On the Mainland

[00:00:01] On The Mainland - Christy Moore

[00:00:15] I was over on the Mainland

[00:00:17] Doing me act in some old civic hall

[00:00:21] It was the night before we stormed the hackney empire

[00:00:26] My adrenaline got pumpin' when the crowd demanded more

[00:00:32] I couldn't sleep a wink

[00:00:33] So I turned on to the BBC World Service

[00:00:38] Comin' at me from New Delhi

[00:00:40] Or some other long lost Colonial shore

[00:00:47] When a lovely English man came on the wireless

[00:00:51] With a gorgeous sweet dulcet Portland placed clipped tone

[00:00:57] He announced that the winner

[00:00:59] Of the 1995 Nobel Prize for Literature

[00:01:03] Was a British poet

[00:01:08] "Séamus Heaney from Londonderry" sez he

[00:01:12] As cool as cool could be

[00:01:19] So I roared out for tea and toasted muffins

[00:01:23] And a pair of hard-boiled eggs to calm my nerves

[00:01:28] You never claimed George Best nor Alex Higgins

[00:01:32] Nor you never claimed Bellaghy's other boys

[00:01:37] But that's the way things are upon the Mainland

[00:01:41] Where the Quarehawks are still sucking

[00:01:43] The wee small birds' eggs dry

[00:02:19] I was over on the mainland

[00:02:21] Doing me act in some old civic hall
