Biography

Redhill Rats was formed, many years ago, as a traditional Irish music band. Other influences, however, crept in gradually.

When the musical form was liberated from excessive Irishness, original material began to emerge. Our years in Paddyland have left their mark in the new songs, of course, but so have other musical styles like British folk, Americana, Bluegrass and various forms of pop and rock.

We suppose we can call this folkrock, as there are quite a few acoustic instruments involved.

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 Song lyrics, part 6 Sailing ´round the world (Ranta-aho) 1. We set off across the Baltic sea aboard a schooner called Debris Our captain he did say to me: We’re sailing ´round the world. The Tallinn girls were mighty nice, the beer they sold was half the price We didn’t drink it once, but twice and afterwards we hurled. Ch: Whoa-ho! Sailing ´round the world! I don’t think you will see us for a while. Whoa-ho! Sailing ´round the world! Before we go just let me see your smile 2. The Visby nights were warm and fair. A fine place for a millionaire They have no Kossuvissy there. An Absolut disgrace I saw this girl down by the sea, her dearest wish was to be free The king of Sweden yelled at me: ”Get off me daughter’s face!” 3. Rostock did not treat us well, the Ossies wished us all to hell We made a blunder trying to sell them well-worn pairs jeans. A lady offered me a kiss, she promised some unworldly bliss More of a mister than a miss, she was the king of all the queens 4. The Channel drove us to the brink We thought our ship would surely sink The captain nearly spilled his drink. It really was that rough. The world’s smaller than it used to be. We’ve seen all there is to see We’re sailing back to Helsinki Having had enough.
