Flogging Molly - Factory Girls Meaning

Factory Girls Lyrics
Together held with footsteps she outgew
But now she sits alone, everyone's long gone
She dances in a photograph
When it was good to joke and have a laugh
But that was yesterday, if only today
Now the walls are...

It's a song about Dave King's mom. He remembers as a boy sitting outside of his tenement watching girls walking home from a factory after their shift ended. Later in his life with Flogging Molly, he was thinking about that, and wondering what his mother's life would have been like as one of those girls, and wrote the song around that. (from an interview, http://www.shitenonions.com/interview_FM.htm)

The song is about how he used to watch a laundry factory outside his home as the woman would get off work and enjoy their breaks by a fountain in the courtyard. It was written as a landmark of Davids memory of living in Ireland as a child
