***THE SNAKE WITH EYES OF GARNET - by Shane MacGowan
from the album "The Snake"
The Snake With Eyes Of Garnet - as performed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes
Last Cnight as I lay Amdreaming
My Cway across the Amsea
James CMangan brought me Amcomfort
With laudFnum and Cpoitin
He flew me back to AmDublin
In C18Am19
CTo a public exeAmcution
Being Fheld on Stephen's CGreen
The Cyoung man on the Amplatform
Held his Chead up and he did Amsing
Then he wChispered hard into my Amear
As he Fhanded me this Cring
If you Cmiss me on the Amharbour
For the Cboat, it leaves at Amthree
Take this Csnake with eyes of Amgarnet
My Fmother gave to Cme!
This snake cannot be captured
This snake cannot be tied
This snake cannot be tortured, or
Hung or crucified
It came down through the ages
It belongs to you and me
So pass it on and pass it on
'Till all mankind is free
If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me"
He swung, his face went purple
A roar came from the crowd
But Mangan laughed and pushed me
And we got back on the cloud
He dropped me off in London
Back in this dying land
But my eyes were filled with wonder
At the ring still in my hand
If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me!
And if you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me!
