The Likes Of You Again Lyrics

Artist: Flogging Molly
Album: Swagger

Hereâ‚¬â„¢s to you, I sing for my daddy-o
As I lay him down to sleep
Itâ‚¬â„¢s been so long, since I lost my daddy-o
Hope heâ‚¬â„¢s watchinâ‚¬â„¢ over me

Wednesday night is morninâ‚¬â„¢ now
As Iâ‚¬â„¢m walkinâ‚¬â„¢ in the rain
The birds are screaming in my ear
Drivinâ‚¬â„¢ 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 goinâ‚¬â„¢ round the bend
I ran into a staggerinâ‚¬â„¢ 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

Bringinâ‚¬â„¢ in the new year
As the bells began to ring
Fats is in the corner, sheâ‚¬â„¢s just about to sing
Time to get another, before the final shout
You should have heard them roarinâ‚¬â„¢
When they dragged the bugger out
And weâ‚¬â„¢ll never see the likes of you again

Jimbo came from slumminâ‚¬â„¢ town
A cold and dreary place
To summerland he found himself
The sun shun on his face
Met a girl called Minnie Pearl
Swore sheâ‚¬â„¢d always be his girl
Happy ever after, till the tide ran out again
Pour me all your sorrows
And Iâ‚¬â„¢ll drink till you are dry
Iâ‚¬â„¢ll love you in the morninâ‚¬â„¢
Christ, Iâ‚¬â„¢ll love ya till you die
Iâ‚¬â„¢ll never leave so never grieve
Iâ‚¬â„¢ll be back before ya know
But Jimbo fell into a well
And never rambled home

Carried all his troubles in an unforgivinâ‚¬â„¢ bag
Back and forth through painted brick

The colours all seemed bland
Iâ‚¬â„¢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 weâ‚¬â„¢ll never see the likes of you again

There must be more to life, than this poxie life
All the agro, all the pain
So he disappeared into his final beer
But the glass was empty, once again, again, again

Woke up in an awful state
Dreamt I was at Peterâ‚¬â„¢s Gate
Begginâ‚¬â„¢ for his mercy
And the crimes that were at hand

He told me he was much amused
To see this life I had abused
Best be on your way, but have a swig before you go
So Iâ‚¬â„¢m bringing in the New Year
As the bells began to ring
Fatâ‚¬â„¢s in the corner, sheâ‚¬â„¢s just about to sing
Time to get another, before the final shout
You should have heard them roarinâ‚¬â„¢
When they dragged the bugger out

And weâ‚¬â„¢ll never see the likes of you again
