Shane MacGowan and the Popes - The Snake With Eyes Of Garnet слова песни
Last night as I lay dreamingMy way across the seaJames Mangan brought me comfortWith laudnum and poitinHe flew me back to DublinIn 1819To a public executionBeing held on Stephen`s GreenThe young man on the platformHeld his head up and he did singThen he whispered hard into my earAs he handed me this ring"If you miss me on the harbourFor the boat, it leaves at threeTake this snake with eyes of garnetMy mother gave to me!This snake cannot be capturedThis snake cannot be tiedThis snake cannot be tortured, orHung or crucifiedIt came down through the agesIt belongs to you and meSo pass it on and pass it on`Till all mankind is freeIf you miss me on the harbourFor the boat, it leaves at threeTake this snake with eyes of garnetMy mother gave to me"He swung, his face went purpleA roar came from the crowdBut Mangan laughed and pushed meAnd we got back on the cloudHe dropped me off in LondonBack in this dying landBut my eyes were filled with wonderAt the ring still in my handIf you miss me on the harbourFor the boat, it leaves at threeTake this snake with eyes of garnetMy mother gave to me!And if you miss me on the harbourFor the boat, it leaves at threeTake this snake with eyes of garnetMy mother gave to me!
