John Elton Belfast lyrics

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 a 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

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

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 place, Belfast
