Thread Name: Lyr Req: My Land Is Too Green
Subject: Lyr Add: MY LAND IS TOO GREEN
I'm looking for the lyrics of this song I heard by Mary Coughlan on the Album "Under the Influence". I'd tried to write down the words during listening to the song but I'm not sure if it's OK.

Here are the words I thought I've heard:

MY LAND IS TOO GREEN

My land is bogged down in religious tradition
We knot our hands in hundreds of missions
One foot in the door one hand in your pocket
We export our problems for foreign solutions
My land is naive to scared off the devil
Voyer than lour with our eyes up to heaven
But nobody looks whit her strips of her neighbour
And to have a good laugh that'd all in the end

Droughted and mist the outlook of hauling
Pressure is rising but temperature's falling
Sunny spells and scaffold showers
But [and] still it rains for hours and hours
And as the blood rise we drown our sorrows
Tossing them back like there is no tomorrow
And in the end we'll [we will] ist or stand
And piss it back to the back-wholes of Ireland

My land is too full of incurable scheming
The promises given are nothing but dreaming
We all love our owl we'll make him our leader
And every four years is right back to zero
My land is still poor and underdeveloped
We talk on our problems for hours an end
And then we decide there's two sides to the story
And have a good laugh that'd all in the end

Can anybody help me?
