Distant Voices, Still Lives Page #3

It's scarlatina, love.

Scarlatina.

Where's our Tony, mom?

Why can't I come in, Dad?

There's no place for you here.

Frig off!

- Can I stay here Gran?

- You can have the sofa

If I should die before I wake

pray the Lord my soul to take

God bless Mother, God bless Father,

and keep them safe

If you look into a mirror after midnight...

...you'll see the devil.

Oh, when Irish eyes are smiling

All the world is bright and gay

In the lilt of Irish laughter

When Irish hearts are happy

When Irish hearts are happy

All the world is bright and gay

In the lilt...

...of Irish laughter

When Irish hearts are happy

R- A-G-M-O-P-P-P.

Ragmop!

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight. Ragmop!

God!

Isn't it hot?

I'm sweating past myself.

Oh, here's Red.

Oh, God, that's all I need.

Aw, he's harmless.

Hi, Mick.

Die!

Oh, what you're throwing away.

God help him, the poor gobshite.

Do you remember Formby?

And that tent?

Oh, cor blimey.

- You did

I never

- You did.

- I never.

You did fart!

Uh...

I never.

- I thought you'd killed her, you know, Micky.

- I know. So did I.

When I think about it,

I was a real cow with that mallet, wasn't I?

- Do you ever see Jingles?

- No.

Not since she married Les.

'S wonderful!

'S marvellous!

Jingles, you came!

They tried to sell us egg foo yung!

- So, how are you, kid?

- Smashing.

- Are you still married?

- Oh, God, yeah.

Two kids and a radiogram to support.

- You haven't altered, Ei. Still not a pick on you.

- Still eight stone soaking wet.

- How do you do it?

- Witchcraft!

- You're hooking with Mick.

- Oh Jingles I'm in a worse state than Russia

- Do you know who I saw in The Swan

last week? - No. - Jackie McGorrie

Remember when...

Cos I love you that's why

Whoa, it's Saturday

That's why.

Yeah, it's Saturday

Cos I love you that's why

Oh, kiss me, you fool

That's why

That's him.

Bet he's come in a taxi.

Well, you know these seamen.

Money's no object.

I've signed myself out of hospital.

I've walked home.

He's gone.

My Tommy's gone.

Won't you say ta-ra, Dad?

I'm only going for the season.

Do you know what?

If I ever get a gun,

I'll blow your bleedin' brains out.

Ta-ra, Mom!

Bye, love!

Don't forget to write, now, will you?

Have a ciggie, kid.

I put a nickel in the telephone

To dial my baby's number

Got a brr-brr-brr-brr busy line

Pwllheli, here we come!

Yes, please.

What would you like to order, sir?

Please come home, Ei

Your dad's really ill.

One?

OK.

East is east and west is west

And the wrong one I have chose

Let's go where they keep on wearin'

Those rings and things and buttons and bows

Flowers and frills and buttons and bows
