Flogging Molly - Welcome To Adamstown Lyrics






Read us in the papers
There's nothing else to do
Grab yourself a sandwich,
While you're there I'll have one too
Running round the corner
Where there used to be a shop
Now they're in the junk
And how much do you want me
This is what we've got

Welcome to Adamstown
We're still looking for what we found
Yeah, welcome to Adamstown
We're just shadows in the ghost town

Hey!

Home is now the west side
Or was supposed to be
Listen to the carnage
From the tired and empty streets
We built ourselves a savior
Then tore it all apart
Work is in the pipeline
Train is on the wrong line
Get me out of here!

Welcome to Adamstown
We're still looking for what we found
Yeah, welcome to Adamstown
We're just shadows in the ghost town

Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Take the money and
Things are not all as they seem
In this run down suburban dream
The tiger may have lost its roar
But we will never lose our soul
Maybe someday we'll appear
I have my doubts please make it here
Please make it here
Welcome to Adamstown
We're still looking for what we found
Yeah, welcome to Adamstown
We're just shadows in the ghost town

Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Oh take it, take it

Flogging Molly Welcome To Adamstown Comments
  1. C.... O....

    I love this song by Flogging Molly

  2. C.... D....

    Love this song!

  3. N.... B....

    They have become a very professional Band, maybe that "punky, imperfekt" attitude is what gets lost first if you reach that level. Theyre fast wicked songs are still the best off them.

  4. s.... ....

    s.... ....

    mariachi? :v

    s.... ....

    Si las aprte instruemntales suenan bastante a mariachi

    If this song was about the Adamstown near me, it's definitely not, I'd say why are you singing about the decline of Adamstown there was nothing there to begin with.

    L.... R....

    “Welcome To Adamstown”, for example, tells the story of Adamstown, a community that had been planned for west of Dublin, but was forced to come to a halt after Dublin was hit with a recession, and now remains only partially completed. “It had a huge negative connotation to it,” says Flogging Molly vocalist and songwriter, Dave King. “But now it’s starting to turn again, people are starting to move there, businesses are starting to open, and there is hope.” King further describes the song as “West Dublin meets East LA.” http://www.northerntransmissions.com/song-of-the-day/welcome-adamstown-flogging-molly/

    Malleus6 Interesting. Thank you kind stranger

  6. D.... R....

    This song is amazing. I do wish there was lyrics to it. I feel like punk/rock is a dying thing.....but they are one of the few keeping it alive. Their live music is some of the best ever. And I have always related to this band through the lyrics.

  7. p.... ....

    So new yet so familiar

  8. M.... S....

    Was anyone else hoping they would return tho their original sound?

    M.... S....

    you are not alone in this. I was hoping they will get back to that raw folk sound. But this is more similar to last album. Songs are good but could be a lot better.Maybe they decided to take one more chance with this sound...I M hoping for the next aalbum to be more folky and piratey...

    M.... S....

    Yes! Exactly what i'm thinking. Love the raw punky piratey sound that is Flogging Molly.

  9. E.... K....

    Hope I get to see the song live sometime, wasn't in the Denver setlist. Next time fingers crossed!!

  10. D.... M....

    cant wait till the 16th in St.Paul!

  11. D.... M....

    cant wait till the 16th in St.Paul!
