Subject: Lyr Add: THE STREETS OF JOYCE (Enda Kenny) From: michaelr Date: 29 Apr 11 - 11:09 AM I was born in Holles Street, raised in Little Rock Road Marched along the convent wall 'till was twelve years old Did my time in De La Salle til London came to call Headed out for HoIyhead beyond the old North Wall Two brothers and one sister were all I left behind Five others went a wandering their futures for to find Four flew south on silver wing, the wild one to the west I ended up in Melbourne, the last to leave the nest Home is where you make it, that's what I believe I never longed to see the Holy Ground Some are born to travel, some born to stay behind I was born in dear old Dublin Town I was born in dear old Dublin Town Now I work on Hoddle Street,twelve thousand miles away My neighbours talk like Neighbours on your TV every day No beggars on the bridges in the town I've come to know No needle pointing skywards outside the GPO Home is where you make it. that's what I believe Some are born to stay behind and some are born to leave Today I walk the streets at Joyce Tomorrow foreign bound I was born in dear old Dublin Town I was born in dear old Dublin Town (Not called "Home is where the heart is", then, so I changed the subject line. The writer is also not Ireland's newly elected Prime Minister. Just to clear things up.) |
