《The Flight of the Earls》歌词

[00:00:00] Flight Of The Earls - Paddy Reilly

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:41] We've got nothing 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:25] McAlpine's fusileers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:14] Once again

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:44] We're leaving

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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