... after seeing Thin Lizzy last night (or what's left of them).
Surely "Whiskey in the Jar" must be the rock anthem for E.V.E.?
"As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains.
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier.
I said: "Stand or deliver or the devil he may take ya".
Surely a scenario for "Gloire lies within" the lyrics.
I believe it was a late C17th song. It inspired "The Beggars Opera" (1728) and became popular with Irish-American soldiers during the American Revolution for it's anti British officer sentiments.
