O stony grey soil of Tallaght
The laugh from my love you thieved
You took the gay child of my passion
And gave me your clod-conceived
You clogged the feet of my boyhood
And I believed that my stumble
Had the poise and stride of Ronaldo
And his voice my thick tongued mumble.
You told me the Hoops were immortal!
O green pond-life conquering Hoops!
The Woodies DIY jersey stained, your Twigg blunted
In the half finished football field on the brow of the hill.
You sang on the steaming dunghills outside the Maldron
A song of cowards’ brood
You perfumed my clothes with weasel itch,
You fed me on swinish food.
You flung a council pitch on my vision
Of beauty, love and truth.
O stony grey soil of Tallaght
You burgled my bank of youth!
