Cold Old Fire

[00:08.17] We always sing, even when were losing
[00:18.56] 'Cos Dublin's drone is hard enough especially when you're down and you're boozing
[00:27.06] We sing the Oul' Triangle and then the Tommy Ryan
[00:31.31] 'Cos all the world's a jail and we can't remember why
[00:37.94] Why we agreed to live and lie in embers of a cold old fire nobody remembers
[00:46.32] They hand the ashes back to me down the button factory, we're cattle at the stall
[00:55.49]
[00:57.77] We look for signs that Dublin's heart's still beating,
[01:07.81] That concrete and glass and peelers and mass, they haven't stopped the people from screaming,
[01:16.25] Being trapped by all the cameras you're inclined to stay at home,
[01:20.18] And forget some songs were written to remind you you weren't born
[01:27.03] Born to live and lie and die in embers of a cold old fire nobody remembers
[01:35.39] They hand the ashes back to me down the button factory, we're cattle at the stall
[01:46.65] We see the cracks under the foundation,
[01:56.66] Smouldering on the faces of the people on the drip of isolation,
[02:04.91] We hear the sounds come streaming across the crackling air,
[02:09.38] The broken words of swine who would tell us that we were
[02:15.97] Born to live and lie and die in embers of a cold old fire nobody remembers
[02:24.19] They hand the ashes back to me down the button factory, were cattle at the stall
[02:31.71] And when did we agree to live and lie and die in embers of a cold old fire nobody remembers?
[02:40.60] They hand the ashes back to me down the button factory, we're cattle at the stall.
