《The Other Side》歌词

[00:00:00] The Other Side - Christy Moore

[00:00:15] Where John paints in Caribbean colours

[00:00:19] And Tyrone boys dream of loving on the strand

[00:00:25] Flowers heaped in gesture on

[00:00:27] The courthouse steps in Kerry

[00:00:29] And we trampled on the outstretched hand

[00:00:34] Roman posters on the wall outside the graveyard

[00:00:40] “No Divorce” is all they say

[00:00:44] I saw a little sister of Mercy

[00:00:49] Invoke the wrath of God on polling day

[00:00:55] Oh the Island where

[00:00:59] Tyrone boys dream of loving on the strand

[00:01:04] Oh the Island

[00:01:09] Where we trampled on the outstretched hand

[00:01:17] The lady sends squaddies on the water

[00:01:22] Geordie don't be afraid to die

[00:01:26] In blackened face he dreams of his

[00:01:28] Darling bairns and hinny

[00:01:31] On the watchtower overlooking aughnacloy

[00:01:36] In Long Kesh the Tyrone Boys are dreaming

[00:01:41] Of making love upon the strand some day

[00:01:47] On the news came a mid-Atlantic accent

[00:01:51] Plastic bullet has taken Julie Livingstone away

[00:01:56] Oh the Island where

[00:02:01] Tyrone boys dream of loving on the strand

[00:02:06] Oh the Island

[00:02:11] Where we trampled on the outstretched hand

[00:02:18] The King he came to see his people

[00:02:23] And he took a soldier by the hand

[00:02:28] Eyes averted from the Gloucester Diamond

[00:02:33] To comfort those who occupy the land

[00:02:38] High above the clouds a promised heaven

[00:02:43] On the street a confused and homeless child

[00:02:48] While men in black declare a social order

[00:02:52] Frightened women sail to the other side

[00:02:58] Oh the Island where

[00:03:03] Tyrone boys dream of loving on the strand

[00:03:08] Oh the Island

[00:03:13] Where we trampled on the outstretched hand

[00:03:20] All the young ones are leaving the Island

[00:03:25] Out the door down the steps around the side

[00:03:30] Unwanted they file through departure lounges

[00:03:35] Like deportees dispersing far and wide

[00:03:39] In the distance there's cricket in Cloughjordan

[00:03:45] The gentle clack of croquet on the lawn

[00:03:50] As our children shackled by illegal status

[00:03:54] Hold their heads down behind the Brooklyn wall

[00:04:00] Oh the Island where

[00:04:05] Tyrone boys dream of loving on the strand

[00:04:10] Oh the Island

[00:04:14] Where we trampled on the outstretched hand
