06 Apr 11 - 07:05 PM (#3130158) Subject: Lyr Add: THEY NEVER CAME HOME (Christy Moore) From: GUEST,999 CHRISTY MOORE THEY NEVER CAME HOME St. Valentine's day comes around once a year, All our thought turn to love as the day it draws near, When sweethearts and darlings, husbands and wives, Pledge love and devotion for the rest of their lives. As day turns to evening soon nighttime does fall, Young people preparing for the Valentine's Ball, As the night rings with laughter some people still mourn The 48 children who never came home. CHORUS Have we forgotten the suffering and pain the survivors and victims of the fire in Artane, the mothers and fathers forever to mourn the 48 children who never came home. Down to the Stardust they all made their way The bouncers stood back as they lined up to pay The records are spinning there's dancing as well Just how the fire started sure no one can tell. In a matter of seconds confusion did reign The room was in darkness fire exits were chained The firefighters wept for they could not hide, Their anger and sorrow for those left inside. CHORUS All around the city the bad news it spread There's a fire in the Stardust there's 48 dead Hundreds of children are injured and maimed And all just because the fire exits were chained. Our leaders were shocked, grim statements were made They shed tears in the graveyard as the bodies were laid The victims have waited in vain for 4 years It seems like our leaders shed crocodile tears. CHORUS Half a million was spent on solicitor's fees, A fortune to the owner and his family It's hard to believe not one penny came To the working class people who suffered the pain. Days turn to weeks and weeks turn to years Our laws favour the rich or so it appears A woman still waits for her lads to come home Injustice breeds anger and that's what's been done. CHORUS |
