O`malley`s Bar Lyrics

O`malley`s Bar lyrics

I am tall and I am thin
Of an enviable hight
And I've been known to be
quite handsome
In a certain angle and in certain light

Well I entered
into O'Malley's
Said, "O'Malley I have a thirst"
O'Malley merely smiled at
me
Said "You wouldn't be the first"

I knocked on the bar and
pointed
To a bottle on the shelf
And as O'Malley poured me out a
drink
I sniffed and crossed myself

My hand decided that the time was
nigh
And for a moment it slipped from view
And when it returned, it
fairly burned
With confidence anew

Well the thunder from my steely
fist
Made all the glasses jangle
When I shot him, I was so handsome
It
was the light, it was the angle

Huh! Hmmmmmm

"Neighbours!" I
cried, "Friends!" I screamed
I banged my fist upon the bar
"I bear no
grudge against you!"
And my dick felt long and hard

"I am the man for
which no God waits
But for which the whole world yearns
I'm marked by
darkness and by blood
And one thousand powder-burns"

Well, you know
those fish with the swollen lips
That clean the ocean floor
When I looked
at poor O'Malley's wife
That's exactly what I saw

I jammed the barrel
under her chin
And her face looked raw and vicious
Her head it landed in
the sink
With all the dirty dishes

Her little daughter
Siobhan
Pulled beers from dusk till down
And amongst the townfolk she was
a bit of a joke
But she pulled the best beer in town

I swooped
magnificent upon her
As she sat shivering in her grief
Like the Madonna
painted on the church-house wall
In whale's blood and banana leaf

Her
throat it crumbled in my fist
And I spun heroically around
To see Caffrey
rising from his seat
I shot that mother fucker down

Mmmmmmmmmm Yeah
Yeah Yeah

"I have no free will", I sang
As I flew about the
murder
Mrs. Richard Holmes, she screamed
You really should have heard
her

I sang and I laughed, I howled and I wept
I panted like a
pup
I blew a hole in Mrs. Richard Holmes
And her husband stupidly stood
up

As he screamed, "You are an evil man"
And I paused a while to
wonder
"If I have no free will then how can I
Be morally culpable, I
wonder"

I shot Richard Holmes in the stomach
And gingerly he sat
down
And he whispered weirdly, "No offense"
And then lay upon the
ground

"None taken", I replied to him
To which he gave a little
cough
With blazing wings I neatly aimed
And blew his head completely
off

I've lived in this town for thirty years
And to no-one I am a
stranger
And I put new bullets in my gun
Chamber upon chamber

And
I turned my gun on the bird-like Mr. Brookes
I thought of Saint Francis and
his sparrows
And as I shot down the youthful Richardson
It was St.
Sebastian I thought of, and his arrows

Hhhhhhhhhh Mmmmmmmmmmmm

I
said, "I want to introduce myself
And I am glad that all you came"
And I
leapt upon the bar
And shouted out my name

Well Jerry Bellows, he
hugged his stool
Closed his eyes and shrugged and laughed
And with an
ashtray as big as a fucking really big brick
I split his head in
half

His blood spilled across the bar
Like a steaming scarlet
brook
And I knelt at it's edge on the counter
Wiped the tears away and
looked

Well, the light in there was blinding
Full of God and ghosts
of truth
I smiled at Henry Davenport
Who made an attempt to
move

Well, from the position I was standing
The strangest thing I
ever saw
The bullet entered through the top of his chest
And blew his
bowels out on the floor

Well I floated down the counter
Showing no
remorse
I shot a hole in Kathleen Carpenter
Recently divorced

But
remorse i felt and remorse I had
It clung to every thing
From the raven's
hair upon my head
To the feathers on my wings

Remorse sqeezed my hand
in it's fradulent claw
With it's golden hairless chest
And I glided
through the bodies
And killed the fat man Vincent West

Who sat
quietly in his chair
A man become a child
And I raised the gun up to his
head
Executioner-style

He made no attempt to resist
So fat and
dull and lazy
"Did you know I lived in your street?" I said
And he looked
at me as though I were crazy

"O", he said, "I had no idea"
And he grew
as quiet as a mouse
And the roar of the pistol when it went off
Near blew
that hat right off the house

Hmmmmmm Uh Uh

Well, I caught my eye
in the mirror
And gave it a long and loving inspection
"There stands some
kind of man", I roared
And there did, in the reflection

My hair combed
back like a raven's wing
My muscles hard and tight
And curling from the
business end of my gun
Was a query-mark of cordite

Well I spun to the
left, I spun to the right
And I spun to the left again
"Fear me! Fear me!
Fear me!"
But no one did cause they were dead

Huh!
Hmmmmmmmmm

And then there were the police sirens wailing
And a
bull-horn squelched and blared
"Drop your weapons and come out
With your
hands held in the air"

Well, I checked the chamber of my gun
Saw I
had one final bullet left
My hand, it looked almost human
As I raised it
to my head

"Drop your weapon and come out!
Keep your hands above your
head!"
I had one one long hard think about dying
And did exactly what they
said

There must have been fifty cops out there
In a circle around
O'Malley's bar
"Don't shoot", I cried, "I'm a man unarmed!"
So they put
me in their car

And they sped me away from that terrible scene
And I
glanced out of the window
Saw O'Malley's bar, saw the cops and the
cars
And I started counting on my fingers

Aaaaaah One Aaaaaah Two
Aaaaaah Three Aaaaaaah Four
O'Malley's bar O'Malley's bar
