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
