Flogging Molly - The Kilburn High Road

Amazing music by a band I haven't listened to since my teen years. Im starting to get back into them after listening to an old cd of theirs a long lost brother left with me a few months after his 16th birthday years ago.

My best friend in highschool ripped a cassette of this for me before he died. I'd never heard of them before. I still have that tape

Many's the day I took for granted
Breathing the air that sinlenced some
As the North Wind blew
With its head of thunder
Beating its breast with a war drenched song
Bathe awhile, awash in slumber
Cry what's left to sleep
Where you dream of the love you left forever
But pity no more nor grieve


For we're the kings of it all
For the day we were born
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
We were the kings of the Kilburn High


Listen to the sound of dead men dying
March as they flee but exiled bound
Their ship once sailed no longer anchors
For gone is the green
And their hallowed gound


Toast to tears of times past glories
This ageless clock chime stalls
Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten
To fly where no others have soared


For we're the kings of it all
For the day we were born
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
We were the kings of the Kilburn High


Toast to tears of times past glories
This ageless clock chime stalls
Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten
To fly where no others have soared


For we're the kings of it all
For the day we were born
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
We were the kings of the Kilburn High

"Toast to tears of time's past glories" Best line

This is my favorite band. In my opinion, this song is the most Rock inspired.

I've been listening to these guys since I was sixteen. I'm 38 now and want it played at my funeral, I love it, my mom and dad loved it. I had it played at my dad's memorial. He would have laughed his face off!!!
