Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro) (Fast tempo – stomping boots, clapping rhythm. Fiddle riff intro. Crowd noise under fade-in. Irish fiddle tearing through a bright reel. Bodhrán kicks in. Male voices humming low.) (Verse 1) Boots hit the timber like a war drum call Rain on the cobbles, but we don’t feel the fall Workweek’s weight left out in the street Tonight we answer to a bodhrán beat Coins on the counter, sweat on the glass Pay now, worry later, let the daylight pass The devil’s in the details, but we don’t care We drown him in stout and a smoky air (Chorus) Sing it loud, forget it tomorrow Raise that glass and drown your sorrow If the sun comes up with a price to pay We’ll curse it then — but not today Sing it loud till the rafters shake Laugh so hard that the old bar breaks No regrets when the morning swallows Sing it loud, forget it tomorrow (Verse 2) Old Mick’s shouting ‘bout ‘84 Swears he knocked a giant to the floor None of it’s true but we cheer the lie Truth don’t matter when the pints run high Fiddle screams like a rebel cry Bagpipes blaze and the sparks fly Someone’s crying, someone’s free Someone’s dancing on table three (Chorus) Sing it loud, forget it tomorrow Raise that glass and drown your sorrow If the sun comes up with a price to pay We’ll curse it then — but not today Sing it loud till the rafters shake Laugh so hard that the old bar breaks No regrets when the morning swallows Sing it loud, forget it tomorrow (Instrumental Break) (Blazing bagpipes take melody. Fiddle answers. Crowd stomping. Choir chanting “HEY! HEY!”) (Verse 3) Broken heart? Leave it at the door We’ve buried worse on this pub floor Tears taste sweet when mixed with rye We toast the ones who said goodbye Barmaid smiling like she knows This is how the healing goes Three chords loud and twice as fast Make this wild night forever last (Chorus) Sing it loud, forget it tomorrow Raise that glass and drown your sorrow If the sun comes up with a price to pay We’ll curse it then — but not today Sing it loud till the rafters shake Laugh so hard that the old bar breaks No regrets when the morning swallows Sing it loud, forget it tomorrow (Bridge- Half-time feel) When the lights come on and the chairs stack high And the truth creeps back with the morning sky We’ll tip our hats to the damage done And swear next week we’ll outrun the sun (Male choir low harmony:) “Forget it tomorrow… tomorrow…” (Verse 4) Streetlights flicker, voices crack But nobody’s ready to turn back Arms around shoulders, off-key choir Ash and smoke and lungs on fire (Final Chorus- Double Time, Choir Roaring) Sing it loud, forget it tomorrow Raise that glass and drown your sorrow If the sun comes up with a price to pay We’ll curse it then — but not today Sing it loud till the rafters shake Laugh so hard that the old bar breaks No regrets when the morning swallows Sing it loud, forget it tomorrow (Outro) (Bagpipes sustained. Fiddle trills. Crowd chanting chorus line repeatedly fading out.)
