Wild Cats of Kilkenny - The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl

Like in a mainstream melody Oh, I wanna take you in If you come around, I come a running Waltz through the fire again The weight of the wind is kicking up Every little string is you Plucked from the vine, ahead of its time Only if you want me to Wild heartbreak and wonder Time rolling like thunder Brace for the explosion Wild, blissfully open Spent the night on a riverside Trying to recall my name Head full of bends all sinking in Something hasn't gone insane The shape of the light comes screamin' in Harsh enough to see it through Something in the air and the water tonight Rising from the best of you Wild heartbreak and wonder Time rolling like thunder Brace for the explosion Wild, blissfully open Wild heartbreak and wonder Time rolling like thunder Brace for the explosion Wild, blissfully open

I am Francisco Vasquez Garcia I am welcome to Almeria We have sin gas and con leche We have fiesta and feria We have the song of the chochona We have brandy and half corona And Leonardo and his accordione And calamari and macaroni Come all you rambling boys of pleasure And ladies of easy leisure We must say adios until we see Almeria once again There is a minstrel, there you see And he stoppeth one in three He whispers in this one's ear "Will you kindly kill a dog for me" Now he has won chochona in the bingo All the town has watched this crazy gringo As he pulls off the doll's head laughing And miraldo throws its body in the sea Come all you rambling boys of pleasure And ladies of easy leisure We must say adios until we see Almeria once again El vienticinco de agosto Abrio sus ojos Jaime Fearnley Pero el bebe cinquante Gin-campari Y se tendio para cerrarlos Y Costello el rey del America Y suntuosa Cait O Riordan Non rompere mes colliones Los gritos fuera de las casas Come all you rambling boys of pleasure And ladies of easy leisure We must say adios until we see Almeria once again
