Dropkick Murphys - Going Out In Style Lyrics






I've seen a lot of sights and traveled many miles
Shook a thousand hands and seen my share of smiles
I've caused some great concern and told one too many lies
And now I see the world through these sad, old, jaded eyes

So what if I threw a party and all my friends were there?
Acquaintances, relatives, the girls who never cared
You'll have a host of rowdy hooligans in a big line out the door
Side by side with sister barbara, chief wells and bobby orr
I'd invite the flannigans
Replace the window you smashed out
I'd apologize to sluggo for pissing on his couch
I'll see mrs. mcauliffe and so many others soon
Then I'll say I'm sorry for what I did sleepwalking in her room

So what if I threw a party and invited Mayor Menino?
He'd tell you to get a permit
Well this time tom I don't think so
It's a neighborhood reunion
But now we'd get along
Van Morrison would be there and he'd sang me one last song
With a backup band of bass players to keep us up all night
Three handsome four string troubadours and Newton's old Fat Mike
I'll be in the can having a smoke with Garv and Johnny Fitz
But there's a backup in the bathroom 'cause the badger's got the shits

You may bury me with an enemy in mount calvary
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
You can take my urn to fenway spread my ashes all about
Or you can bring me down to wolly beach and dump the sucker out
Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style

Make me up dress me up, feed me a big old shot
Of embalming fluid highballs so i don't start to rot
Now take me to Mcgreevy's, i wanna buy one final round
What cheap prick would peel an orange in his pocket
Then hurry up and suck 'em down

If there's a god the girls you loved will all come walking through the door
Maybe they'll feel bad for me and this stiff will finally score
You've got the bed already
And nerve and courage too
Cause i've been slugging from a stash of desi queally's 1980s bathtub brew

You may bury me with an enemy in mount calvary
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
You can take my urn to fenway spread my ashes all about
Or you can bring me down to wolly beach and dump the sucker out
Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style

You may bury me with an enemy in mount calvary
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
You can take my urn to fenway spread my ashes all about
Or you can bring me down to wolly beach and dump the sucker out
Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
You may bury me with an enemy in mount calvary
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
You can take my urn to fenway spread my ashes all about
Or you can bring me down to wolly beach and dump the sucker out
Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
You may bury me with an enemy in mount calvary
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style

Spread all my ashes about
Dump the sucker out
Toast me for a while
I'm going out in style

  1. A.... B....

    Adore this song

  2. S.... L....

    As good as these guys are and as awesome are the people I have become friends with from Ireland. One thing makes me sad, they are not all mad, drunk rage filled people! They are some of the most loyal stand up people I have ever met. Wish their larry persona was played down a little in every form of media. A harder, loyal, righteous and upstanding nationality have I ever met!

  3. L.... O....

    Renegade Editor’s Note: You don’t have to believe everything being said here, but there is definitely a thread of truth to the presentation.

    Joseph McNamara, MD on the Atlantean colonization of Ancient Ireland. Brilliant, controversial & compelling, a must see presentation. Dr Joe McNamara was born and raised in Ireland. He speaks fluent Gaelic, and is a true expert of Celtic lore, mythology and cosmology. After graduating medical school, he moved to the United States, drawn there by what he felt was the most open-minded and exciting culture in the world. In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, he practiced medicine for over 20 years as a physician. He started in Emergency Care, shifted to Family Medicine, and then felt called to open his own practice. He named it ‘Cara an Anam’, which is Gaelic for “Friend of the Soul.” In 2012, he began working with the Earth-Keeper organization, which aligned with his spiritual interests. As part of the leadership of Earth-Keeper tours he shared his knowledge of ancient Celtic lore. He currently travels in the US, giving presentations to forward-thinking organizations. He is working on a book that explains his innovative theories in depth. The presentations combine rigorous science with spiritual belief and healing.

    But when the face of Sextus
    Was seen among the foes,
    A yell that rent the firmament
    From all the town arose.
    On the house-tops was no woman
    But spat towards him and hissed,
    No child but screamed out curses,
    And shook its little fist.
    XXVI

    But the Consul's brow was sad,
    And the Consul's speech was low,
    And darkly looked he at the wall,
    And darkly at the foe.
    ``Their van will be upon us
    Before the bridge goes down;
    And if they once may win the bridge,
    What hope to save the town?''
    XXVII

    Then out spake brave Horatius,
    The Captain of the Gate:
    ``To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh soon or late.
    And how can man die better
    Than facing fearful odds,
    For the ashes of his fathers,
    And the temples of his gods,
    XXVIII

    ``And for the tender mother
    Who dandled him to rest,
    And for the wife who nurses
    His baby at her breast,
    And for the holy maidens
    Who feed the eternal flame,
    To save them from false Sextus
    That wrought the deed of shame?

    George Lincoln Rockwell’s 100th Birthday Anniversary!
    10th March 2018 jlamprecht 1329 Views 0 Comments
    [I was a bit slow in publishing this. But the other day was his 100th birthday anniversary and I am told that there were people who gathered in Washington to remember him. Rockwell knew whites and he knew the future. I’m glad that decades later they begin to realise what a GREAT MAN he really was! He was awesome. And for us whites he is a shining light as the first white man after WW2 to go on the attack against the Jews and blacks in the USA while the rest of the white populace was asleep. He went and fought and died for us, even though most people did not understand and grasp the importance of what he was doing!

    He is critically important because he found a way to fight the Jews in a country where the mass of English whites were asleep. The Jews had to kill him because otherwise he would have been successful. His problem was that whites did not want to be led by him. But he knew it was critically important to keep on doing so anyway even though many disagreed with him and they came and went. But he stuck to his goals until the Jews had him assassinated. Jan]

    Today March 9, 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of George Lincoln Rockwell’s birth. The man needs little to no presentation as his achievements have been covered far and wide, not only at Renegade Tribune, but also in a host of different websites all over the Internet. His philosophy as leader and activist gets pretty much encapsulated in the first video, which shows to what extent George Lincoln Rockwell was a “controversial” figure in the still conservative America of the 1960s. One is left to wonder what would have the über-Liberal mainstream media of today done with him had he been around in such an age like the one we have been so “privileged”, as White people, to live in. I suppose he would have been literary burned at the stake by the Jewish-Marxist inquisitorial front, but one is also left to think what George Lincoln Rockwell would have done with a tool such as the Internet had he had the chance to use it.

    My family better play this at my funeral,, an party in the same style (as they're Irish) or I'll haunt them until their dying days 😂

  54. �.... ....

    So what does the phrase "going out in style" exactly mean? I'm not a native English speaker and I kind of get the idea but can't make it clear

    World's Greatest Wake. I want one like that but with the new Penicillin Cocktail with ginger-honey syrup + 2 different scotches. Serve Penicillin from a simple 4 ingredients recipe in little teacups as punch from a punch bowl + let mourners serve themselves.

    M.... E....

    For music at my wake, either klesmer jazz, New Orleans funeral marches, Dixieland Blues, belly dancing music, or patriotic hymns.

    M.... E....

    ...or Russian gypsy violin songs or Cosaack dances + their patriotic songs, which are MUCH better than ours.

    M.... E....

    If I'm famous enough for Russians to be interested let's them put on my funeral + pay for my wake. Also I wish to be buried in Pere Chez in Paris or with Lenin in his tomb. Arlington National Cemetery is fine for a lying out but very, very depressing. Bury me intact in a good quality coffin entirely built of wood, no metal hinges or handles at all.

    I want an angel headstone that looks like winged victory. Maybe the Old Girl, herself, will allow herself to be moved from the Louvre to Pere Chez or Moscow.

    My inscription should read:

    Cathy A. (nee Kelly) Levin

    "She did her best + we are grateful."
