Lyrics
0:08Who does not adore the sound
0:15Of music in the name of towns
0:22To build a city on such picturesque ground
0:29That takes some sort of flair
0:33We draw a line the ink is fear
0:40You stay that side we'll stay here
0:47It's far harder to keep it up
0:54Than to tear it down
0:57Does it take you back to the kind of world
1:02Hindsight calls the good old days
1:05Now that there's no room in an einstein world
1:10For simple cause and effect
1:15Dublin dublin home of pretty coleens
1:31Dublin dublin nurse of such bitter dreams
1:56Behind the soft and peachy skin
2:03Where d n a or god begin
2:10Where sub gaelic rot sets in
2:17With stories from your mother
2:21In myths and less exalted forms
2:28The heady cocktail glory is born
2:35You know it's not a bottled storm
2:42So why do you indulge it
2:48Dublin dublin home of pretty coleens
3:05Dublin dublin nurse of such bitter dreams
Who does not adore the sound Of music in the name of towns To build a city on such picturesque ground That takes some sort of flair We draw a line the ink is fear You stay that side we'll stay here It's far harder to keep it up Than to tear it down Does it take you back to the kind of world Hindsight calls the good old days Now that there's no room in an einstein world For simple cause and effect Dublin dublin home of pretty coleens Dublin dublin nurse of such bitter dreams Behind the soft and peachy skin Where d n a or god begin Where sub gaelic rot sets in With stories from your mother In myths and less exalted forms The heady cocktail glory is born You know it's not a bottled storm So why do you indulge it Dublin dublin home of pretty coleens Dublin dublin nurse of such bitter dreams
