lyrics

The war god of Lifford's infantry march to Glack
Glack has a dog track
Can you see the faerie in the hawthorn?
That grow on the road down in Blanket Nook
Take a look
They have a dog that the faerie folk want to race
Irish rocks are falling from deep outer space
Irish rocks in Glack sleep, sleep beneath the lake
Omagh man, stay in your caravan
The faerie folk have a dog they want to race
Down on the track in Glack
The war god reveals his hound
His royal guard they lead the dog into the racing cage
Thousands they wait for a single shot to ring out from the track
And the dogs are out
And the race is close
But first over the line, by a country mile is the faerie ghost dog from the bog
The war god of Lifford's infantry march from Glack
To chop down a hawthorn tree and burn it black
His infantry turn to brambles and fall around his feet
And the war god of Lifford turned into an MP3
That the faerie folk keep on a hard drive buried under a hawthorn tree
Omagh man, stay in your caravan

A Litany of Failures: Volume III
by Litany Of Failures

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Greyhound Race”

Junk Drawer lead the pack, swerving into unsettling territory - I love this band's sheer unpredictability. I remember their gig at Output where they followed an excellent set by The Bonk. These guys are the cat's pyjamas! Ursula's Crow
