The Dropkick Murphys

[axlslash]

I'm really diggin' these boys right now. A beautiful combo of Irish folk and punk. Here are some of my favorite lyrics of theirs:

Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced

I play in a band

We're the best in the land

We're big in both Chelsea and France

I play one mean guitar and then score at the bar

There's a line of chicks waiting for their chance

So come on now honey, I'll make you feel pretty

These other gals mean nothing to me

Let's finish these drinks and be gone for the night

'Cause I'm more than a handfull you'll see

So kiss me I'm shitfaced

I'm Soaked I'm soiled and brown

in the trousers she kissed me

And I only bought her one round

I can bench press a car

I'm an ex football star

with degrees from both harvard and yale

Girls just can't keep up

I'm a really love machine

I've had far better sex while in jail

I designed the Sears tower

I make two grand an hour

I cook the world's best duck flambe

I'll take the pick of the LITTER

And girls jockey for me

I don't need these lines to get laid

I'm the man of the night

A real ladies delight

See, my figure was chisEled from stone

One more for the gal then I'll escort her home

Come last call, I'm never alone

I own a house on the hill with a red water bed

It puts Hugh Hefner's mansion to shame

With girls by the pool and italian sports cars

I'm just here in this dump for the gig

Ahh, fuck it. Who am I shittin'?

I'm a pitiful SIGHT

And I ain't all that bright

I'm definitly not chisEled from stone

I'm a cheat and a liar

No womAn's desire

I'll probably die cold and alone

But just give me a chance

Cause deep down inside

I swear I got a big heart of gold

I'm a monogamous man

No more one night stands

Come on, Honey let me take you home

Warrior's Code

You're the fighter you've got the fire

The spirit of a warrior, the champion's heart

You fight for your life because the fighter never quits

You make the most of the hand you're dealt

Because the quitter never wins

No!

You were born to box in a city that's seen their share

Mello, Ryan, Carney, among them your photo proudly hangs there

Above the bar in the Gaelic Club

They tell the story of a throwback

With the heart of a lion

They salute your glory

It's another murderous right

Another left hook from hell

A bloody war on the boardwalk

And the kid from Lowell rises to the bell

A Few Good Men

It's time we stood up for ourselves so get up off your knees.

We'll shake off our detractors and attain our hopes and dreams

and if we fall prey to in-fighting, we're never gonna win,

so put aside your differences, sing loud, sing proud

We won't listen to their stories or be waylaid by their lies

it's a dram that's still attainable for kids like you and I

So if we all stand together singing one defiant song

our voice will reach the heavens, so sing with all your heart

Join us in a song

we shall rise and sing stand up and be counted

sing a song for liberty join us in this song

together we shall sing rise up and be counted

sing it loud, sing it proud

We've been brutalized and crucified, the brunt of their attacks,

is corruption not their trademark and compassion what they lack?

If we can realize our common goals,

the end of which is plain united and now stronger,

their loss is now our gain!

liked these guys for years, glad other people are digging them, shippin up to boston rocks.

That's amazing! Did they do Shipping Up to Boston or William McBride/Green Fields of France/No Man's Land? Those are two of my favorites of theirs (even though they didn't write em).

I can only imagine how amazing it must be to be in a packed club all pumping fists and yelling "Will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man"...

[DopeSickGirl]

Wonderful band! I made a thread about 'em like a month ago

I LOVE DKM!!!

Do Or Die and The Blackout are my favourite albums and they're truely amazing live. See 'em if you ever get the chance Their cover of The Fields of Athenrye is wholly amazing!

You should check out Flogging Molly if you like DKM. Similar band.

I only like their "Fields of Athenrye" version, everything else I checked out wasn't something special imo.

Especially "The Devil's Dancefloor" is a great song. Both bands are also an amazing live experience.

Not sure, but it was pretty crazy. It was outdoors in a closed off area.

I second that.

Dirty Glass is my personal favorite at the moment. "It's all in the past, bitch, 'cause now I got it beat!"

Blackout and Sing Loud are my two favorite albums, but Do or Die is certainly up there. I'm also really into Warrior's Code. The live record is also quite fantastic.

[Zint]

Have any of you guys heard their version of AC/DC's It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock n Roll)?

If not,do yourselves a favour and seek it out...it's bloody awesome!

[axlslash]

I'll have to find that. I could see that being AMAZING.

[Zint]

Anyone who wants to hear it...PM me.

I may or may not know how you can hear it via a Sendspace download.
