Quiz: Can you finish these Irish lyrics?

Test yourself.

WE LOVE AN auld song here in Ireland.

But how well can you remember these lyrics?

"I say, hey boy, sittin' in your tree/ Mommy always wants you to come for tea"
Don't be shy, come down from the sky
Don't be shy, straighten up your tie

Don't be shy, we can get by
Don't be shy, we can fly
"You're on the road But you've got no destination You're in the mud..."
In the mire of anticipation
In red hot participation

In the maze of her imagination
And there's fires burning in your station
"Gaeil iad féin is ní Frainc ná Spáinnigh..."
Ag fógairt fáin ar Ghallaibh.
Is tú díolta leis na Gallaibh

Is cuirfidh siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh
"Clouds a drifting across the moon Cats a prowling on their beat..."
Spring's a girl in the street at night
I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Shining steel tempered in the fire
"Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometime I'm overcome thinking about..."
Making love in the green grass, behind the stadium
Slipping and a-sliding, all along the waterfall

Skipping and a-jumping, in the misty morning fog
You my brown-eyed girl
"Have heart my dear..."
We don't have time for that
As if you have a choice

And we'll run for our lives
We're bound to be afraid
"Be my friend, but secretly like me..."
We can explore these hills if that's what you want to do
I wanna catch you staring, and make you you go all red

I love the way your hair falls in the summer
You play with my hair like theres no other
"Come on and give me your heart..."
Come on let's make a stand
Write it on the back of my hand

Write it on the back of her hand
Let's not put our heads in the sand
"Now we go steady to the pictures..."
My father says I'm living in a trance
I can't wait to have my dance

I always get chocolate stains on my pants
I just want a chance
"I'm dancing the seven veils..."
Soon I can give you my heart
See how the black moon fades

Dragging it back to the start
Want you to pick up my scarf

    Adults should know better, but a kid that young has clearly been severely indoctrinated (as have all of Daesh’s foot soldiers). Tragic and heinous attack.

    There are a lot of reports of young children/teens being manipulated into performing suicide bombings, with their families and friends being threatened. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to be put in that position.

    @Steve McMahon-By stopping immigration from this Ideology masquerading as a religion we can at least partially protect ourselves ,-but it’s coming our way for sure under existing conditions.

    Erdogan appears to have incredible investigative powers, has definitively solved this one a few hours after the event. Just like the coup, where the entire civil service was gutted a couple of days later.

    Equating the PKK to Daesh is a nice slice of doublethink and propaganda from Erdogan alright.

    “The president said the Islamic State group was the “likely perpetrator” of the bomb attack, the deadliest in 2016, that targeted a celebration attended by many Kurds.”

    Yeah, because I hear that out of the two of them it’s IS that hates the Kurds the most, and not Erdogan. Uh huh.

    These so called Islamists are the devil’s disiples,nothing else.They are not Muslims and have no right whatsoever to quote the Koran or shout allahu akbar! None ! So next time when young men and women are in their bedroom on their computer being brainwashed on the ideology that they should carry out their “duty “to Muhammad by murdering innocent people,realise that you are doing it for the Devil ok No one else.you are NOT Muslims. You are vicious murdering brutes with no rational cause and are not going to be with 7 lovely brides in paradise. You are just going to burn in hell.

    @Gerry Fallon-The Koran the Islamists use to justify themselves is the same Koran that all other Muslim use and Muslims will not tolerate any revision of its contents saying that the commands of Allah are unalterable.
    All Muslims pay the Annual 2.5% ZAKAT Charity tax amounting to over $200 Billion and 1/8th of this is earmarked by Sharia Law for Jihad against non-Muslims and apostates. This is stated unequivocally in the Hanbook of Sharia Law called ‘The Reliance of the Traveller’ see below and link.All Muslims know where this money goes to and so all Muslims are complicit in Global Terror against non-Muslims and Apostaes.

    —-”H8.17: Those Fighting for Allah/Category 7

    The seventh category is those fighting for Allah, meaning people engaged in Islamic military operations for whom no salary has been allotted in the army roster (O: but who are volunteers for jihad without remuneration). They are given enough to suffice them for the operation, even if affluent; of weapons, mounts, clothing, and expenses (O: for the duration of the journey, round trip, and the time they spend there, even if prolonged.—”

    Watched some of the funerals of the victims on Turkish TV would break your heart so many small coffins …..one of a 3 month old baby . The heartbroken mother who lost 4 of her children said that what stopped her from taking her own life to be with her children was that she had a child still living who needed her.
