Damien Dempsey

Factories, Trains and houses,
Playground of my youth,
The place that left me mute,
Till I threw back my shoulders
Factories, Trains and houses,
The place that makes some strong,
And hurries you along,
Some grow old very quick there
No star ever played the Cellar Bar,
Glass and bottle fights,
We saw some crazy nights,
But then fight do excite you
I'm awoken by a....
Handbraked turn outside,
I knew lads who died,
That sound chills me inside still
Hoath junction could take you away,
In the hayfeilds we'd squander the day,
From the corner of Holywell road
See the sunset over St. Donaghs,
See the sunset over us all,
See the sunset over St. Donaghs
Some boys want to get me,
Because I hit one back,
I still can hear the crack,
of his head on the concrete
Doin' drugs and drinking,
Makes you so depressed,
Then you think you're blessed,
When you're dropping a tablet
Troubled years and fighting,
Makes you sad you know,
And mammy had to go,
Sure it's best in the long run
Hoath junction could take you away,
In the hayfeilds we'd squander the day,
From the corner of Holywell road,
See the sunset over St. Donaghs,
See the sunset over us all,
See the sunset over St. Donaghs,
See the sunset over the world
