Subject: RE: Belfast town From: Alison Date: 28 Jul 97 - 09:15 PM Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for the lyrics. Yet another cheerful little ditty about Belfast. It's really quite a nice place to live.......honest........I was there 26 years and only ever saw any of the bad stuff on the TV same as the rest of you. Elton John has done a nice song about Belfast on his "Made in England" CD. SLainte Alison |
Subject: Lyr Add: BELFAST TOWN From: Wolfgang Date: 28 Jul 97 - 12:08 PM Hi Alison, I always considered this song to be the Belfast equivalent of "The Town I loved so well". But I never ever heard it except on the LP-Record "We have met together" of, among others, Mick Moloney. On the record cover, it is stated that the author deliberately withholds his/her name. The record is about 20 years old and the song hardly older. To the best of my knowledge, the tune has been written for this song (I do not know yet how to transcribe tunes). The lyrics are as heard from the record and have been checked by a native English speaker. BELFAST TOWN
1. We've barricades and jellygnite and gunmen walk the streets,
2. Oh, Belfast is a City, where decent men are few,
3. For long we've been exploited and often I've asked why
4. Our minds are filled with poison and I fear it is too late
5. Oh, well now, John, you've been and gone around the world to see |
