Lachend kommt der Sommer
sung by Andrew Ranken

Hello, now I must go to the nature

Lachend, lachend, lachend, lachend
Kommt der Sommer über das Feld,
Über das Feld kommt der Sommer, ha ha ha!
Lachend über das Feld!


The Bold Fenian Men
sung by Spider Stacy (impersonating Laurence Olivier)

Ha ha ha ha

'Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman
A-plucking fresh nettles, she ne'er saw me coming
I listened a while to the song she was humming
Glory-o, glory-o, to the bold fenian men


Lipstick Vogue
sung by Shane MacGowan (impersonating Elvis Costello)

It's you
Just, not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue
Hey, not just another mouth
Hey, not just a lipstick vogue
Hey, not just another mouth
Hey, not just a lipstick vogue
Hey, not just another mouth
Hey, not just a lipstick vogue


Boys From The County Hell
sung by Elvis Costello (impersonating Bob Dylan)

On the first day of March it was raining
It was raining worse than anything that I had ever seen
I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there
And I wished that all this rain would stop falling down on me
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning


Falling In Love Again
sung by Philip Chevron (impersonating Marlene Dietrich)

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
I can't help it
Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
I can't help it


From A Jack To A King
sung by Jem Finer

This here's a song I learned off my dad

From a Jack to a King
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen
I walked away with your heart
(Your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart)

For just a little while
I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time
I saw the twinkle in your eye
(Twinkle in your eye)

From a Jack to a King
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen
I walked away with your heart


We Are The Pogue Mahones
sung by all

We are the Pogue Mahones
Fuck the Clash and the Rolling Stones
We are the Pogue Mahones
Fuck the Clash and the Rolling Stones
We are the Pogue Mahones
Fuck the Clash and the Rolling Stones
We are the Pogue Mahones
Fuck the Clash and the Rolling Stones
We are the Pogue Mahones
Fuck the Clash and the Rolling Stones
We are the Pogue Mahones
Fuck the Clash and the Rolling Stones
Flush the Clack and the Rolling
