SIR REG - The Kings Of Sweet Feck All (Official Lyric Video)

CELTIC / PUNK / ROCK Official Lyric video for the single 'The Kings Of Sweet Feck All' by SIR REG Directed by: Martin Wrigsjö Staflin --- In a world of uncertainty, there’s few things that will lift your spirits like a raucous, rollicking, rambunctious slice of Celtic folk/punk, and Swedish/Irish sextet SIR REG are more than happy to oblige! Formed by Irishman Brendan Sheehy, who left his home-town of Dublin and headed to Sweden with a guitar and a dream - to put together the most amazing band possible. Boasting songs that bring together everything from the issues of modern day society to finding the right bar on a Saturday night, powered by strong melodies and irresistible energy. Add to the mix an explosive live show and it’s easy to see why, SIR REG have a formidable reputation in the Celtic punk and rock scene. Since the fledging band burst onto the scene in 2009 they have released five critically acclaimed albums and have performed on many of Europe’s biggest stages alongside bands like The Mahones, The Misfits, Thin Lizzy and The Real McKenzies. 'The Kings Of Sweet Feck All' is the second single and title track from the album (following 'Open the Pubs' which was released in mid January) and the band explain that it's a song of compassion: "Sometimes people follow the flock and go along with things just because they feel they have to! This song is about a bunch of British soldiers raiding the home of an Irish family during the war of independence. The soldiers didn’t want to be there, but it was their job and their duty. A reminder that even enemies feel compassion for each other. // SIR REG CREDITS Title: The Kings Of Sweet Feck All Music: SIR REG Lyrics: Brendan Sheehy, Chris Inoue ISRC: SEXTE2101301 Publishing: Despotz Music Label: Despotz Records, LC 27829 More from SIR REG: Webshop: https://despotz.bigcartel.com/artist/...

LYRICS Was singing a song from far away The sirens rang throughout the day A shot in the dark that ricocheted But never a thing was told We heard a knocking upon the door The kids they hid beneath the floor Battered it in, a great furore, And marched us all outside They lined us up along the wall told us to be quiet, as the sergeant looked us up and down, stared into his eyes. As he gave his orders shoot to kill if any of us declined, We could see what they were thinking What was running through their minds We’re the kings of sweet fuck all And we know what we’re doing is wrong But if we stand up they’ll treat us just like you We’re the kings of sweet fuck all yeah, we know what we’re doing is wrong If we stand up they’ll shoot us down like you They searched the house, the wood and the bricks And all they found were hurley sticks The man had made his mind up, they were a weapon against the crown Told him they were used for sport, he didn’t believe in my retort, Convinced himself that we were traitors, had to take us down He gave the order “shoot them all, they’re rebels to the core” And his men were looking back at him with sickening deplore When they drew their rifles on us as we prepared for our demise We knew what they were thinking, we could see it in their eyes #SirReg #celtic #irishmusic #rock #punkrock --- ℗ & © 2022 Despotz Records http://www.despotz.se
