Crass - Do They Owe Us a Living?

1.
Well oft-times we grumble and oft-times we groan,
And oft-times we sit and we whinge and we moan,
Of how our sons and daughters are forced to leave home,
And bid farewell to ould Éireann.
In hundreds and thousands, in gangs and in droves,
They gather their bags and they take to the roads,
In some far distant land there’s a life they are owed,
For you know they won’t get it in Éireann.

2.
Well it’s just a short journey, in the space of one day,
You can find yourself somewhere that’s far far away,
Where the sun often shines and it seldom is grey,
In direct opposition to Éireann.
You can then find a gaff not much rent for to give,
Large, big and comfy, not much rent for to give,
Not a dank one-roomed hovel for one thousand quid,
Like the ones that they rent you in Éireann.

3.
You may talk like a peasant, you may talk like a snob,
But when they hear your brogue well they’ll throw you a job,
You are Gaelic, Exotic, and you’ll make their hearts throb,
Because you come from the land of ould Éireann.
Your people are warriors, your people are Gaels,
You withstood the Empire with your old ancient ways,
You survived the famine, you’ve seen some dark days,
Let’s drink to the health of ould Éireann.

4.
Oh life can be easy, life can be a sport,
Set up in the New World with the golden passport,
Free drinks and kudos your eternal reward,
But your heart sinks when you think on Éireann.
For you miss all the slagging, and for Jaysus' sake,
The hot bowls of coddle that your ma used to make,
And the misdirected respect you find hard to take,
For your only ashamed of ould Éireann.

5.
Where the people are weak, and the people are spent,
From running in circles ’til their legs they are bent,
Lamenting the price of the petrol and rent,
We are slow to learn in ould Éireann.
And the green rag all tied round our ears and our eyes,
It stops us from telling the truth from the lies,
For competitional patience we’d win the first prize,
For we’re too easy going in Éireann.

6.
Where politicians and bankers they do as they please,
The pennies in our hands they laugh as they seize,
And the people are happy to remain on their knees,
And beg for the scraps in ould Éireann. 
We uphold the cult of the canny cute hoor,
Who steals from the mouths of the sick and the poor,
These charlatans, knaves, three-card trick men and boors,
Are running the show in ould Éireann

7.
With their cheap talk they fooled us, we were sold, we were had,
They led us up the path and they took us to bed,
They bent us right over, punched us in the head,
And they took us right up the ould Éireann.
We awake in the mornings with heads that are sore,
In the Dáil sit the pimps, we are the whores,
We cannot lie back and take this anymore,
Things must come to a head in ould Éireann!

8.
So if you find yourself in Australia or Amerikay,
And they drink to ould Éireann, well what can you say?
That your people aren’t warriors, nor are they saints,
We’ve an undeserved high reputation.
But its not too late to fight back and these tyrants eject,
Take back what’s ours from these primates erect,
Our purpose, our life, our own self-respect,
Then we’d have something to be proud of in Éireann.

Some of Sugar Hill's best and newest artists.

Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice - Bury Me Beneath The Weeping Willow

For What It's Worth (India Dub) [feat. Joey Lugassy] - DJ Drez

We first heard this song on Andy the Doorbum's (https://soundcloud.com/andythedoorbum) album, 'The Man Killed The Bird, And With The Bird He Killed The Song, And With The Song, Himself', and after contacting Andy to ask him about it, realised that it was a traditional song with a rich and deep history, even being included in F.J. Child's famous collection of ballads. It is related to 'The Lowlands Low' and other traditional nautical songs, and versions have been recorded all over America, as well as Scotland and Ireland.
This is our first ever public performance of the song and it was kindly recorded by Ian O' Donoghue live at The Sugar Club, Dublin on 28th June 2015.

Hauschka Kosminen Zeigler @ UM:LAUT - Live Snippet 1

From the upcoming album Blindfaller, out on Yep Roc Records September 30, 2016. 

Pre-order the new record here: https://lnk.to/blindfaller

Mandolin Orange - "Wildfire"

Saruman's March - Isengard Unleashed

Recorded in the winter of 2002 in a small suburban bedroom on Dublin's northside, this was the final track on the first installment in the Lynched discography.
A slightly more experimental approach was used, with a child's violin being employed, guitar strings being played with a bow and an uncharacteristic use of digital effects.
Perhaps unsurprisingly for the group, it charts the demise of the ruling classes through the metaphorical imagery of drowning pigs.

This is one of the first times we performed this song, and before we decided to add the old-timey tunes at the end.
From a gig in the Cobblestone on 28th March 2013, with Elizabeth LaPrelle and Jem Mitchell. We found it on the album, 'The Bird in the Bush (Traditional Erotic Songs)', where it is sung by Frankie Armstrong. 
It's a creepy one.
