Wasn't that a Party
Irish Rover Lyrics
chorus:
Could've been the whiskey
It might have been the gin
Could have been the three or four six packs, I don't know
But look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party
Wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
Talking to my old tom cat
They were talking about hockey
The cat was talking back
Long about then everything went black
Wasn't that a party
I'm sure it's just my memory
Playing tricks on me
But I think I saw my buddy
Cutting down my neighbor's tree
(chorus)
Billy Joe and Tommy
Well they went a little far
They were sitting in the back yard, blowing on a siren
From somebody's police car
So you see, Your Honor
It was all in fun
The little bitty track meet down on main street
Was just to see if the cops could run
Well they run us in to see you
In an alcoholic haze
I sure can use those thirty days
To recover from the party
(repeat chorus x2, fade)

Born as the Victim Of Geography 1000 miles behind & far away from Ireland, with human & emigration rights denied by both the bloody 3rd world & Irish government, this 1 rebel In 3rd world’s chains is betrayed and forgotten, long time awaiting freedom and move home towards Republic Of Ireland. Born ‘n’ doomed by the many hells of the 3rd world, the path of Irish Rover’s life and music is one paved with pain, misery and everlasting dream of breaking free, reaching the freedom of the civilized world and bringing the music of essence, attitude and furious devotion to where it truly belongs. Unlike the one too many pagan celtic boys' bands & their poseurs masses of fans, it was never about cheers, beers & fucking football for Irish Rover. Irish Rover speaks & sings against the system ! Original Irish Rover music is rooted in rebellion, anti-governmental, anti-corporate, anti-police stance, anarchy, human & animal liberation, Christian & Vegan attitude, all seen through eyes of a homeless outcast immigrant. Once in Ireland, Irish Rover is seeking to gather the hardcore backing band of like-minded musicians. Led by Irish Rover - Rover MacChroí, Irish Rover And The Crew is bound to become the No.1 Anti-System Irish punk band in Ireland & worldwide. Until then - rebel, bring back the good old rebel spirit back to Ireland. Never sell out, never compromise - Irish Punk's Not Dead.

Myself and my cousins carried my grandfathers coffin into a room filled with family and friends to this song, had everyone up clapping and it was truly beautiful. Made the day far less sombre and far more celebratory. Thank you rovers xx
