On The Mainland - Christy Moore[00:00:01]

I was over on the Mainland[00:00:15]

Doing me act in some old civic hall[00:00:17]

It was the night before we stormed the hackney empire[00:00:21]

My adrenaline got pumpin' when the crowd demanded more[00:00:26]

I couldn't sleep a wink[00:00:32]

So I turned on to the BBC World Service[00:00:33]

Comin' at me from New Delhi[00:00:38]

Or some other long lost Colonial shore[00:00:40]

When a lovely English man came on the wireless[00:00:47]

With a gorgeous sweet dulcet Portland placed clipped tone[00:00:51]

He announced that the winner[00:00:57]

Of the 1995 Nobel Prize for Literature[00:00:59]

Was a British poet[00:01:03]

"Séamus Heaney from Londonderry" sez he[00:01:08]

As cool as cool could be[00:01:12]

So I roared out for tea and toasted muffins[00:01:19]

And a pair of hard-boiled eggs to calm my nerves[00:01:23]

You never claimed George Best nor Alex Higgins[00:01:28]

Nor you never claimed Bellaghy's other boys[00:01:32]

But that's the way things are upon the Mainland[00:01:37]

Where the Quarehawks are still sucking[00:01:41]

The wee small birds' eggs dry [00:01:43]

I was over on the mainland[00:02:19]

Doing me act in some old civic hall[00:02:21]
