lyrics
Did you hear them play the tunes, take them round the Parish
Pluck it, strike it, hammer it down, make it awful savage
Keep the music from the page, no paper production
Strings made from fusewire, anything for a plectrum
Rip the music from the wall, Sing into the silence
All you need is a place to play, To the devil with your licence
When they pulled the reel apart, wove it back together
Driving rhythms once again like they’d gone on forever
Then the drummer beat the goat, beat it with a passion
Weaving rhythms round the tunes like they’d gone out of fashion
Rip the music from the wall, Sing into the silence
All you need is a place to play, To the devil with your licence
To the mix add stormin’ tunes, beer and smoke and whiskey
Fiddle and bohdron nail it down, jigs and reels a plenty
Play the blarney pilgrim land, drink in double measure
Merrily kiss the quaker with Killarney boys of pleasure
Rip the music from the wall, Sing into the silence
All you need is a place to play, To the devil with your licence
