Playboy of the Western World

The Playboy of the Western World is a three-act play written by Irish playwright John Millington Synge, first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 26 January 1907. It is set in Michael James Flaherty's public house in County Mayo (on the west coast of Ireland) during the early 1900s. It tells the story of Christy Mahon, a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father. The play is known for its use of the poetic, evocative language of Hiberno-English, heavily influenced by the Irish language, as Synge celebrates the lyrical speech of the Irish. more »

Come ring the bells you mild and meek
And chant the spells for the truth you seek
This hot gospel with meaning so deep
That lies on a bookshelf while millions weep
The laughter's gone friends have flown
I sang the song and stand along
Your far too late the seed is sown
Tell me I'm wrong and cast the first stone

The only road is the only road
That leads nowhere but to despair
Too fast to last too young to learn
With time to spend and money to burn
It's all bin done It's all bin said
It's just the safety for the few
Will you be able to sleep in your bed
Guess who's walking out on you

Turn your face to face another day
It turns into another bleak display
You seek dark passage thru the morning hours
You've gotta find another way
You meet the man in a sad cafe
A mist the calm you buying arms
You grease his palm and with out alarm 
He'll charm your life away
