(c)yes the world has (g) gone up in (c)smoke
you may laugh but (f) it’s no (c)joke

yes the world it has (g) gone up in (c) smoke
verse
(c) now they closed down (g) Gatwick and (c) Heathrow
and now there is (f) no where for me to (c) go
even (f) if you have the (c) cash you can’t beat the ash
yes the world it has (g) gone up in (c) smoke
chorus
we can put a man on the moon
but next we’ll have to travel by balloon
but if you can get a ferry sit down have drink and be merry
yes the world it has gone up in smoke
chorus
well, how are we supposed to travel
it’s a mystery we have yet to unravel
with the ash we can’t see clearly, so i think we need o’leary
yes the world has gone up in smoke
chorus
to Iceland i once went
and there some money i spent
on frozen pizza’s bangers and mash but i never saw no ash
yes the world has gone up in smoke
chorus
Up In Smoke Lyrics And Guitar Chords By Mick Higgins
This is Mick's take on the volcano that erupted in Iceland 15 April 2010 and the effect it had on the general public with the canceling of thousands of aircraft flights around Europe.
(g)in our search for the (c) black gold called (d)oil
(g)how much of the (c) earth will we (d)spoil
(c)we dig holes so (d)deep, (c)where the fish live and (d)sleep
in our (c)search for the (d)black gold called (g)oil
chorus
(g)we’ll burn a big (c )hole in the (d)sky
(g)we’ll poison all the (c)fish till they (d)die
(c)we will not be (d )told, we still (c)burn the black (d)gold
(c)the black gold (d) we call (g)oil
chorus
oh how much more can this earth take
when her skin we puncture and bleed
her crust we break, her body we rape
in our search for the black gold called oil
chorus
i wonder what will be her reply
will she throw lava up to the sky
or will she shudder and shake
until she starts to quake from
from our search for the black gold called oil.
chorus
will her tears be tsunami's so high
that thousands of people will die
will she cover the land, with waters that expand
while we burn the black gold called oil
The Irish In Malta Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords.
Written and recorded by Mick Higgins
[G]We are the [D]Irish living in[G] Malta
we sing [C]cead mile [G]failte
We’re [C]out here for the [G]craic,
we’re [C]never going back
We’re the [G]Irish [C]living in[G] Malta
Well the craic is fun and cheer
And the beer is very cheap out here
So come in take of your hat there’s
a welcome on the mat
From Irish living in Malta
We pray everyday to st, Patrick
Because most of us are geriatric
On our hips we take a chance,
when we do riverdance
We’re Irish living in Malta
Out here there no recession
And life’s just one long session,
Raise your glass and say slainte ,
sing if you want to
We’re Irish living in Malta
Chorus
No tribunals or scandals
We wear shorts and sandals
Cos over here we never get snow
To the beach we go
Alive, alive, oh
With a bottle of wine,
and our sun cream in tow.
To the beach we go alive, alive oh
With a bottle of wine,
and our sun cream in tow.

(C)My love is in (G)love with a (C)computer.
I don’t know (F)what I’m gonna (C) do with her.
She used to run her (F) fingers through my (C)hair.
Now all she needs is software.
(C)Oh my love is in (G)love with a (C)computer.
There was a time in our house.
When I was her special mickey mouse.
Now she likes it quick, with just little two clicks.
Oh my love is in love with a computer.
Now I'm beginning to get scared,
because she's started
talking about new hardware.
She gazes lovingly as the screen flickers
I dream of when she wore French knickers.
Oh my love is in love with a computer.
Oh I just want to see her boobs.
But she's always busy with Facebook and YouTube.
Now she's talking wire free.
I think she wants to castrate me.
Oh my love is in love with a computer.
We used to kiss and play all night.
Now talks about gigs and megabytes
I think of what used to be as she plugs in her usb.
Oh my love is in love with a computer.
Now my life's become a living hell.
All talks about is Windows 7 and Excel.
Zip folders and files, she sits so long she's going to get piles.
Oh my love is in love with a computer.
So I went to see my friend Fred.
I said Fred, how can I get my love back to bed.
With a look that was sort of spiritual.
He said, I think the only way is virtual.
Oh my love is in love with a computer.
I think I'm gonna to have to shoot her.
(c) here’s to Ruth the loveliest (am) rose,
born (f) where the river Shannon (g) flows,
(c) raised by the Boyne’s flowing (am) streams,
a rose to (f) carry German dreams. (g)
(am) there’s been a rose so (f) fine
as the (am) rose from the river Rhine. (g)
her (am) smile lights up every (f) where
the German (am) rose with the golden (g) hair.
from tara’s hill (c) to Germany (am)
to the (f) lovely vale of (g) Tralee
no finer (c) rose will you ever (am) see

(c) here’s to Ruth the loveliest (am) rose,
born (f) where the river Shannon (g) flows,

a rose to (f) carry German dreams. (g)
(am) eyes green as the emerald (f) isle
their (am) sparkle can be seen (g) miles
(am) shining near and (f) far
brighter (am) than the brightest (g) stars.
the (c) pale moon shining on the (am) vale,
billowing (f) sails on Tralee (g) bay,
these (c) sight s just can’nt (am) compare
to the German (f) rose, with the golden (g) hair.
(c) here’s to ruth the loveliest (am) rose,
born (f) where the river Shannon (g) flows,
(c) raised by the Boyne’s flowing (am) streams,
a rose to (f) carry German dreams. (g)
