A National Light (исполнитель: The Rags)
Pingpong! Theres the Belle for Sexaloitez! Romance is dead At least thats what William Butler said I believe its alive Within the homes of Berryfield Drive Paralysed with heroin Sun-drenched, red flagrant skin Etching sonnets in our hearts Where every bloom Has died in the gloom And the torture began In the box-room And I know my impulses well Ive a right to bleed But no right to feel Gaudy girls bodies go by And the sunset sides with their pale white hides I had a dream that there was blood in the stream And the heads of the parliament drowned; face down Gucci suits and blank cheque books Burst the banks of the Liffey And we owned the city We cried at processions and those violent parades That opened up our young kids heads Pearse was smiling at Joyce recoiling By the granite of his grave, Oscar says: Hold me tight I am a national light Weve had our feelings shackled and gagged Another summer lover or a teenage body bag Romantic movements were just fits of despair The pangs of sadness that fatten the air I know mens impulses well Their loves much better In a loose-fit sweater As gaudy girls bodies go by The sunset sides with their pale white hides I had a dream that there was blood in the stream And the heads of the parliament drowned; face down Gucci suits and blank cheque books Burst the banks of the Liffey And we owned the city We cried at processions and those violent parades That opened up our young kids heads Pearse was smiling at Joyce recoiling By the granite of his grave, Oscar prays [bad word] magazines and souls as black as sin We watched the [bad word] pouring in Amid grime and crime dead culture chimes (I love your skin-tight jeans I love the fact you have no dreams It keeps the world alight for me) The tenement tides The blood of the Southside We had no living But we had our pride Millions could scream But [bad word] no one could see? That life is a lonely, a lonely thing Ireland sober is Ireland stiff. Lord help you, Maria, full of grease, the load is with me!
