Willie O Dea Lyrics

[00:00.18] Now here's a little story all about how
[00:02.83] My life got flipped, turned upside down
[00:05.56] It was a Saturday,
[00:06.40] And I was walking 'round town,
[00:08.27] The sky was black and blue as the rain fell down,
[00:09.18] I was bored, there was nothing to do,
[00:12.71] Nay a byore to gape at,
[00:14.67] Not a bag of glue, So I sat down,
[00:16.40] Picked up a couple of screws,
[00:19.15] And I flicked 'em at a car and looked at my shoes,
[00:20.94] They were dirty, I'd say at about 2: 30,
[00:23.65] On my watch, and there's lots of spots on my crotch,
[00:26.37] So, I look across the road and what do I see,
[00:29.17] It's Willie O'Dea, he's walking over to me,
[00:32.75] Man, Willie O'Dea, what can you do for me?
[00:34.57] Are you going to give me hash? Are you the Minister for gee?
[00:37.27] Ah, man, I think he's going to talk to me,
[00:39.98] Well, I am pure bored, I think I'll listen and see,
[00:42.63] My name, is Willie O'Dea,
[00:47.23] And you're in my constituency,
[00:49.08] (You're in my constituency)
[00:51.76] Ah, Mr. O'Dea, man you are embarrassing me,
[00:56.22] 'Cause you're singing at me in the street and I'm trying to kick it like a gee,
[00:58.97] Fuck off,
[01:00.72] Just fuck off and let me be,
[01:01.66] 'Cause I've never even voted for no one or nothing y'see,
[01:02.50] I know your father,
[01:05.37] My father's dead,
[01:06.23] I know your father,
[01:08.06] (Oooh),
[01:08.96] And I can change your life,
[01:13.41] How?
[01:14.40] I need your vote,
[01:16.13] No, tell me how—
[01:17.03] Give me your vote,
[01:18.87] Fuck off,
[01:19.72] And I can change your life,
[01:24.33] Willie, how're you going to change my life?
[01:27.94] The fuck you know about my troubles and my struggles and strife,
[01:29.73] I couldn't give a shit if you're the Body of Christ,
[01:33.39] Man, I want to go home,
[01:35.19] My socks are soggy and moist,
[01:36.09] Hold on a minute, I can get you new socks,
[01:38.76] Give me the money and I'll get you new jocks,
[01:41.56] Poor old Willie, Willie O'Me,
[01:44.23] If they put me in a dock then I'll never be free,
[01:46.94] (Oooh),
[01:47.84] What do you mean, Willie, what've you done?
[01:49.62] (Ooooh),
[01:51.47] [Blind Boy
[01:52.18] Are you in trouble?
[01:53.90] Tell me Willie, what's wrong?
[01:55.74] My name is Willie O'Dea,
[02:01.10] They're hanging me for perjury,
[02:06.87] Willie, man, what can I do?
[02:10.46] That's a terrible fate that's been handed to you,
[02:13.18] Is there any hope? Should I consult the Pope?
[02:15.98] Maybe he can keep you from the hangman's rope,
[02:18.63] Then I haven't got a job, I haven't got a bob,
[02:21.30] I'm merely drawing the dole and pulling my knob,
[02:24.03] Only you can set me free,
[02:26.70] So buy this lump of hash off me,
[02:29.52] What, Willie, you're selling hash?
[02:32.23] Yah,
[02:35.25] It's decent hash, It's decent hash, I swear on my 'tashe
[02:39.74] it's decent hash, it's decent hash, it's decent hash,
[02:42.41] I swear on my 'tashe it's decent hash,
[02:45.16] {Guitar instrumental}
[03:13.58] Mr. O'Dea, I'd love some hash,
[03:14.46] But I'm flat broke too, I got no cash,
[03:17.19] I got super-glue and a bollock rash,
[03:19.87] And don't be flaunting your fancy knacker 'tashe,
[03:22.65] Get out of my face with your snake-y eyes,
[03:25.38] Your pants is in flames with all of your lies,
[03:28.04] You're wasting your time, selling smelly sock,
[03:30.72] To a man who can't afford to take a piss in a pot,
[03:33.42] I'll give you free hash if you do me a favour,
[03:37.98] What, really, yah?
[03:38.87] Yah,
[03:39.74] Alright so, go on, what d'you want me to do?
[03:40.66] Go up to Dublin and throw eggs at the Dáil,
[03:43.45] It's all their fault, because the recession's over,
[03:46.14] Wait, wait, so alright, so if I go up to Dublin and throw eggs at Dáil Éireann, you'll give me free hash?
[03:52.40] I promise,
[03:53.36] Really? Alright so,
[03:54.21] Yah,
[03:55.17] It's like this:
[03:56.03] Stall the ball, Pope John Paul, Let's all go and egg the Dáil,
[04:38.28]
