Fearless

Fearless

Fearless

I’m fuckin fearless

Try me now why don’t ya

An’  I promise ya faithfully

Ya won’t last too long

Cos I’m the wan they’re all on about

When they’re drinkin their fuckin coffee

Above in Sullivan’s café

Yeh I’m the wan that ripped the fag machine

Down off the wall above in Bernie’s lounge

I’m the likes that spreads myself  out on a bench

Above in the square of a summer’s day

Suckin a flagon with me shirt tore off an’ me pot belly out

Fuckin an’ blindin anyone who’d be passin

Tellin dem I’m fearless fuckin fearless

Last Friday I got shteamed above in Cork

Got fucked outta Henry’s for bitin some youngfella’s ear off

Well as I was passin out beyond the viaduct

I got a mad tashpie to run out on the road

An’ I screamin into the headlights how I’m fearless fuckin fearless

I’m the laziest oul bollox that ever you  met

But I’d ate your fuckin eyeballs in a shot

I ’m barred from every pub in town an’ every bookies too

But I’d walk to Tipperary for a drink an’ a bet

Yeh I’d walk to Tipperary for a drink an a bet

Cos I’m fearless

Fuckin fearless

Don’t believe me?

Doubt me now?

Watch me go so.

Till I stick a pint glass into me brow

An’ lepp up onto the counter like a pure fuckin tiger

An’  kick the heads wan by wan off the beer taps

And I  watchin meself  in the big bar mirror

As I dance in the blood an’ the fountains o’ beer

Yeh as  I dance in the blood an’ the fountains o’ beer
