Liams Fire Brigade ( Acoustic version ) by No killie fish published on 2021-12-08T12:05:41Z This is the story of Seagrave Tiller Hook and ladder 5211 who served with the Glencove Volunteers fire fighters in Glencove, Long Island, new York from 1987 until 2011. when she finished service she was bought by an Irish man called Liam Moore who has a passion for Fire Brigade and has quite a collection. He transported her from America to Ireland and this song tells the true story, or maybe a part of the true of her travels from Glencove and her arrival here in Dublin. she is 56 foot long, 30tonne and has a 100f foot ladder, driven by a V8 engine and it was my pleasure to ride in her for a few hours with Liam. Liam brings her to charity events and exhibitions to show her off and spend most of his time underneath or on top working on her. here is a youtube link to her arriving in Ireland, we will be putting a youtube video for the song together in due course . Written sung and produced by: Johnny Mc Farlane https://youtu.be/nnL5kTOqckI Verse 1 The story starts in Glen Cove, long Island USA Ladder 5211 starts up for her last day All the boys from the volunteers Could have filled up the water tanks with tears, They didn’t want to see her go away But they knew she had done her stint and that she couldn’t stay So they gave her a big send off and sent her on here way flashing lights and sirens blazing they all said their good bye that night from the Station to the docks there wasn’t one dry eye in sight Chorus Oh Liam Moore’s fire Brigade is the best you’ve ever seen She’s 50 foot from front to back and he keeps her very clean She came all the way from Glen Cove City in the USA Now she’s parked in Liam Mores driveway and she’s here to stay Verse 2 She was loaded up on a ship bound for Dublin IreLand Where Liam moore agus Laim Beag had everything in hand They couldn’t hold in the excitement when the ship docked at Dublin Keys And when the dockers took her off the ship they both got weak at the knees They drove her home via pears street past Tara street fire station Where all the boys from the fire brigade gave her a standing ovation They drive up O Connell street and past the GPO With the sirens on and flashing Lights it’s the only way to go . Chorus Verse 3 All the neighbour on the road were excited to see her arrive Liam knocked down half the house trying to get her in the drive And Annies from number 10 Said Liam lock hard try that again He’s never going to get her in the drive Liam Moore ahus Liam beag Took turns on the steering wheel And between the shouts and curing the grinding of the steel They eventually inched that big yoke in To a very small tight space And when they turned the engine off see the grin on Liam moors face Chorus and change Well Liam loves this engine with all his heart and love nor money wouldn’t pull the 2 of them to part His heart his soul his everything has gone into this truck Its cost him quite a lot of Do but he doesn’t give a Fiddlers Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Pippen Park really good songwriting here :) 2022-03-09T17:51:12Z Comment by Masahiro Shinoda Really enjoyed the idyllic atmosphere of this!
