Here is another one from a tribute concert performed at the Village Arts Centre Kilworth on Friday 24th January 2014 with myself on lead vocals and 5 string long neck banjo along with a great team of musicians to commemorate Luke Kelly's 30th Anniversary of his death. He was my great inspiration! We celebrate his life and music. Written by Ewan McColl

Schooldays Over - Luke Kelly 30th Anniversary Concert Jan 2014

If I Should Fall from Grace with God

The Irish Rover (feat. The Dubliners)

[Lyrics] 
Idiots Like Idioms Like Me

[Verse1] 

I got a bird in my hand, and that bastard is bitin', 
The two in the bush over crumbs they were fightin'.

Then the bush caught fire and those two birds went flyin', 
an' I'm here sucking my thumb so I don’t end up cryin'.

The cart's in front of the horse—it's in Vegas, I swear
While I'm biting the bullet, because life’s just unfair.

[Chorus]
 So I don't count my chickens cause they're all on the grill, 
And I'm burnin' the midnight oil, just to pay my Netflix bill. 

I broke a leg, when I fell off the wagon, 
Ex-wife hit the jackpot, now she’s out braggin’ .

 [Verse2]
I’m out sellin' tickets, to watch as pigs fly, 
Piece of cake, I bite the bullet and I try. 

Straight from the horse's mouth, I'm spillin' the beans
Now they’re on the floor and all over my dreams.
 
Under the weather, feel like kickin' the bucket,
If I land in the casket, I’ll wear a shirt from “Untuck it”.

 [Chorus]
So I don't count my chickens cause they're all on the grill,
And I'm burnin' the midnight oil, just to pay my Netflix bill.

I broke a leg, when I fell off the wagon, 
Ex-wife hit the jackpot, now she’s out braggin’ .

 
[Bridge]
So here's to the birds, pigs, horses, chickens, and the bill.
All dirty animals, plus two more birds with one stone, just for the thrill. 

[Outro]
The moral of the story? There isn’t one, you see, 
'cause if you like idioms, you’re an idiot. . . like me.

The moral of the story?  There isn’t one. . . .
'cause if you like idioms, you’re an idiot. . . like me.
