lyrics

Luke Kelly's Bar

last night in woodside
among family and grateful
good times shown
nine days of upturned shot glasses
they fuelled the stag nights
the island was a crazed neon host,
there's a juke box on
playing songs about missing a land we all gladly left
and there tomorrow morning we will all return
not this lucid pleasant southwestern man,
he shared his thoughts on the tiger time
that cost us all,
he cursed the crooked gael and fail
they ruined all I loved
now luke kelly's is my bar in queens and queens is my home.
he had the honey the big apartment
then the work stopped he had to go
he pledged allegiance to nothing but money here
his cork city he'll see no more
it's like I woke up in an old clancy song he said
I walk the city streets alone
and I'll call by luke kelly's to hear a civil hello
luke kelly's is my bar in queens and queens is my home.
