[First part is a poem written by Brendan Kennelly and it is called "Clearing A Space".] [The song was written by Bono and Simon Carmody, and performed by Ronnie Drew.]
I met her up on Leeson Street of a Tuesday afternoon In Summer's fallen colours, sulking back to school I asked her would she linger, I asked her would she stay Would she keep a man in company, drinking in the day?
Drinking, Drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, Drinking We'll go drinking in the day
She was almost a woman, she was going on sixteen She asked me to go walking, In Saint Stephen's Green She said I love the sunshine, and to hear the children play. But I won't be distracted when I'm drinking in the day.
With her flashing eyes and milk white lies she looked like a song Like the ghost of a woman that first made me go wrong She said I'll have a drink with you I said you'll have to pay For a comprehensive education Drinking in the day
Drinking, Drinking Drinking and not thinking Drinking, Drinking We'll go drinking in the day
If her mother could have seen us on that bright November day Botticelli and his angel perambulating Ormand Quay A drunken blessed virgin, me rhetorious and gay Bestowing ancient wisdom as to what made me this way
Deny your friends and family To serve you must betray Break and enter heaven S teal but never save Squander every penny Empty every heart Travel every darkened road Never finish what you start Always talk to strangers Make love with whom you may For God will find good company for your drinking in the day
Drinking, drinking Drinking and not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day
So spend your youth on poetry, and spend your cash at play Each line upon my face is for a girl who went away A kiss, a song, are fleeting things and fame will always stray So I'll tell the truth, the best spent youth, is the one you give away
Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day
Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day
Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day
Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day
Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day
Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking...
