    Ireland, Ireland Úberalles!
    There is one problem, I can just imagine 40,000 people standing and messing up
    `Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
    Über alles in der Welt`
    into
    `Ireland, Ireland, Umbrellas,
    Umbrellas in the wet`

    Marxman- Ship Ahoy


    A thousand cultures stolen ships that came sailing
    Sighted from the shoreline people stood waiting
    But armies came invading and raiding to conquer
    Understood nothing of a land that stood longer
    But might was much stronger than right could ever be
    Took away the land planned a new destiny
    Butchery and murder and still I say murder
    Butchery and murder and still I say murder

    Wait! Hold up cos Phrase will break the mould
    Culture growing stronger aging never old
    Death accelerating, and I don't want to die
    Fish hooked by a ship, Lord take me where I lie
    Gone where the lucky ones, disease or suicide
    The pride of survivors to cry for those that died
    To resurrect the status and overcome the ploy
    No bells or beads to barter for this young black boy

    Ship ahoy
    Lord take me where I lie, don't let my children die
    Ship ahoy
    Lord take me where I lie, don't let my children die

    Gone are the days now the ships cease to sail
    I don't think so what does a wage entail
    Nine of five slavery or a twenty four seven
    Most slaves tricked by the promise of a heaven
    Controlled by the sound of a whip that goes sack
    Mind - forged manacles make sure there's no slack
    Think your not a slave, cos no whip marks your back
    Now a bureaucrat wields the nine tails of the cat

    Ain't nothing changed but the weather the song remains the same
    Hollis comes left set up upon the Lamebrain
    You can't tame the beast, the beast can't be changed
    Have to smash the system, wisdom rearranged
    Slavery claimed to be histories mystery
    Wished it could be....It's still part of we
    Search and look around my birthplace is torn
    But England has fallen dusk negates dawn

    Ship ahoy
    Lord take me where I lie, don't let my children die
    Ship ahoy
    Lord take me where I lie, don't let my children die

    Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, now they call it perestroika
    Mandela's free but still can't stop the slaughter
    Now they call it free trade, free choice for all
    But the real freedom is ten per cent small
    Freedom is a song which the caged bird sings
    They keep the key all we see is the keyring
    Fooled by the glisten, but the glisten is not gold
    And I will not buy the beads that I'm sold

    I stand here stand clear truth be my witness
    How many Hitlers before you see the litmus
    Test I won't rest, slave who won't behave
    And no I want not the freedom of the slave
    If the East wants the beast let the beast roam
    Cos in the East the death of the beast was sown
    You can fool the people that they're equal
    But you won't fool me with a sequel

    You know, I'd kind of like to see the Number 1 Army Band strike that up with 50,000 people singing along in the stands, while the camera goes close up on Robbie, Shay, etc, standing firm, serious and singing the words with that pre-match intensity.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    There's currently a TV ad to the tune of "We're Jammin".

    The geezer is singing "We're Roamin'".

    See what he's done there?

    Anyway, myself and my one year old son would like to nominate "We're Roamin" as the new national anthem.

    Ja Bless.

    Whiskey in the Jar aside, and I think Amhran na BhFiann is good, another good one I think would be Oro se do beatha bhaile (sorry, its probably spelled wrong)

    You're pretty close, Oró, Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile.

    The Rathlin Bog?

    A shot a verse before the match, and so long as we're not playing some former Soviet country, we'll be grand!
