Subject: Lyr Req: Kieran Halpin - Nothing to show for it a From: songs2play Date: 08 Aug 03 - 03:04 AM I had a request in our local folk club for some lyrics to a song by Kieran Halpin, called Nothing To Show For It All. I had not heard the song, but the melody, which he knew, was haunting and I was hoping someone out there would know the lyrics. Much appreciated. |

Subject: Lyr Add: NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT ALL (Kieran Halpin From: MC Fat Date: 08 Aug 03 - 10:42 AM Been too long away from your lovin', Too long with my back to the wall, Been to some faraway places, with nothin' to show for it all.
CHORUS: Been too long away from this country,
Been to their sites and showcases
I've laughed at their jokes and their jestings
But Cheer up now there's someone who's waiting There is a fourth verse that my mate Jude sings but I've forgot it. Jim |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Nothing to Show for It All (Kieran Halpin From: GUEST,Graham Fright Date: 15 Jun 18 - 07:31 PM I've been too long away from your lovin', Too long my back to the wall, I've been to some faraway places, with nothin' to show for it all. CHORUS: I've been too long away from this country, Too long not heeding your call, Now I'm back like some war weary sailor, With nothin' to show for it all. I've been to your sites and showcases Marched to your strong city halls Men in black suits with no faces With nothing to show for it all. CHORUS I've heard all the stories they tell you, Some I can barely recall, It's hard when the tide turns against you' It's all you can do not to fall. CHORUS I've taken the jibes and the jester. I've laughed at your jokes through it all They said go back to that place where you come from Got nothing to give us after all. CHORUS Breath easy theres someone there waiting, Someone who cares after all! |
