Say Ireland - Gilbert O'Sullivan

When bombs dismay you don’t just cry cry Ireland cry Ireland cry Ireland cry

Ireland and I’ll tell you why

(How much time have you got?)

Where are my Irish roots where did I get those boots

why do I not like suits and ties and why so shy in front of people

It’s on top of a steeple that I belong far from the maddening crowd as far as I

am allowed

far from the maddening crowd as far as I am allowed far from the maddening

crowd as far as I am allowed

and the crack was in the ceiling

Say Ireland…(Ireland)…Say.(Ireland)

When words fail you don’t say why say Ireland say Ireland
