PADDY MURPHY, THE OLDE RED LION, & THE MARCH OF TIME
The Olde Red Lion at Hackbridge, where Paddy Murphy supped When he was’nt “slunging” in The Skinners’ Arms;
The Queen’s Head, Mill Green Road, and across Mill Green, The Goat, These taverns had their individual charms.
But the march of time brings changes, not usually for the best, The “Skinners’” now is called “The Hungry Horse”; But fret you not dear Paddy, lie peaceful at your rest, “Red Lion” and “Queen’s Head” remain, of course.
Paddy was Head Stockman on Beddington muck farm, By day he tended heifers by the score; But opening time would find him, a mile from beastly harm, Striding purposefully through the Lion’s door.
Bottled Guinness was his tipple, how he could slunge them back, By eight o’clock he was a trifle merry; And when first bell was sounded our Murph seemed quite laid back. With nose and cheeks aglow just like a cherry.
Yes, bottled Guinness was his balm, bottled Guinness was his Tipple, He could pour them down in steady, deadly flow; But when last bell was sounded he barelo caused a ripple, For Paddy knew it now was time to go. -
Pipettled
Yes, bottled Guinness was his tipple, bottled Guinness was his balm, It gave him solace as he homeward strode The stony railway bridge, on Croydon Sewage Farm, To his lonely cottage on the The Old Mile Road.
Now Paddy’s passed away, like many of his peers, Rough working men, though civil in their way; Yes, the march of time brings changes, and that’s the price we pay FOR THE UNRELENTING PASSING OF THE YEARS.
The Ides of March
the Ides of March
marched down the street
with all the Ides upon them
they then marched up the street again
and snow balls rained upon them
said one Ide to another
I’ve had many a gig for sure
but never one which rained snowballs
not sure I can take much more
now now said his companion
you are made of sterner stuff
those balls are melting snowflakes
ya just being caressed with white fluff!
Oh really said HIS companion
then how come me hair’s turned white?
and me Ides of March will need a starch
this is not working out alright!
Now looky here said first companion
we’ve marched for many Rome mile
and every road has been straight forthwith
now lets see an Ides like smile
It’s alright for yea said ‘whittie’
me ears are turning blue
I thought we were idling into March
and we’d stop off for a brew?
anyone like to take the reigns and continue the march?

But the late, great, Freddie Mercury said it all, ’ You can’t live forever !’
Sorry DM, Freddie said “Who wants to live Forever”, not nit picking, just setting the record straight, the actual phrase is important.

never owned a straight record in my life they’ve all been round! even the new cd disc are round \i wonder why why oh why why can’t they be square for a while> - I was watching a doco on that crazy usa girl star who went a bit crazy and her dad was given complete control over her entire assets for years and years - she still seems a bit crazy despite getting them all back again and her boys are reluctant to spend a lot of time with her - my simple assess would be 'never grown up properly - got a brain of a 5 yr old permanently and needs to be treated as such - however she doesn’t seem to have any minors around her to destroy their lives which was the issue with her boys heh? you know of who I speak? then there was whitney houston another basket case a died from drugs in a bath heh? - they just can’t handle fame heh? - i wish someone would give me fame - and the money - would hide away for long periods and avoid limelights!!
Sorry Gums ya can’t get mega bucks for hiding away youf gotta give the public what they want, as Freddie said “The show must go on”.
Some folks want paying for living a life in the public eye, costs the rest an arm and a leg.
hic hic hic - now if I can just stand up for a mo…oops down again!..
@spitfire , Yeah,you’re right spitty. But lve been “doing it my way” for so long
now that l like it better ??
I even sang it that way at me bruvs wake ! 
Yep DM, sometimes stories are best taken to the Grave.
and some stories are so grave they need taking to LS [part2]
Structures, who needs them? Seen it in action, the choice of Chairman at the Town Criers AGM was a done deal, it was “All over bar the Shouting”. 
they were shouting at the bar you say - not good form old chappy not good form - shouting in the toiletees is ok imo love those echos - we could do a good take for a song in there! well JL and PMc used to do it in the old days !! no not shouting - singing! eh those were the days my friend we thought they’d never end didn’t we Jem - Jem Jem where’s jem gone not on another bloody holiday into the hills and dales - well \i suppose a break from Dublin is often needed - it certainly was a busy place last time \i was there.
can see little green spitties head pokin up now and again - or is that an irish gremlin past closin time?
