about

“Look at me right… and look at the Queen.
I was never a fan… until it occurred to me how much me an’ “Ma’am” have in common
Bringing up kiddies you can’t remember the names of.
I know she’s not a single parent, but she might as well be.
Plus… the pair of us stuck to our guns – her literally sometimes.
And flagships… a dying breed… admired and despised equally.
Not for never lifting a finger? No. For setting examples through extremity
And whether you’re a bigwig on her end or a bigwig on mine, you’ve still got all your dickheads in the middle to deal with, snip snip snipping at your benefits.
I mean she can’t not be looking at me and thinking “What’s your secret, Frank?” I got shot of my kids yonks back where as she’s yet to see the back of a single one.
I’ve had to get out of bed on occasions to make ends meet, whereas she… she’d done the whole thing from the chair.
(Oh, a drink for the lady – I’m sure there’s perks)
Look at her lot – Brian May prancing about on her roof.
Now, look at my lot! We know how to throw a proper fuckin’ parrrtttaaayyyy!!”

Frank Gallagher 2013

lyrics

Bad-ass son of an IRA bomber
Now he's wasted now hes a goner
Now he's a junkie

He used to beat ass all over town
Now his only mate's Mr. Brown
Not talking' bout Gordon

And the family is doing worse
You know we gotta break this
Break this shameful curse
Maybe strangeways is the place for me
Now Pady's a Junkie

No more potatoes no more guiness
He wants a rig with some brown shite in it
Shoot it right in the bollox

Jamie's gone psycho since Fergal died
Or Mandy's been getting with some real shitty guys now
Get the knife and the poison

Have you ever seen an Irish bloke so high
You know a dealer shouldn't knick his own supply
Maybe Strange ways is the place for me
Now Pady's a junkie

And the family is doing worse
You know we gotta break this
Break this shameful curse
Maybe strangeways is the place for me
Now Pady's a Junkie
