to coincide with increasing levels of stereotyping of Irish on the board, i've posted a new link to our new national anthem; any thoughts?

Narrow minds only please

Come on everyone, feel free to get it out of your systems

    I always said, if anyone was going to perfectly sum up the Irish condition through song, it would be Dolly Parton...

    Apparently, we Irish also possess the ability to amplify a tin whistle without using our microphones. :p
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Wait, this doesn't perfectly paint the life of the Irish?! Don't ruin my image! The only thing she didn't mention getting drunk and starting barroom brawls. Oh and getting drunk on whiskey and starting barroom fights.

    haggis is the new crack
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    That's Scottish. Haggis, not crack. Craic is Irish, though. I am Irish. and I think you're all jejune jesuits. ;)

    I've no volume on my computer so can someone please tell me what's going on? :D

    And yep, I have to say some of the stereotyping is actually quite funny! :D I had a thread before explaining that Ireland is actually NOT part of the UK/Britain/England :D I had to cos the amount of people making comments to the contrary... and quite a few people responded that they genuinely didn't know that :o I mean what the fuck do they think all the fighting was about? Just cos we were all drunk? :D
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you
  • JordyWordyJordyWordy Posts: 2,261
    Here ya go Hels: :D

    "We Irish love to sing
    We Irish love to dance
    We Irish love to party
    Whener' we get the chance
    We have a lot of troubles
    But we have a lot of soul
    We'll drink a pint of Guiness
    And forget about our woes
    Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best

    We love our myths and stories
    We love a mournful song
    We love our joyful music
    And a good old sing-a-long
    We love our pennywhistle
    Uilleann pipes and air bodhrán
    We Irish love our football
    Our heros and our homes

    Repeat Chorus

    We Irish love St. Patty
    We love to celebrate
    And nothing suits us better than
    An all-out green parade
    Green beer and hats and jackets
    Green dresses, shirts and ties
    And nothing could be brighter
    Than the light in Irish eyes

    We got a pub on every corner
    And a church to worship in
    We party hard then pray the Lord
    Forgive us of our sins
    We rid ourselves of grief and guilt
    Relieve our troubled hearts
    I know God loves the Irish
    And accepts us as we are

    Repeat Chorus

    Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best

    Repeat Chorus

    Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best "

    I've been crying all these years

    Remember this one? :)

    (although it's one of my guilty secrets :o I kinda like it)

    They say mother earth is breathing
    With each wave that finds the shore
    Her soul rises in the evening
    For to open twilight's door
    Her eyes are the stars in heaven
    Watching o'er us all the while
    And her heart it is in Ireland
    Deep within the Emerald Isle.

    We are forty against hundreds
    In someone else's bloody war
    We know not why we're fighting
    Or what we're dying for
    They will storm us in the morning
    When the sunlight turns to sky
    Death is waiting for its dance now
    Fate has sentenced us to die.

    (chorus)
    Ireland I am coming home
    I can see your rolling fields of green
    And fences made of stone.
    I am reaching out won't you take my hand
    I'm coming home Ireland.

    Oh the captain he lay bleeding
    I can hear him calling me
    "These men are yours now for the leading
    Show them to their destiny "
    And as I look up all around me
    I see the ragged tired and torn
    I tell them to make ready
    'Cause we're not waiting for the morn.

    Ireland I am coming home
    I can see your rolling fields of green
    And fences made of stone.
    I am reaching out won't you take my hand
    I'm coming home Ireland.

    Now the fog is deep and heavy
    As we forge the dark and fear
    We can hear their horses breathing
    As in silence we draw near
    There are no words to be spoken
    Just a look to say good-bye
    I draw a breath and night is broken
    As I scream our battle cry.

    Ireland I am coming home
    I can see your rolling fields of green
    And fences made of stone.
    I am reaching out won't you take my hand
    I'm coming home Ireland.

    Yes I am home Ireland

    We Were Forty Against Hundreds.....
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"

    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
