lyrics

With Celtic tattoos on my arms
And all those endearing young charms
I jumped on a ferry from Anglesey
In order to obtain an identity

My Mother was born South of Hull
My Father I don’t know at all
I’ve had no persona since I was a child
So now here I am quoting Joyce, Yeats and Wilde

My place of birth is a lie, and the twinkle in my eye
Well you know that it’s just an illusion
The way that I speak isn’t real, and the things I say and feel
Well it’s all just a Gaelic Delusion

So I travel the length of this land
For reasons I don’t understand
My soul and this country I’ve tried to conjoin
I’ve pissed in the Liffey and shat in the Boyne

And my place of birth is a lie, and the twinkle in my eye
Don’t you know that it’s just an illusion
The way that I speak is unreal, and my suit of emerald green
Well it’s all just a Gaelic Delusion
