Black Coddle

It's four in the morning
And I'm still awake
The city is sleeping
It's coiled like a snake
Our lady of Dublin
Looks down on us all
Horatio Nelson's world
Is starting to fall
It's starting to fall
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
If god doesn't get you the devil must
The black soot that gathers and makes a crust
On the coddle that sits on the fire
Ten to a room in a tenement flat
The white lady's burnt face
And the scurry of rats
Oh black coddle is in my soul
My mind goes walking down dark streets
Whose names have all changed
Sackville to O Connell
Cathal Brugha from Gregg Lane
Where some fought for freedom
And some gave up their lives
They were poets and teachers
Shopkeepers, husbands and wives
But why did they die?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
If God doesn't get you the devil must
The black soot that gathers and makes a crust
On the coddle that sits on the fire
Leaving in thousands
On boats and on planes
When the city that bore you
Now turns you away
Oh black coddle is in my soul
And when I open my eyes
It's there in the face
Of the pale sun that's trying to rise
And the freedom they died for
That they cherished and prayed
To the church and the bankers
We gave it away
But we'll win it someday
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
If God doesn't get you the devil must
The black soot that gathers and makes a crust
On the coddle that sits on the fire
Some day we'll take care of the ones on the streets
Sheltering in doorways and trying to sleep
Oh black coddle is in my soul
Oh black coddle is in my soul
