Back In The County Hell

Shane MacGowan & The Popes

Well oh well I'm back in the County Hell

I just flew in and my arms they feel like hell

I'm so glad to be back in the County Hell

I missed the smack, I missed the crack,

I missed the killings too

I missed the London Irish girls

But especially missed you

The USA never fails to make me blue



Put me in charge I'd execute the Artistic Queers

And all the fuckin' bastards that drink trendy Irish beers

My death squads would be kids from flats

All high from sniffin' glue

I'd use them to kill rich Brits

And the journalistic whores



The park bench Aristocrats

Are drinkin' in the park

And the junkies are still sneakin'

In for fix up after dark

And Jock laid out on his park bench

Like it was his home settee

Singin' like a fallen angel Me and Bobby McGee



When I've done my patriotic chore

And burnt London to the ground

I'll go back home to Nenagh

And get pissed every night in town

Like the ol' folks say,

You can't keep a good man down



And the park bench Aristocrats

Still drinkin' in the park

The junkies are still sneakin' in

For fix up after dark

Jock's still layed out on his park bench

Like it was his own settee

Singin' like a fallen angel

Me and Bobby McGee



Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

Nothin' ain't worth nothin if ain't free

Feelin good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

Feelin' good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
