Deep inside my soul fights a war
+
I can't explain, I can't cross over any more
+
All I see are dirty faces
+
Rain and wire, and common sense in pieces
+
But I try to see through Irish eyes
+
Belfast
+
Look outside, summer's lost and gone
It's a long walk on a street of right and wrong
+
In every inch of sadness
+
Rocks and tanks go hand in hand with madness
+
But I never saw a braver place
+
Belfast
+
And it's sad when they sing, and hollow ears listen
Of smoking black roses, on the streets of Belfast
+
And so say your lovers from under the flowers
+
Every foot of this world needs an inch of Belfast
+
Who's to say on whom heaven smiles
Our different ways we try hard to recognise
+
No more enchanted evenings
+
The pubs are closed and all the ghosts are leaving
+
But you'll never let them shut you down
+
Belfast
+
The enemy is not at home
A jealous green streaks down this faulty diamond
+
No bloody boots or crucifix
+
Can ever hope to split this emerald island
+
But I never saw a braver face
+
Belfast
+
