The Snake - The Insyderz

Last night as I slept

I dreamt I met Macgowan

That poetic old drunk

Who consumes me with his words

The romantic lines of verse

He writes down without effort

I pray the angels catch him

If he should fall from the grace of God

Shane oh Shane

Oh God bless that name

You’ve sold your soul long ago

But we’ll buy it back someday

Oh Shane oh Shane

Oh God bless that name

May the heavens smile down upon

You, Shane oh Shane

As the time passes by

You defy the laws of nature

The hard life that you lived

Should have ended long ago

But there’s a reason that

You’re still Here and singing with us

So strike up the band and raise a glass

For Macgowan as we sing!

The Irishman in question

And his historic legend

I pray to God above

For the church of the Holy Spook

May the Grace and the mercy shown me

Be the life that’s breathed within you

So the heavens will rejoice

And Shane will lead the choir
