Flight of the Earls - Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
I can hear the bells of Dublin[00:00:15]
In this lonely waiting room[00:00:19]
And the paperboys are singin'[00:00:23]
In the rain[00:00:27]
Not too long before they take us[00:00:31]
To the airport and the noise[00:00:35]
To get on board[00:00:38]
A transatlantic plane[00:00:41]
We've got nothin' left to stay for[00:00:46]
We had no more left to say[00:00:50]
And there isn't any work for us to do[00:00:53]
So fare well you boys and girls[00:01:01]
Another bloody Flight of Earls[00:01:05]
Our best asset is our best export too[00:01:09]
It's not murder fear or famine[00:01:16]
That makes us leave this time[00:01:20]
We're not going to join[00:01:24]
McAlpine's Fusiliers[00:01:26]
We've got brains and we've got visions we've got education too[00:01:31]
But we just can't throw away[00:01:39]
These precious years[00:01:42]
So we walk the streets of London[00:01:47]
And the streets of Baltimore[00:01:51]
And we meet at night[00:01:54]
In several Boston bars[00:01:56]
We're the leaders of the future[00:02:02]
But we're far away from home[00:02:06]
And we dream of you[00:02:10]
Beneath the Irish stars[00:02:12]
As we look on Ellis Island[00:02:32]
And the Lady in the bay[00:02:36]
And Manhattan turns to face[00:02:40]
Another Sunday[00:02:43]
We just wonder what you're doing[00:02:48]
But to bring us all back home[00:02:51]
As we look forward to another Monday[00:02:55]
Because it's not the work[00:03:03]
That scares us[00:03:05]
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[00:03:22]
All we're missin'[00:03:26]
Is the Guinness and the rain[00:03:27]
So switch off your new computers[00:03:33]
'Cause the writing's on the wall[00:03:37]
We're leaving as our fathers did before[00:03:41]
Take a look at Dublin airport or the boat that leaves North Wall[00:03:48]
There'll be no Youth Unemployment[00:03:56]
Any more[00:04:00]
Because we're over here in Queensland[00:04:04]
And in parts of New South Wales[00:04:08]
We're on the seas and airways[00:04:11]
And the trains[00:04:15]
And if we see better days[00:04:19]
Those big airplanes go both ways[00:04:23]
And we'll all be comin' home to you again[00:04:27]
