Flight of Earls - Paddy Reilly/Davey Arthur[00:00:00]

I can hear the bells of Dublin[00:00:08]

In this lonely waiting room[00:00:13]

And the paperboys are singing in the rain[00:00:17]

Not too long before they take us[00:00:25]

To the airport and the noise[00:00:29]

To get on board a transatlantic plane[00:00:34]

We've got nothing left to stay for[00:00:41]

We had no more left to say[00:00:46]

And there isn't any work for us to do[00:00:50]

So farewell ye boys and girls[00:00:58]

Another bloody flight of earls[00:01:02]

Our best asset is our best export too[00:01:07]

It's not murder fear or famine[00:01:14]

That makes us leave this time[00:01:19]

We're not going to join[00:01:23]

McAlpine's fusileers[00:01:25]

We've got brains and we've got visions[00:01:31]

We've got education too[00:01:35]

But we just can't throw away these precious years[00:01:40]

So we walk the streets of London[00:01:47]

And the streets of Baltimore[00:01:52]

And we meet at night in several Boston bars[00:01:56]

We're the leaders of the future[00:02:04]

But we're far away from home[00:02:08]

And we dream of you beneath the Irish stars[00:02:13]

As we look on Ellis Island and the lady in the bay[00:02:29]

And manhattan turns to face another sunday[00:02:38]

We just wonder what you're doing[00:02:45]

To bring us all back home[00:02:50]

As we look forward to another monday[00:02:54]

Because it's not the work that scares us[00:03:02]

We don't mind an honest job[00:03:07]

And we know things will get better[00:03:10]

Once again[00:03:14]

So a thousand times adieu[00:03:18]

We've got bono and u2[00:03:23]

All we're missing is the guinness and the rain[00:03:27]

So switch off your new computers[00:03:35]

'Cause the writing's on the wall[00:03:40]

We're leaving[00:03:44]

As our fathers did before[00:03:46]

Take a look at Dublin airport[00:03:52]

Or the boat that leaves north wall[00:03:56]

There'll be no youth unemployment any more[00:04:00]

Because we're over here in Queensland[00:04:08]

And in parts of new south wales[00:04:13]

We're on the seas and airways and the trains[00:04:17]

But if we see better days[00:04:25]

Those big airplanes go both ways[00:04:29]

And we'll all be coming back to you again[00:04:33]

Yes we'll all be coming back to you again[00:04:41]
