(专辑： Sleepin' Rough - 2016)

Oh tell me Father what's the craic
Is Jesus really coming back
And if he does d'ye think he'll live here in the 'burbs?
Cos I'd like to help out round the place
A few odd jobs for holy grace
And I'll even let you preach your strange old words
For I've been a godless fool
They smashed it outta me at school
And I swore I'd never take a knee again
But if you can guarantee me there's
A heaven up and a hell down there
My wicked sinful ways I'll seek to mend

But if all them stars above are saints in some accord
And Les Darcy is among 'em, then I'll make peace with the Lord

I were spat on, I were beat
And I were tossed into the street
Where I lay cackling in the filthy bloody rain
I went from bar to bar
Calling dogs just what they were
Until the next one tried to slap me round the brains
A bottle of cheap whisky was the key
Unlocking beasts inside o' me
That oughtn't see the the light of day
I'd shower on all fours
Go punch holes in all the doors
And drag my heart around like it were dying prey

But if all them stars above are saints in some accord
And Les Darcy is among 'em, then I'll make peace with the Lord

Well I've heard him called so many things
'Hey-Sue Christy' 'King of Kings'
Is it Mister Father, Son or Holy Ghost?
He could turn the water into wine
And we can have a laugh about the time
He popped up on that old dears slice o' toast
I've been around and seen some things
Slept with witches, fought for Kings
And I've sung a song o' joy in many lands
But if my dog can't get to Heaven
While some mongrels go on living
I'm not sure he's got the whole world in his hands

But if all them stars above are saints in some accord
And Les Darcy is among 'em, then I'll make peace with the Lord

And if all them stars above are saints in some accord
And Les Darcy is among 'em, then I'll make peace with the Lord
If [?] is among 'em, then I'll make peace with the Lord
If [?] is among 'em, then I'll make peace with the Lord
If my granddad Bill is among 'em, then I'll make peace with your Lord
