Elton John - Belfast Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinAvailable on the album made in englandDeep inside my soul fights a warI cant explain, I cant cross over any moreAll I see are dirty facesRain and wire, and common sense in piecesBut I try to see through irish eyesBelfastLook outside, summers lost and goneIts a long walk on a street of right and wrongIn every inch of sadnessRocks and tanks go hand in hand with madnessBut I never saw a braver placeBelfastAnd its sad when they sing, and hollow ears listenOf smoking black roses, on the streets of belfastAnd so say your lovers from under the flowersEvery foot of this world needs an inch of belfastWhos to say on whom heaven smilesOur different ways we try hard to recogniseNo more enchanted eveningsThe pubs are closed and all the ghosts are leavingBut youll never let them shut you downBelfastThe enemy is not at homeA jealous green streaks down this faulty diamondNo bloody boots or crucifixCan ever hope to split this emerald islandBut I never saw a braver faceBelfast
