Yes the theme is alcohol, well done! 😂

aswarmofmidges · 14/10/2023 20:52

The thin lizzy version takes it back to molly Not Jenny ?

Just looked it up, you are right about Molly for Thin Lizzie, The Dubliners version says Jenny. Which is what I seen when I checked!

aswarmofmidges · 14/10/2023 21:24

I will claim that as my excuse for not getting it !

My brain has now conjured up some more lyrics to this song . I think it's called 'the Eve of destruction'. Not Bob Dylan - it I don't know who .

FlouncingBabooshka · 14/10/2023 22:38

You’re right about the song Shiny - and also right that it’s not Bob Dylan.
