The Ol' Beggars Bush Lyrics - Swagger - Flogging Molly

Stuck on limbo bridge 

Where below me ol' Nick grins 

Then laughs through the chaos of it all 

Gets up off his chair 

Spins a jig to my despair 

He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong 

Underneath the bush 

Lay a beggar out of luck 

On his lips, was a taste he forgets 

His hopes were filled with sand 

That he watched fall through his hand 

Every grain, was a lifetime of regret 

So go and bow your head and weep 

For your world won't change while you sleep 

Yeah, go and bow your head and weep 

For the summer that was lost, now is gone 

For the summer that was lost, now is gone 

Fertile Mrs. Moore had thirteen kids 

But still looked good 

'Till her ol' man jumped leave on a ship 

She never read a book 

But by Christ she understood 

That the meanin' of life 

Starts in bed 

So go and bow your head and weep 

For your world won't change while you sleep 

Yeah, go and bow your head and weep 

For the summer that was lost, now is gone 

Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone 

Killer Kilbain kicked me senseless everyday 

I hope that bastard is beneath a head of stone 

Where I'd dance upon his grave 

For all the madness I now crave 

While the scars that remain are still a curse 

So I'm stuck on a limbo bridge 

Where below me ol' Nick grins 

Then laughs through the chaos of it all 

Gets up off his chair 

Spins a jig to my despair 

He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong 

Yeah, he can't wait to count the times where I went wrong 

So go and bow your head and weep 

For your world won't change while you sleep 

Yeah, go and bow your head and weep 

For the summer that was lost, now is gone 

Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone 

Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone 

For the summer that was lost, now is gone
