one for the road & seamus moore - the transit van lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
margaret thatcher talking on tv
looks so sincere as she says to me
“there’d be no unemployment if
you all used a bit of initiative”

[chorus]
i was on the dole, i was broke and bored
says “aye, i’ll take her at her word”
got a loan from a credit union man
and i bought myself a transit van

[verse 2]
my next step up the ladder now
i bought myself an old fat sow
crossed the border quite legally
collected the common market subsidy

[chorus]
signed all the forms, handed back the pen
smugglеd the sow back home again
ten timеs a day i’d work this plan
myself, the sow and the transit van

[verse 3]
travel sickness in the sow picked up
says “aye, it’s time to diversify”
took all my money from the biscuit tin
filled the van to the roof with whiskey and gin
[chorus]
round the south, my wares i’d sell
in the public houses and hotels
never was a guard or a customs man
with his nose inside the transit van

[verse 4]
festivals, fleadhs and fairs
if the craic was good you’d find me there
at all big matches in croke park
i danced with springsteen in the dark

[chorus]
i fought with the tinkers in ballinasloe
i danced in the streets around listowel
mothers had their daughters warned
keep well away from the transit van

[verse 5]
it being lent and the drink trade slow
i changed to carrying video
while on the road to ballybay
met a customs roadblock on my way

[chorus]
faced the border, i got her turned
the engine roared and the tyres spun
five patrol cars fully manned
were in hot pursuit of the transit van
[verse 6]
through clontibret i did go
i was heading for the county mayo
around the corner, i hit a dog
went over a ditch, landed in the bog

[chorus]
sat on a bank, watched all i owned
sinking in a bog hole like a stone
she was lying on the roof, the wheels still turning
the stereo playing one for the road

[verse 7]
now i’m back where i first began
no job, no money, but i’ve a plan
there’s a girl down in castlebar
she can hold my future in her hand

[chorus]
she doesn’t look like a film star
but she’s been telling me about her da
he has no property or land
but he has two sows and a transit van

[outro]
the queen of england drove a rolls_royce car
her son charlie drives a jaguar
but when the pope came to ireland
(like myself, and one for the road)
he drove around in a transit van (beep_beep, beep_beep)
one, two, three, hey
