"An Irish Song" lyrics

Don't let your past get in your way
Wish your mother happy Valentine's Day
She said your sister had a minor crash
We went home and watched Father Ted
Then we went to bed

And some Russians invaded Ukraine
We died and we lived again
Died and we lived again
But we weren't the same
A sickness had been revealed
And the walls of the vomitorium
Were painted nicely green

We were always beautiful
Couldn't see with all the mud
We were always beautiful
Who's to know if you're not looking?

I have a blister on the inside of me mouth
I feel self-conscious that you pointed it out in front of friends
Perhaps I need a double dose of Vitamin D
It's early onset scurvy or perhaps I'm just a wreck
Thoughts please

Lonesome board care but she's lonesome still
The government advised her to upscale
So she became a murderer
Was I foolish to think we would get promotion?
Her body standing stark bollock naked
Looking out over that ocean

We were always beautiful
Couldn't see with all the mud
We were always beautiful
Who's to know if you're not looking?
We were always beautiful
Couldn't see with all that sludge
We were always beautiful
Who's to know if you're not looking?

No one was looking
Until they started looking and they saw

Don't let your past get in your way
Wish your lass a happy Valentine's Day
She said your little sister had a minor crash
It wasn't too bad this crash
We went home and we watched Father Ted
And we went to bed
And we slept quite well

A rambling man
I'm a rambling man
I love all my people
But my rambling [?]
[?] all my people
[?]
