Poor Old Ireland (BBC Radio One's ''Sounds Of The 70s'' 8/5/72) - Lindisfarne[00:00:00]
Poor old Ireland poor old universe [00:00:21]
Wonder who comes off the worse [00:00:25]
Poor old people mistreating misbelieving [00:00:30]
I think you've been cast by a curse [00:00:35]
But I don't want you to die [00:00:39]
I can see all the lies[00:00:42]
There's nothing there that's new [00:00:45]
But there's still no need to make blind children bleed [00:00:49]
Even if what you say is true [00:00:54]
And meanwhile in the aisles of the churches with style [00:00:59]
They're singing their songs to the Lord [00:01:04]
And the preacher's carping that for failure on earth [00:01:08]
Heaven will be your reward [00:01:14]
Poor old Ireland tortured by past [00:01:21]
And tarnished by future's curse[00:01:26]
Poor old Ireland poor old planet [00:01:31]
Poor old universe [00:01:35]
Oh Ireland your people mean more than the idols[00:02:00]
You seek to set upon high[00:02:04]
And the day that you see that's the day [00:02:10]
That all of your sadness and sickness will die [00:02:13]
For the enemy you seek to destroy[00:02:21]
Is not the one who's causing the pain [00:02:25]
He's disguised himself well with his book and his bell[00:02:31]
But evil is still his name [00:02:36]
Poor old Ireland tortured by past [00:02:44]
Tarnished by future's curse [00:02:49]
Poor old Ireland poor old universe[00:02:54]
Wonder who comes off the worse[00:02:59]
