SOME BALDY PRICK BORED IN HIS BEDROOM IN HIS MAMMY HOUSE. sthink he just made this shit up

[Just1Spark]

Well done!

[Jackcreambun]

Never knew the Decemberists wrote a song about Ireland. Sadly missed them when they played Vicar street in Dublin last March, fingers crossed they'll be back.

ps. I aplosogise for my fellow Irishmen whom are making an arse of themselves in the comments. We aren't all like that :P

[byrnec]

This is a really good cover and thanks for the chords!

(I don't believe this is a pro-unionist or pro-republican song.)

[AbiElectric]

Oh man your comment section has been ruined by various ignoramuses. Nice cover anywayss

[Bigo19921]

[oopziesx3]

this song is so creepy but i love the instrumental

[stupreme]

[InsomniacGoose]

Brilliant. Thank you for all the effort that must've gone in to this, much appreciated.

[MissyMoment]

.

This is fucking brilliant.

Your voice gives me goosebumps.

[RockyHater]

FUCK THE IRA THEY BOMB WE CUT NO SURRENDER

[calyban]

@RockyHater use havnt got the brains to bomb or the balls driving around picking up innocent people real fucking brave men. why didnt they go pick up some ra men?

no balls thats why typical snout.

[RockyHater]

@calyban na we leave that to our british troops the one's that you say the IRA are at war with :) yas cant compete agents our troops or our loyalist LOL still BRITISH we win :)

[Left4Courtney]

You have really great vocals for this song! Love it!

[moonlightpath0012]

well done! i really like that you used a classical

[mssirois]

I had no idea the Butchers referenced in this song were real until I saw these posts. I'll have to read up on that.

Regardless, I think premise of a lullaby written with terrifying lyrics is ironic and pretty amusing. I imagine myself as a little kid with my blankets pulled up around my head, afraid of robbers and psychos.

This guy does the song justice, and I'm grateful he posted the tabs. My only suggestion is that he sing with more confidence; get more air behind your voice. Good job!

[zebrahead32]

if i saw this gimp singing this i'd smash his guitare over his head,mudering scum

[JimFromBelfast]

do you really do you want to promote this song...lenny murphy was a sociopath, when you sing about them being a "young boy" and "we where all the same" this is shit. it is commonly known that lenny murphy from a young age surrouned himself with people so he could bully and intimidate people...the shankill butchers struggle was not a political one just pure serial killing, this is proven with them murdering and toturing innocent members of the catholic and protestant community.

[Jerith03]

i think it's pretty obvious that this song isn't glorifying the butchers in anyway. it's written from the catholic perspective.

[bradleymax09]

good voice pity bout the song, i take it the song is about the murdering torturing cowardly bastards led by mass murderer lenny murphy.

[MrRadek]

I want to learn this one badly. Thanks.

[smithy2402]

And now its time to punish the Protestants for their wicked past!...

[weesox1690]

lol anytime taig.

[ThestewLad]

the catholic church has already punished protestants by killing roughly 500 million protestants over the years no wander protestants are so angry.....we don't lie down anymore just like israel doesn't lie down....we get up and defend our people and country like every other nation... No surrender

[smithy2402]

There shouldn't be a song about...these Red Eyed Murderous Bastards

The Shankill Butchers were nothing but a gang of little cowards who preyed on helpless and lone victims

They were set up by British Security Forces...to intimidate and instill fear in the Catholic Community...It was Britain that created and allowed their reign of terror

These monsters could only have come from the wicked Protestant Community...and Irish Catholics will never forget or forgive these Bastards...UP THE IRA

[Uip4py111]

sure, except that the Butchers killed protestants too

[annoyingasfcuk]

Fuck off smithy you clueless cunt.

[Jerith03]

i don't think that's exactly what the butchers were doing. killing civilians and even some protestants isn't exactly the bold heroic things you're mentioning.

[mangebag]

@ThestewLad  KNOW SURENNDER lol

[FatKidWithAsthma]

Fantastic! Better than the original.
