The Other Side - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

Where John paints in Caribbean colours[00:00:15]

And Tyrone boys dream of loving on the strand[00:00:19]

Flowers heaped in gesture on[00:00:25]

The courthouse steps in Kerry[00:00:27]

And we trampled on the outstretched hand[00:00:29]

Roman posters on the wall outside the graveyard[00:00:34]

“No Divorce” is all they say[00:00:40]

I saw a little sister of Mercy[00:00:44]

Invoke the wrath of God on polling day [00:00:49]

Oh the Island where[00:00:55]

Tyrone boys dream of loving on the strand[00:00:59]

Oh the Island [00:01:04]

Where we trampled on the outstretched hand [00:01:09]

The lady sends squaddies on the water[00:01:17]

Geordie don't be afraid to die[00:01:22]

In blackened face he dreams of his[00:01:26]

Darling bairns and hinny[00:01:28]

On the watchtower overlooking aughnacloy[00:01:31]

In Long Kesh the Tyrone Boys are dreaming[00:01:36]

Of making love upon the strand some day[00:01:41]

On the news came a mid-Atlantic accent[00:01:47]

Plastic bullet has taken Julie Livingstone away[00:01:51]

Oh the Island where[00:01:56]

Tyrone boys dream of loving on the strand[00:02:01]

Oh the Island [00:02:06]

Where we trampled on the outstretched hand [00:02:11]

The King he came to see his people[00:02:18]

And he took a soldier by the hand[00:02:23]

Eyes averted from the Gloucester Diamond[00:02:28]

To comfort those who occupy the land[00:02:33]

High above the clouds a promised heaven[00:02:38]

On the street a confused and homeless child[00:02:43]

While men in black declare a social order[00:02:48]

Frightened women sail to the other side[00:02:52]

Oh the Island where[00:02:58]

Tyrone boys dream of loving on the strand[00:03:03]

Oh the Island [00:03:08]

Where we trampled on the outstretched hand [00:03:13]

All the young ones are leaving the Island[00:03:20]

Out the door down the steps around the side [00:03:25]

Unwanted they file through departure lounges[00:03:30]

Like deportees dispersing far and wide[00:03:35]

In the distance there's cricket in Cloughjordan[00:03:39]

The gentle clack of croquet on the lawn[00:03:45]

As our children shackled by illegal status[00:03:50]

Hold their heads down behind the Brooklyn wall[00:03:54]

Oh the Island where[00:04:00]

Tyrone boys dream of loving on the strand[00:04:05]

Oh the Island [00:04:10]

Where we trampled on the outstretched hand[00:04:14]
