Dublin Town - Damien Dempsey[00:00:00]
Written by:Damien Dempsey[00:00:09]
Rollin' down to Dublin Town[00:00:18]
Comin' from the Northside headin' Southbound[00:00:22]
The glare of the city you can see it in the sky[00:00:26]
See it in the faces when I'm passing them by[00:00:30]
Dublin Town bright lights all around[00:00:35]
All the different sounds concrete surrounds[00:00:39]
You need a few pounds or there's nothing to do[00:00:43]
No muns no fun in the foggy dew[00:00:47]
I be signing on off Gardiner street[00:00:51]
See all the people struggling just to make ends meet[00:00:56]
The more unfortunate ones be begging at your feet[00:00:59]
We'll have to send a warning to the socially elite[00:01:04]
And I repeat if you keep a people down[00:01:08]
In any old town or country they'll rise don't you see[00:01:11]
It's the will to survive that keeps them alive[00:01:16]
And they're starting to see through all the lies[00:01:21]
That they've contrived so I say to you all[00:01:23]
To educate yourself become well read[00:01:27]
And start to use the head contemplate your own situation[00:01:31]
Find the true enemy and stop banging heads[00:01:37]
With the victims of its greed[00:01:41]
Am I getting too serious[00:01:43]
Well this was meant to be a love song[00:01:46]
Well it is a love song because I love my people[00:01:48]
Rollin' down to Dublin Town[00:01:59]
Comin' from the Northside headin' Southbound[00:02:03]
The glare of the city you can see it in the sky[00:02:07]
See it in the faces when I'm passing them by[00:02:11]
Rollin' down to Dublin Town[00:02:16]
Comin' from the Northside headin' Southbound[00:02:20]
The glare of the city you can see it in the sky[00:02:24]
See it in the faces when I'm passing them by[00:02:28]
Not so long ago back in the good old days[00:02:33]
I dreamed of Irish laws and Irish ways[00:02:37]
And saw that the present days weren't so good[00:02:39]
And the only thing I could think about them that was good[00:02:44]
Was most of the people that surrounded me[00:02:48]
But still I call them good old days because of the craic[00:02:51]
That we had[00:02:54]
We refused to stay sad[00:02:55]
If you have your own around you and also possess your health[00:02:58]
At the end of the day you'll discover that that is the most[00:03:02]
Essential wealth I throw my mind back[00:03:04]
And recall the days I used to have the craic[00:03:08]
Back in Dublin town[00:03:11]
Getting down to the Irish and Jamaican sounds[00:03:13]
Listenin' and learning about life[00:03:17]
Helping me make it through the strife[00:03:21]
Suckin' on a big fat spliff full of rocky flagon in my hand[00:03:23]
Be makin' me feel grand[00:03:29]
Discussing this and that and thinking about the now[00:03:31]
Thinking about the future making myself a vow[00:03:35]
I wasn't going to waste my life[00:03:40]
But I was going to live and love do the best that I could[00:03:42]
I was going to bring some music to the people[00:03:47]
And tell them that they were equal[00:03:50]
But some of them wouldn't listen[00:03:52]
And this is what is pissin' the rest of us off[00:03:54]
You would wanna start listening to us you would[00:03:58]
'Cause to you we aren't going to be good forever[00:04:00]
Yeah maybe even here in the Dublin Town[00:04:05]
Things could get turned upside down[00:04:10]
Rollin' down to Dublin Town[00:04:18]
Comin' from the Northside headin' Southbound[00:04:22]
The glare of the city you can see it in the sky[00:04:26]
See it in the faces when I'm passing them by[00:04:30]
Rollin' down to Dublin Town[00:04:35]
Comin' from the Northside headin' Southbound[00:04:39]
The glare of the city you can see it in the sky[00:04:43]
See it in the faces when I'm passing them by[00:04:47]
