If I Ever Leave This World Alive
Flogging Molly · P.S. I Love You (Music From The Motion Picture) [2007]
I'll thank for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll come back down and sit beside your
feet tonight
Wherever I am you'll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll take on all the sadness
That I left behind
If I ever leave this world alive
The madness that you feel will soon subside
So in a word don't shed a tear
I'll be here when it all gets weird
If I ever leave this world alive
So when in doubt just call my name
Just before you go insane
If I ever leave this world
Hey I may never leave this world
But if I ever leave this world alive
She says I'm okay; I'm alright,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would,
Now everything should be all right
She says I'm okay; I'm alright,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would,
Now everything should be all right
Yeah should be alright
If I Ever Leave This World Alive
Flogging Molly's "If I Ever Leave This World Alive" stands as a defining track from their 2007 soundtrack album, P.S. I Love You. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of traditional Irish folk instrumentation and high-energy punk rock, driven by the driving rhythm of their signature drumming and the soaring vocals of lead singer Sean McNally. Recorded during a period where the group was refining their signature sound, the track captures the raw, unpolished energy that has made them a staple of the folk-punk genre. Its inclusion in a major motion picture soundtrack highlighted the band's ability to deliver both cinematic power and authentic musical tradition, cementing their reputation as a force in the alternative rock landscape.
