Lyrics
I'm an ordinary man, nothing special nothing grand
I've had to work for everything I own
I never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I got
Enough to keep my family and my home
Now they say that times are hard and they've handed me my cards
They say there's not the work to go around
And when the whistle blows, the gates will finally close
Tonight they're going to shut this factory down
Then they'll tear it d-o-w-n
I never missed a day nor went on strike for better pay
For twenty years I served them best I could
Now with a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget
Loyalty through the bad times and through good
The owner says he's sad to see that things have got so bad
But the captains of industry won't let him lose
He still drives a car and smokes his cigar
And still he takes his family on a cruise, he'll never lose
Well it seems to me such a cruel irony
He's richer now than he ever was before
Now my cheque is spent and I can't afford the rent
There's one law for the rich, one for the poor
Every day I've tried to salvage some of my pride
To find some work so's I might pay my way
Oh but everywhere I go, the answer's always no
There's no work for anyone here today, no work today
I'm an ordinary man, nothing special nothing grand
I've had to work for everything I own
I never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I got
Enough to keep my family and my home
And so condemned I stand just an ordinary man
Like thousands beside me in the queue
I watch my darling wife trying to make the best of life
And God knows what the kids are going to do
Now that we are faced with this human waste
A generation cast aside
And as long as I live, I never will forgive
You've stripped me of my dignity and pride, you've stripped me bare
You've stripped me bare, you've stripped me bare

I'm stunned ..Christy came up to me today whilst I was busking and said some nice things , I didn't realise it was him , he had a bobble type hat on , then after a minute or two I said , you look like Christy Moore, he said I am , we chatted a bit more , I'm homeless at the moment , he gave me a warm long hug and a large note ..wow , I'm still buzzing four hours later ..

So many thanks to the total of 35 people that gave my comments the thumbs up...I haven't checked this song out for a year or so and was very touched to see the response ..I'm no longer homeless, over two years have past since my Rosslare lass took her life , I have picked up my life again and doing ok back in England but my heart is still in Ireland .....like all places there is good and bad , but the good are fecking good!...the one thing I miss about being homeless is the daily need to pick up the guitar and sing for survival..... Whats that they say about necessity being the mother of invention.?Thank you Ireland xxxxx

Such an amazing artist. I could not believe when the concert. So my thanks to my wonderful amazing husband whose 60th birthday is today. RiP. I remember being on the boat back from Ireland and buying this CD for my husband. Thank you for all the wonderful beautiful music Christy 🍀. Happy heavenly birthday my love. We miss you every day. 💕💚🌹🍀

I made a fair few Christy fans that night.

I claim no welfare , I play every day the weather allows me to, I pay 100 euros a week to stay in Marina House hostel, Dunleary, and live from the Tesco reduced food section...like a lot of people in Ireland I lost my home back in Feb 2013, my ex partner committed suicide and here I am....and I'm sure no decent person begrudges me use of a computer.

Richard, I'm glad to see that you're on the mend. I'm also sorry that you had to face abuse from people. Alas, the technical innovations also bring out the worst in people; the spineless, as a result malicious little people have the chance to hide behind a screen and insult others. I don't live in Ireland anymore; one reason is the cynicism, bigotry and downright malicious comments that are, sadly, passed of a part of "the craic." May God bless you, brother, I'll finish up by quoting you a great Irishman who also faced hardship yet came through it all, Frank McCourt: Bollox the begrudgers.

Richard I hope your not homeless bud , or stuck in some kind of hostel. I really do .. it goes to show you how small minded people can be with comments like these, not all some are warm to the heart. Christy Moore hats off to you brother, you practice what you preach.. much respect. Keep going Richard

Why? It's not an Irish song, but an English sentiment. Written by a man from Hull in the UK about the Thatcher years.

All a man wants is to provide for a family and a woman who respects him for doing so, maybe a couple of pints of the black gold after, I’m currently in Hungary and reminds me so much of how simple life works, Éire a aontú 🇮🇪
