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 »

Time on your hands
Dead on your feet
You're out in the hardest cold
Except for the heat
Struck by the blues
They know who you are
And one day they may
Just push you too far

Too fast to last forever
Too young to really learn
Two hearts that cling together
My friend we are the playboys
Of the western world
World

Life is the sentence
And dead is the time
Reason the victim
Again is the crime
Are these words of anger
These words of pain
These are the words you havent heard
The fool is fooled again

Too fast to last forever
Too young to really learn
Two hearts that cling together
My friend we are the playboys
Of the western world
World

Too fast to last forever
Too young to really learn
Two hearts that cling together
My friend we are the playboys
Of the western world

Time on your hands
Time on your hands
Time on your hands
Running thru like sand

Too fast to last forever
Too young to really learn
Two hearts that cling together
My friend we are the playboys
Of the western world
