Rebels Of The Sacred Heart Lyrics

    Now I`m aimin' for heaven
    But probably wind up down in hell
    Where upon this alter I will hang my guilt ridden head
    But it`s time I`ll take before I begin
    Three sheets to the wind, Three sheets to the wind
    Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
    Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
    We`re the rebels of the sacred heart
    I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
    We`re the rebels of the sacred heart

    Terrified of the open road
    Yeah, where it leads ya never know
    But rest assured he`ll be on you back
    Yeah, the Holy Ghost through his tounges in black
    As th band dog howls and the young girl cries
    The blessed virgin in her proud dad`s eye
    The albatross hangin' round your neck
    Is the cross you bare for your sins he bleeds
    Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
    Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
    We`re the rebels of the sacred heart

    Genuflect all you refugees who fled the land
    Now on guilt you kneel
    And say a prayer for those left behind
    From beyond the pale to the Northern sky
    So you saved your shillins and your last six pence
    Cause in God`s name they built a barbed wire fence
    Be glad you sailed for a better day
    But don`t forget there`ll be hell to pay
    Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
    Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
    We`re the rebels of the sacred heart
    I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
    We`re the rebels of the sacred heart

    Reserrection no protection all things life must be
    Ah no ball or chain no prison shall keep
    We`re the rebels of the sacred heart

    Now bless me father for I have sinned
    But it`s the same old story again and again and again
    Ah well, such is the bread of an everyday life
    From mornin' to noon to this shadowless-night
    Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
    Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
    We`re the rebels of the sacred heart
    I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
    We`re the rebels of the sacred heart
