Christy Moore - Ringing That Bell Lyrics
Still they keep on ringing that bell
Through the blacked-out windows of my bedsit hell
From the steeple high they still taunt me
With all their smug impunity
Those bells ring with no guilt or shame
The truth was told their numbers fell
Still they keep on ringing that bell
Through the blacked-out windows of my bedsit hell
Still they keep on ringing that bell
How I wish Justine was here
Grá geal mo chroí mo chuisle dear
When she left me years ago she said
She couldn't live with the demons in my head
Sweet Justine my Brixton Queen
Some stories hurt too much to tell
Like the fire that only drink can quell
Through the blacked-out windows of my bedsit hell
Still they keep on ringing that bell
Still they keep on ringing that bell
As I count me coins for a bottle of Glen
I'll get a drink in me and I'll make a start
Declare to Christ and the sacred heart
All them sanctimonious pricks out there
From Letterfrack to St Peter's square
From down in the burning pits of hell
Still they keep on ringing that bell
Through the blacked-out windows of my bedsit hell
Still they keep on ringing that bell
Still they keep on ringing that bell
Still they keep on ringing that bell

Christy Moore Ringing That Bell Comments
Cracking song. Heard it on him new album. The line of Irish is a lovely addition and for me adds a new dimension. Was that his idea or yours?

Beautiful song!
Saw christy playing this in Vicar st. Last night and had to find it straight away when I got home. Great song and lyrics, powerful stuff and anepic version by a legend! Would love to get this song on Apple Music!!
Hi Jamie. Rob here. Thanks for your lovely comments on the song. I've kept the song off apple music as I decided that while itunes paid a fair amount to musicians for sales, the addition of Apple Music was a way for them to start paying us nothing for our music. I figured spotify already streams our music and allows people to download it to a device for free, and we've had to accept that and move with the times...but I didn't like that Apple were starting to discourage people from buying music. So the song is on Itunes, bandcamp and spotify but not AppleMusic I'm afraid. I'm sorry for the big rambling spiel, I'm just very grateful for your kind words so I wanted to explain my reasoning. I'm also not giving out about people who stream music (on spotify or apple music etc) - those are great resources for listeners and great places to discover new music...but I just had to make a difficult decision on that one and that's how it went. And I couldn't be more chuffed and honoured that the song has been sung so passionately by the great man. If the other locations are any use to you the song is on this album here https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/inverse-alchemy/1313685770 and here https://robcorcoran.bandcamp.com/album/inverse-alchemy You can also find it on spotify. The inside word is that Christy may be recording it in coming months. You'll have to ask him if that will be on Apple Music :) All the best and happy new year. Rob
Same here now just watched in Westport last night hence I'm here
@Covsownblaine Really glad you like the song. I feel very blessed to have Christy sing it
