In Georgie orgy Dublin, sensation and sin Nora was a chambermaid at the Lincoln's Inn Joyce was playing his guitar and learning how to sing He'll never be McCormac, he'll never meet the king He'll betray his mother, he'll defy his god He will mock his lessers while his betters get the nod In dreams he'll be in brothels, while flouring his cod Licentiousness and vice Essentially James Joyce For love he'll pay the price Essentially James Joyce A breakfast made for Molly, the day begins in ernest The fiery coal that makes the tea resembles Vulcan's furnace While memories of lovers past flicker through her mind The slavish man with a frying pan alights to pull the blind To second guess her thinking would burn you to a crust The day is calling, you'd better go as you know you must For love he'll pay the price Essentially James Joyce He has no other choice Essentially James Joyce A younger man now waking, down at Sandy Cove Shaking taunts from braggers, his body aches to rove He takes his leave with the smell of the sea To Dublin he will go History is cruel to forget so many lives The streets are named for kings and queens, not for men and wives In exile like Lucifer and blinded in one eye The shepherd leads us nowhere so nowhere we shall stride Around the map he made us Around and 'round we go 'Til Molly shouts "Yes yes, oh yes." Essentially James Joyce

about

The Dublin City Rounders Dublin, Ireland

If The Dublin City Rounders were a dog it would be a pink bulldog with a cowboy hat, a studded leather collar and sporting a sleeveless denim jacket.

Two Irish brothers, one mind and a single beating heart made of rock n roll gold.
Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads!
