The Likes Of You Again Lyrics - Swagger - Flogging Molly

Here's to you, I sing for my daddy-o 

As I lay him down to sleep 

It's been so long, since I lost my daddy-o 

Hope he's watchin' over me 

Wednesday night is mornin' now 

As I'm walkin' in the rain 

The birds are screaming in my ear 

Drivin' me insane 

Half the clouds are empty so the sun burst through the sky 

The puddles show reflection of a face about to die 

Just around the corner, I was goin' round the bend 

I ran into a staggerin' fool who said he knew my name 

He poured himself a whiskey and his face began to glow 

Two men without and answer like a dog without a bone 

Bringin' in the new year as the bells began to ring 

Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing 

Time to get another, before the final shout 

You should have heard them roarin' when they dragged the bugger out 

And we'll never see the likes of you again 

Jimbo came from slummin town a cold and dreary place 

To summerland he found himself the sun shun on his face 

Met a girl called Minnie Pearl swore she'd always be his girl 

Happy ever after, 'till the tide ran out again 

Pour me all your sorrows and I'll drink till you are dry 

I'll love you in the mornin', Christ, I'll love ya till you die 

I'll never leave so never grieve, I'll be back before ya know 

But Jimbo fell into a well and never rambled home 

Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin' bag 

Back and forth through painted brick the colors all seemed bland 

I've traveled all these years, he said to only get this far 

So he crossed the street found a seat, his home is now a bar 

And we'll never see the likes of you again 

No, we'll never see the likes of you again 

There must be more to life, than this poxie life 

All the aggro, all the pain 

So he disappeared into this final beer 

But the glass was empty, once again, again, again 

Woke up in an awful state dreamt I was at Peter's Gate 

Beggin' for his mercy and the crimes that were at hand 

He told me he was much amused to see this life I had abused 

Best be on your way, but have a swig before you go 

So I'm bringin' in the New Year as the bells began to ring 

Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing 

Time to get another, before the final shout 

You should have heard them roarin' when the dragged the bugger out 

And we'll never see the likes of you again 

No, we'll never see the likes of you again 

No, we'll never see the likes of you again
