a son longing for a relationship with his father that he never had

Lyrics

Oh Tommy, the life long pugalist
ring rough he wealded an iron fist
for to feel , could not exist
Oh Tommy, what of the wife what of the kids
lifes in bits ,boy its on the skids
dont mean a thing wheen your always pissed
oh Tommy, the cronies slap your back
lend them money dont expect it back
forget about this ,forget about that
Oh Tommy the fighting working one
who once was but has now become
but a shadow of a former man

ch. barrels cast in glass
served the beer en masse
to the arrogant ,the lonley and the working class
Daddy please come home,Mummys all alone
except for debters knocking daily
taking blood from stone

Oh Tommy, I think its all so sad
saw the man but I needed the dad
I realy do miss what I never had
Oh tommy, whats to forgive whats to forget
enter hell with my regrets
these i'll trade for happiness

ch
