Lyrics The Snake With The Eyes Of Garnet - Shane MacGowan & The Popes
Last
night
as
I
lay
dreaming
My
way
across
the
sea
James
Mangan
brought
me
comfort
With
laudanum
and
poitin
He
flew
me
back
to
Dublin
in
1819
To
a
public
execution
Being
held
on
Stephen's
Green
The
young
man
on
the
platform
Held
his
head
up
and
he
did
sing
Then
he
whispered
hard
into
my
ear
As
he
handed
me
this
ring
If
you
miss
me
on
the
harbor
For
the
boat,
it
leaves
at
three
Take
this
snake
with
eyes
of
garnet
My
mother
gave
to
me
This
snake
cannot
be
captured
This
snake
cannot
be
tied
This
snake
cannot
be
tortured
Or
hung,
or
crucified
It
came
down
through
the
ages
It
belongs
to
you
and
me
So
pass
it
on,
and
pass
it
on
'Til
all
mankind
is
free
If
you
miss
me
on
the
harbor
For
the
boat,
it
leaves
at
three
Take
this
snake
with
eyes
of
garnet
My
mother
gave
to
me
He
swung,
his
face
went
purple
A
roar
came
from
the
crowd
But
Mangan
laughed
and
pushed
me
And
we
got
back
on
the
cloud
He
dropped
me
off
in
London
Back
in
this
dying
land
But
my
eyes
were
filled
with
wonder
At
the
ring
still
in
my
hand
If
you
miss
me
on
the
harbor
For
the
boat,
it
leaves
at
three
Take
this
snake
with
eyes
of
garnet
My
mother
gave
to
me
If
you
miss
me
on
the
harbor
For
the
boat,
it
leaves
at
three
Take
this
snake
with
eyes
of
garnet
My
mother
gave
to
me
