GUEST,Ireland Are lyrics offensive (69* d) RE: Are lyrics offensive 30 Sep 02


Wolfgang, to add IRA at the end would make no sense as the song indicates the territory of "ulstermen", for an IRA man to be buried in Ulster he is still in his home land if you know what I mean.

There is another song No pope in Rome? Tune of home on the range. No pope in Rome No chapels to shine in my eye, No nuns and no Priests and no rosary beads Every day is the 12th of July.???

These songs are brought out around the start of July, they only cause offence and instill hatred. My friend is catholic as he is older than me he takes the mick out of the situation, you know prod v cath, mixing the Soldiers song with the sash, goes over my sons head but I think it's funny.

My point I suspose is this,if my children are not exposed to this crap there is one less way of filling them full of bigoted crap the ruins a great country. And if they are exposed to it I rather have the situation protrayed for the joke it is.
