From: Rapparee I'd like the lyrics to "When the breaker starts up full time" as sung by Mick Moloney et al. on the "Far From The Shamrock Shore" album." The other postings here MC don't seem to be the same. (It's stuck in my head and driving me nuts!) |

You can only imagine what it's like to be sick, waiting half-awake and trying to decide whether or not you're going to throw up, and have the part about "put Seamus in pants" running through your head. Could be worse -- in the beginning it was "The Mulligan Guard." My illnesses can be...odd. And no, I wasn't feverish. |
