The Great Big Noise - monty crystal

Ye boys and girls that have a mind. To leave your troubles far behind. Enlist and take a soldiers' pay. Go over the hills and far away! We'll fight in dry Afghanistan, To keep the peace in foreign lands. Learn the real soldiers' way, Go over the hills and far away! Come and join the infantry, Where the real soldiers fight, you'll see. Our comrades we will not betray, Over the hills and far away. It's safe at home; we'd rather stay, Watch our children grow and play. We owe the crown, so now we'll pay, We're over the hills and far away. Over the hills we'll march today, And The Queen has called so we obey. We'll stand our ground and here we'll stay. Over the hills and far away! [Accordion/Flute solo] The politicians sleep at night, While out here we will stand and fight. English, French, we're brothers all, Remember us if here we fall? Over the hills we'll march today, And The Queen has called so we obey. We'll stand our ground and here we'll stay. Over the hills and far away! Over the hills we'll march today, And The Queen has called so we obey. We'll stand our ground and here we'll stay. Over the hills and far away!

When I was younger My daddy told me I would never Never amount to nothing special He'd come at me from every angle He'd say You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me My son was kissing boys in the street? He tried to change me Said I'm embarrassing my country How could I do this to my family? Do I wanna grow up being lonely He'd say We've worked for our money, we put you in school Is this how you repay us, do you think this is cool? My son, stop kissing boys in the street My son, stop kissing boys in the street Now that I'm older My daddy's heart's a little warmer But he still won't hug me like my brother And he still won't kiss me like my mother He'd say You're a part of this family, I made you myself But the way that you act isn't good for your health My son, stop kissing boys in the street My son, stop kissing boys in the street My daddy's dying And he's finally realized I'm not lying We sit in silence but we're smiling Because for once we are not fighting He says There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure My son, keep kissing boys in the street My son, keep kissing boys in the street When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street

Oh the night that Patty Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet; As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole They put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died About two o'clock in the morning after emptying the jug Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Patty's mug We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime Found out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind! That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died Oh the night that Patty Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet; As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died Well every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died!
