Lyrics for Smugglers & Scholars
MhĂșscail sibh an fathach NĂ duine maslach mĂ©, but I'm past that Ăr n-athair atĂĄ lĂĄn de agro Focan fĂĄg na cunts mar creatlach NĂl mĂ© ach ag magadh Get me back on the leash, madadh Embarrassed the police, the magistrates The prosecution agus an bhreitheamh I'll never learn my lesson Always be government's obsession Talk of the town when I'm walking around TĂĄ do mhĂĄthair gafa liom freisin Calling mĂ© sceimhleitheoir, never heard that said before BuĂochas le dia gur luaigh sibh sin liom I'd mostly been lying in bed before Smugglers and scholars Getting guns with American dollars Did it bĐ”fore do it again no bother Don't need your help with intĐ”rnal matters Smugglers and scholars Getting guns with American dollars Did it before do it again no bother Don't need your help with internal matters NĂl faic a dhĂ©anann muidinne nĂos fearr Scrios ar an rialtas Ăł bun go barr Ar fad insa stair, Ă©irĂ amach gach glĂșin NĂ luĂonn muid sĂos rĂł-Ă©asca, ciĂșin So let me bring it all back to the start Insa cheantar seo you're gonna go far MĂĄ lĂ©irĂonn tĂș meas do na daoine ar fad A thĂĄinig romhat agus a d'imigh trĂd slad A mhair trĂd an ifreann thanks be to god 'Cause na SĂ© Chontae was an awful slog Is muid an drĂșcht geal ceo ag cur i gcuimhne dĂł Go n-Ă©irĂonn an fhuiseog beo insa cheol Ăist, is gan dabht BhĂ muid fĂĄgtha le Cnoc an Anfa Thit sĂ© anuas and now we're laughin' Got it all now and we started with nothin' Smugglers and scholars Getting guns with American dollars Did it before do it again no bother Don't need your help with internal matters Smugglers and scholars Getting guns with American dollars Did it before do it again no bother Don't need your help with internal matters Soilse gorma sa tsrĂĄid Cuirfidh muid glaoch ar na bais Iad siĂșd atĂĄ i gceannas no lies Anois tĂĄ teannas outside But the neighbours are wise Staying put cause they're not no spies IngearĂĄn thuas it's now doing laps Thart anseo nĂl trust do na cops Now all the boys in black at the shops With petrol bombs and their favourite rocks Is breĂĄ liom mo phobail Still keep my head down, suas le mo chochall SiĂșil taobh srĂĄide, movements subtle Man of a few words CĂșpla focal Ya think it's all poetry and clovers When it's raincoats and police Land Rovers Salt of the earth, looking over their shoulder Someone shot in turf, chopper hovering over Seo Fenian gluaiseacht Coinnigh gach rud druidte seachas cluasa Joyriders dĂ©anamh scrios ar ghluaisteĂĄin Ceantar thuas seal, thĂos seal It's not catchphrase, don't say what ya see Splinter groups ag an doras san oĂche They won't need a warrant and they won't need keys 'Cause they've got an appointment with your son's knees Smugglers and scholars Getting guns with American dollars Did it before do it again no bother Don't need your help with internal matters Smugglers and scholars Getting guns with American dollars Did it before do it again no bother Don't need your help with internal matters
