about

This style has been described to me as "Klezmer" or "La Pompe"; never heard of either.

lyrics

They misdelivered 60 tons of beer & corned beef hash
To Paddy Maloney's 87th birthday bash
Should have gone to Gortahork but the driver went the wrong way
With enough to feed Dún Laoghaire and west Dublin for a day

Arm in arm with Mrs Jones I was the whole day thru
But the Fly in the Ointment was she tipped her hat to you
Stepping out in Dublin/Squeezing all the boys
Her old man played the fool, now she's in Poolbeg making noise

Went to California to fill Leo Kottke's shoes
But the Fly in the Ointment was the battle with the booze
One more Jameson's whisky/a little more coke & rum
Now I'm on the East Coast struggling in the scrum

Arm in arm with Mrs Jones I was the whole day thru
But the Fly in the Ointment was she tipped her hat to you
Stepping out in Brooklyn/Squeezing all the boys
Her old man played the fool, now she's uptown making noise

"No one writes like Moore: setting scenes using peculiar lyrical details, tying slipknots in the human timeline; history intertwines with the present, bringing death to life. All that comes into play on Graveyards, Wind, & War." ___ Kevin Curtin, Austin Chronicle
