As I drove out toward Dublin
On a warm September day
I stopped for a cold beer
At a smokey pub in Bray
I spied a pretty waitress, standing with a tray
She could not believe her ears, when she heard me say
Waitress, oh waitress, come sit on my face
Eating ain't cheating, it's no disgrace
Bring me a cold beer, make it a case
Waitress, oh waitress, sit on my face
Walked over to the jukebox, I was feeling kind of mean
The waittress said "hey stupid, that's a cigarette machine"
I turned to the waitress, who was standing by the bar,
"If that ain't a jukebox honey you can smoke my cigar."
Waitress, oh waitress, come sit on my face
Eating ain't cheating, it's no disgrace
Bring me a cold beer, make it a case
Waitress, oh waitress, sit on my face
Yes I come from Wicklow, Wicklow is my home
And I'm on my way to Dublin and I'm feeling so alone
I got me a job playing guitar, I play a bit on TV
Put down your tray, get your pay, come sing along with me
All aboard, this face leaves in 5 minutes
The Popes sono un gruppo musicale irlandese formatosi attorno alla figura di Shane MacGowan, frontman storico dei The Pogues. La band fonde elementi di rock, folk tradizionale irlandese e punk, creando un sound unico e riconoscibile. MacGowan, noto per la sua voce potente e le sue testi poetiche spesso dark, ha portato avanti il suo percorso musicale con i The Popes dopo lo scioglimento dei Pogues nel 1996. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo si ricordano "The Ballad of Shane MacGowan", "I'm a Man You Don't Want to Meet" e "The Irish Rover". Sebbene non abbiano raggiunto la stessa fama dei Pogues, The Popes hanno mantenuto una fedele base di fan grazie alla loro musica autentica e al carisma di MacGowan.
