"One Last Goodbye (Tribute To Shane)" lyrics

[Dropkick Murphys:]
See, my past wasn't cool and my present wasn't fun
It was time to come of age, yeah, but I was on the run
You brought my worlds together, shaped my future with your sound
Gave meaning to the mayhem when I was beaten to the ground
A poet for the ages, you told me no lies
Life is a gamble and your words are the prize
I leaned on your stories when life took its toll
"Piss off, you wanker," you signed on my soul

And we won't meet a man like you no more
Now you lay there finally lifeless
So be easy and free and have one for me
With Behan, Drew, and Kelly
And we won't meet a man like you no more
But the sendoff sure was priceless
In a million empty bottles, we cried
Down goes the hero, one last goodbye

Smoke filled the air, camaraderie prevailed
Sometimes we'd wait for hours, but you never failed
Booze soaked the floor, we pogoed up and down
You lifted us up when we couldn't go another round

And we won't meet a man like you no more
Now you lay there finally lifeless
So be easy and free and have one for me
With Joe, Sinèad, and Kirsty
And we won't meet a man like you no more
But the sendoff sure was priceless
In a million empty bottles, we cried
Down goes the hero, one last goodbye

[The Scratch:]
'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear
'Sé mo Shéasar, gile mear
Suan gan séan ní bhfuair mé féin
Ó chuaigh I gcéin mo ghile mear
'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear
'Sé mo Shéasar, gile mear
Suan gan séan ní bhfuair mé féin
Ó chuaigh I gcéin mo ghile mear

[Dropkick Murphys:]
And we won't meet a man like you no more
As you lay there finally lifeless
So be easy and free and have one for me
With Behan, Drew, and Kelly
And we won't meet a man like you no more
But the sendoff sure was priceless
In a million empty bottles, we cried
Down goes the hero, one last goodbye
