We tend to think of Rap as a thoroughly modern genre of music. But you cannot convince me that this song, written in the middle of the 1800s, for a music hall performer, isn't close, if not identical to it.

Lyrics:

Rocky Road to Dublin

In the merry month of June from my home I started Left the girls of Tuam so sad and broken hearted Saluted Father dear, kissed me darling mother Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins; Bought a new pair of brogues, rattlin' o'er the bogs Frightenin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five

{Chorus} Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, whack fol lol de rah!

In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary Started by daylight my spirits bright and cheery Took a drop of the pure to keep me heart from sinking; That's the Paddy's cure whenever he's on for drinking To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin' Asked if I was hired, wages I required 'Til I was almost tired on the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five

{Chorus}

In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city Then I took a stroll, down among the quality Bundle it was stole, there in a neat locality Something crossed my mind, then I looked behind No bundle could I find upon my stick a wobblin' Enquiring for the rogue, said my Connaught brogue Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five

{Chorus}

From there I got away, me spirits never failing Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing Captain at me roared, said that no room had he Then I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy Was down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling; Off Holyhead wished meself was dead Or better far instead, on the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five

{Chorus}

The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it Blood began to boil, temper I was losing Poor old Erin's isle they began abusing "Hurrah me soul!" says I, shillelagh I let fly Some Galway boys were by and saw I was a-hobblin' With a loud "Hurray!" joined in the affray We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five

{Chorus 2x}

DEVASTATING the lyric you've been mishearing is better than the real one

#i've been listening to icarus by bastille #and for some reason my brain fills in 'this is how it feels to take a fall' as 'this is how it feels to take off all your skin'#and like fuck man #and I KNOW that’s technically not a misheard lyric but my post my rules cope #anyway my line now #also probably phrased this poorly but its ok #im allowed to be incomprehensible #as a treat #and then fuckin #from we sink by of monsters and men #the original line was 'please look away dont look at me'#and i kept hearing it as 'please learn a way to look at me'#anyway #shoving this post in the queue but please be aware that i am writing it very late at night #q

as is tradition, i've updated my: "hozier using terms of endearment on his songs" list.

"baby" remains number one with 9 new additions. he uses "baby" a total of 74 times throughout his entire (released) discography

"darling" was his favourite term this time around with 17 new additions. it went from only 9 to 26 times he used the term in his songs

"love" got 11 new additions. 17 in total

and last but not least he used "honey" one time. so that's 46 times he says "honey" now

#i have a post somewhere from the first time i posted this but i can't find it anymore sadly #but if you anyone wants the full thing let me know it's currently 4 full pages of lyrics 😭#the fact these aren't even the most fucked up ones he's SICK #hozier

In honor of the striking workers of the summer of 2023

The third Community Project Song organized by The Longest Johns, with 833 participants, many of whom also submitted video of the actual work they do each day.

youtube

Eye Contact. So much Eye Contact.

Lyrics (Source, and more info, here)

Oh come on all you workers, who toil night and day By hand and by brain, to earn your pay Who for centuries all past, for no more than your bread Have bled for your countries and counted your dead

{Chorus} We're the the first ones to starve We're the first ones to die the first ones in line for that "pie in the sky" And we're always the last, when the cream is shared out For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

In the factories and mills, the shipyards and mines We've often been told to keep up with the times For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job With slide-rule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed

{Chorus}

And when the sky darkens, and the prospect is war Who's given a gun and then pushed to the fore? And expected to die for the land of our birth Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth

{Chorus}

And all of these things the worker has done From tilling the field to carrying the gun We've been yoked to the plough since time first began And always expected to carry the can

{Chorus 2x}

Guileless son, I'll shape your belief And you'll always know that your father's a thief And you won't understand the cause of your grief But you'll always follow the voices beneath
