Belfast
How I know you so well
You're like heaven
You're like hell
Times,
Times change
Though the bond
Still remains
I'll be with her
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
Oh yeah
Where did it go?
Oh yeah
Where did it go?
Nights,
Nights when
When the smoke
Filled the air
I remember
I remember well
We
We sang
Cos we just
didn't care
Sing out louder
I will still be there
I will still be there
Oh yeah
Where did it go?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
Oh yeah
Where did it go?
Up the steps of the station
With a bottle in my hand
Celebrate the celebration
In spite of this land
I've counted the coffins
From the window of despair
I've grown numb to murder
And I'm too drunk, too drunk to care
Somebody's brother, somebody's son
Somebody's jewel, somebody's love
People are people
Your people, our people
Dreaming of peace
In a place where there's none
There's a fire in the valley
There's light from the moon
Shadows are dancing and dancing and dancing
Dancing round my room
A young life is taken
A mother's heart broken
And the dark words of vengeance
Are the only, are the only words spoken
Somebody's brother, somebody's son
Somebody's jewel, somebody's love
People are people
Your people, our people
Dreaming of peace
In a place where there's none
Somebody's brother, somebody's son
Somebody's jewel, somebody's love
People are people
Your people, our people
Dreaming of peace
In a place where there's none
Somebody's brother, somebody's son
Somebody's jewel, somebody's love
People, my people
Your people, our people
Dreaming of peace
In a place where there's none
Somebody's brother, somebody's son
Somebody's jewel, somebody's love
People, my people
Your people, our people
Dreaming of peace
In a place where there's none
Do my eyes reveal
Melancholy blue?
Do you think of me?
Do I think of you?
These are troubled times
These are winter days
And if I make you cry
It's just my foolish ways
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of love
It just goes wrong
Make me brave
Like a lion
Better pray for rain
Cos the street's on fire again
Gunfire from the hill
Everybody's lying still
These are troubled times
These are winter days
And if I make you cry
It's just my foolish ways
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of love
It just goes wrong
Make me brave
Like a lion
I went out last night walkin'
I heard someone talkin'
You better stop goin out in the night
You better straighten up and fly right
You better stop tellin' those lies
I'm gonna cut you down to my size, my size
You got one, you got two
Brown eyes
Hypnotize, hypnotize, hypnotize
Yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah
Yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah
Yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah
Yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah woah woah woah
You better stop tellin' those lies
I'm gonna cut you down to my size
You better stop tellin' those lies
I'm gonna cut you down to my size, my size, my size
Yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah
Yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah
Yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah
Yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah woah woah woah
I met my true love
By the mouth of the river
We got to talking
And I thought I could love her
She gave me whiskey
And I tried to forget
Put the sea between us
And I'll never go back, no I won't
But I could not be free
Till you walk, walk with me
I'm looking for the King of love
The King of Love
The King of Love
King of Love
King of Love
I left my country
And came to this city
And it tried to break me
And I filled up with pity
Well my spirit grew stronger
And that big world keeps turning, keeps turning, keeps turning
And my spirit grew stronger
And I keep on learning, yes I do
We could be free, hey
You and me
If we could find
The King of Love
The King of Love
The King of Love
Doesn't matter anymore
I got what I wanted
I got what I wanted, woah yeah
King of love, woah yeah (the King of love)
Talkin' bout the King, talkin' bout the King
Yeah (King of Love)
Hey (King of Love)
The King of Love, King of Love (King of love)
King of Love, King of Love
I met my true love
By the mouth of the river
We got to talking
And I thought I could love her
Just got paid
I'm stumbling up the street
Out of my head
Still on my feet, yeah
Hey little girl, little girl, little girl
You come out with me?
I know you love somebody else now
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me?
I go walking down to sailortown
And I look at the sea
And them big ships come sailing in, sailing in
Maybe this one's for me
It breaks my heart
To see you live this way
Scared of everything
Every single day
I can't sit still, I can't sit still, I can't sit still
There's too much in my head
I've gotta break out of this place somehow
When I'm still young and alive
Still young and alive
I go walking down to sailortown
And I look at the sea
And them big ships come sailing in, sailing in
Maybe this one's for me
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe
Hey
Hey
Maybe m-maybe
Maybe m-maybe
I go walking down to sailortown
And I look at the sea
And them big ships come sailing in, sailing in
Maybe this one's for me
I go walking down to sailortown
And I look at the sea
And them big ships, big ships come sailing in
Maybe this one's for me
Times are getting harder
I don't understand
Now I've got a notion
To hide away if I can
A voice is getting louder
The voice of fractiousness
And God's children, they got rhythm
And they deserve some happiness
I know
Somebody loves me
I know
Somebody does
All I want is the feeling
You're beside me
So I
Can walk in love
No more dark desires
Of my dream
No more rivers of blood
Shall flow
And that day is getting closer now
When our freedom shall be known
I know
Somebody loves me
I know
Somebody does
All I want is the feeling
You're beside me
So I
Can walk in love
I know
Somebody loves me
I know
Somebody does
All I want is the feeling
You're beside me
So I
Can walk in love
I am a good thief
Born in the city
Tryna survive
In the days of plenty
I pity the rich man
Who can't beat his addiction
I take what I need
I don't really need it
And I hear you call,
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house
I grew up on the West side
When the world was at war
And nobody knew
What they were fighting for
Same old revolution
The rich versus the poor
I take what I need
And I need some more
I might take it all
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house, yeah
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house must fall
When fame and fortune
Come looking for me
I'll be ready and waiting
At the top of the street
Keep dreaming them dreams
You will not get there at all
I'll stop banging my head
When there's no more wall
And I can hear you call,
This house, this house must fall
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house must fall
This house must fall
(This house must fall)
This house must fall
(This house must fall)
This house must fall
(This house must fall)
This house must fall
This house
Sweet Irish rose
My heart is breaking
Nobody knows
What I've been taking
I thought I was something
I was mistaken
I thought I was something
I was mistaken
Whatever it was
it's gone, gone, gone
it's gone, gone, gone
it's gone, gone, gone, yeah
Sweet Irish rose
My poor back is aching
Now everyone knows
The plans I was making
You thought I was something
You were mistaken
You thought I was something
You were mistaken
Whatever it was
it's gone, gone, gone
it's gone, gone, gone
it's gone, gone, gone, it's gone
I was walking
Down the Hard Street
Just walking
Thinking about nothing
I was hungry
And I was cold
And I'd no place
No place to go
And I was thirsty
Thirsty for something
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I?
And love
Has many disguises
But if you really
Really wanna find it
You will find it
Even on Hard Street
You will find it
Even on Hard Street
And I feel thirsty
Thirsty for something
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Well, should I?
(Pick it up)
Hey!
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Should I drink the water?
Water, water, water, hey
Hey!
Oh yeah!
Don't worry now, child
It's a good day to die
There's a song on the street,
And the sun's way up high
And Beechmount is quiet
While sleeping dogs lie
But I'm leaving tomorrow,
So kiss me goodbye
I know you've been hurt
So have I
But time will heal
As time goes by
Well the people round here
They don't seem satisfied
Young people getting old
Ahead of their time
But it's too late now
To undo what you done
But don't worry now child
Cos the show must go on
I know you've been hurt
So have I
But time will heal
As time goes by
I will come home
When I'm better inside
When time has healed
As time goes by
Wish I had money
Wish I could fly
Don't know any better way
To say goodbye
But if you really love me
Then you must step aside
Step aside, step aside
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, it's a good day to die
Good day to die
Don't worry now, child
It's a good day
It's a good day
It's a good day to die
