I'll be seeing the Dropkick Murphys with Flogging Molly next week at Festival Pier in Philly. Should be a really good time, I belive this is the first time they've ever played together. I've only seen DKM once before at Warped Tour which doesn't really do any band justice. This will be my 4th or 5th Flogging Molly show and they always play a good set. I'm hoping for some type of collaborations seeing how this is the only night they're doing together.

the entire album is up on their myspace site!
spider sounds pretty insane on Flannigan's Ball

I'm forcing myself not to listen to any of the songs on their MySpace right now. That way it will make the experience of popping the CD in my car more exciting.

It's a shite album I think. There are 3 or 4 really good songs (Flannigan's Ball and State of Mass being 2 of them).

I think they killed Spancill Hill by doing a really crappy version iof it and all the 'choir' singing is awful too

its hard for me to understand what ronnie and spider are saying :cry:

here ya go:

IN THE TOWN OF MILTON ONE BRIAN FLANNIGAN BATTERED AWAY TILL HIS MONEY WAS SPENT
THEN HE HIT A BIG ONE AND FELT LIKE A MAN AGAIN, BOUGHT A THREE DECKER WITH TWO FLOORS FOR RENT

HE THREW A BIG PARTY FOR FRIENDS AND RELATIONS AT A GRAND OLD PLACE CALLED FLORIAN HALL
AND IF YOU'LL JUST LISTEN I'LL MAKE YOUR EYES GLISTEN TO THE ROWS AND THE RUCTIONS OF FLANNIGAN'S BALL.

CHORUS:
SIX LONG MONTHS I SPENT IN QUINCY,
SIX LONG MONTHS DOING NOTHING AT ALL,
SIX LONG MONTHS I SPENT IN QUINCY
LEARNING TO DANCE FOR FLANNIGAN'S BALL
I STEPPED OUT AND I STEPPED IN AGAIN,
I STEPPED OUT AND I STEPPED IN AGAIN,
I STEPPED OUT AND I STEPPED IN AGAIN
LEARNING TO DANCE FOR FLANNIGAN'S BALL.

FREE BEER ON TAP AND WINE FOR THE LADIES, ZITI AND SAUCE FOR MARK PORZIO
THERE WERE FAHEYS AND BRADYS, MCAULIFFES AND DALEYS COURTIN THE GIRLS AND DANCING AWAY.

BRIAN TULLY SANG OUT IN HIS FINEST FORM, THE PATRON'S RESPONDED AND I LEAD EM ALL
I'D SPENT 6 MONTHS AT FORBES ACADAMY LEARNING TO DANCE FOR FLANNIGAN'S BALL

CHORUS:

THE BOYS WERE HAMMERED THE GIRLS WERE HEARTY DANCING AROUND IN COUPLES AND GROUPS
AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED YOUNG DENNIS FLEMMING PUT HIS RIGHT LEG THROUGH MISS FINNERAN'S HOOPS

THIS GAL SHE FAINTED AND CRIED BLOODY MURDER, CALLED FOR HER SONS AND GATHERED THEM ALL,
CHRISTOPHER SWORE HE'D GO NO FURTHER TILL HE HAD REVENGE AT FLANNIGAN'S BALL

CHORUS:

IN THE MIDST OF THE MELEE MISS COLLINS FAINTED HER CHEEKS BY NOW WERE AS RED AS A ROSE
SOME OF THE BOYS DECLARED SHE WAS PLASTERED HAD A SMALL DROP TO MUCH I SUPPOSE

YOUNG SCOTTY JENKINS SO BIG AND ABLE SAW HIS FAIR COLLEEN STRETCHED BY THE WALL
TORE THE LEFT LEG FROM UNDER THE TABLE AND SMASHED ALL THE DISHES AT FLANNIGAN'S BALL

BOY OH BOY NOW THIS WAS A RUMBLE MYSELF TOOK A LICK FROM MEAN RICKY GREEN
BUT I SOON REPLIED TO THAT FINE INTRODUCTION AND GAVE HIM A TERRIBLE KICK IN THE SPLEEN

TALENT THE PIPER NEARLY GOT STRANGLED, THEY SQUEEZED ON HIS BELLOWS, CHANTERS AND ALL,
THE GIRLS IN THE MIDDLE NEARLY GOT TRAMPLED AND THAT PUT AN END TO FLANNIGAN'S BALL

CHORUS:
