Bless me, Father, for I have sinned
It's been a week since my last confession
A good sinner can get into a lot of mischief in a week. I'm listening
I swore at my sister once or twice
Said some pretty bad words, I suppose
Is that all?
And I thought about killing my supervisor
A number of times, God knows
Now you're talking
And I slept through your sermon, sorry, Father
I don't know where I've been
The way that my mind keeps wandering, Father
It's a sin
Dear Father, forgive this poor lonely sinner, Alfie Byrne
(Sung)
He thinks about Robbie all the time
And there's nobody he can tell
I cheated the Dublin Bus Company by letting a girl ride for free
And he's struggling with his Catholic guilt
And he's certain he's bound for hell
And I led someone to believe he had a leading
Role when really it's only a supporting one
And he feels like his heart is bursting, Father
How can his life begin?
Another day's going by him, Father
It's a sin
It's a sin
When there's music like nothing you've heard
If you know the right jukebox to play
There are glasses to raise in the praise
Of surviving the day
But you're here in the dark, in a little box
With a fellow who might know less than you
Then you'll hurry home and lock the locks
Another box to climb into
For God's sake, man, tell him. Then we'll have a pint
Is that all, my son?
There's one other thing you ought to know
I've been trying to find the words
And what would that be?
I... well, I... no
(Sung)
That's all I have to say
ย
Say five Hail Marys, two Our Fathers, and next time don't
Take so much time telling me the same old sins, Alfie Byrne
