Biography:
Damien Dempsey (born 1975 in Donaghmede, Dublin) is an Irish singer and songwriter who mixes traditional Irish folk with contemporary lyrics to deliver social commentary on the positive and negative aspects arising from Ireland's Celtic Tiger society. He sings in English, and to a lesser extent in Irish.
Dempsey's earliest musical influences were the post-pub singsongs that his parents used to have at their home when he was a toddler. Good, bad or indifferent, everyone had to sing.

G C
Factories, Trains and houses,
D
Playground of my youth,
C D
The place that left me mute,
Em D C
Till I threw back my shoulders
G C
Factories, Trains and houses,
D
The place that makes some strong,
C D
And hurries you along,
Em D C
Some grow old very quick there
G C
No star ever played the Cellar Bar,
D
Glass and bottle fights,
C D
We saw some crazy nights,
Em D C
But then fight do excite you
G C
I'm awoken by a....
D
Handbraked turn outside,
C D
I knew lads who died,
Em D C
That sound chills me inside still
C Em D
Hoath junction could take you away,
C Em D
In the hayfeilds we'd squander the day,
C Em D
From the corner of Holywell road
Em D C
See the sunset over St. Donaghs,
Em D C
See the sunset over us all,
Em D C
See the sunset over St. Donaghs
Some boys want to get me,
Because I hit one back,
I still can hear the crack,
of his head on the concrete
Doin' drugs and drinking,
Makes you so depressed,
Then you think you're blessed,
When you're dropping a tablet
Troubled years and fighting,
Makes you sad you know,
And mammy had to go,
Sure it's best in the long run
Hoath junction could take you away,
In the hayfeilds we'd squander the day,
From the corner of Holywell road,
See the sunset over St. Donaghs,
See the sunset over us all,
See the sunset over St. Donaghs,
See the sunset over the world
