In New York City I made my home
I loved the streets, the very stones
Cared for my comrades, cherished my friends
Loved all beginnings, had no time for ends
A city`s streets are full of woe
I saw suffering where`er I`d go
I did my best to console and heal
Treat each human with full dignity
I never saw a reason to
Hate someone who thinks different than you
Each one has their anointed place
In the love reflected in their God`s face
We all have sorrow, our share of trials
We all are sinners in each other`s eyes
Love alone can heal the pain
God bestows love in so many ways
I love the company of friends
The fire and the music sparkling in their eyes
But I achieved my heart`s desire
When I rode beside the ones who fight the fires
I have my failings and I have tried
To look them squarely in the eye
To be there when someone might call
For I know cruel well how hard it is to fall
As I arise on this September morn
The sun is beaming down, the streets are warm
God`s in His heaven and all is well
I will go forth and do His will.
Livin` in America: 11 Years On
Oh, I took me chance
Up in the Bronx
Seven years ago to the day
Oh, I walked up to him
Said, `how`re you doin`?`
Ever since it`s been hell to pay
We moved in together
Oh, God, that fellah
Drove me to distraction and despair
But the sex was good
Like I knew it would be
Livin` in America
At first it was great
Out drinkin` all night
Fireworks back home in the bed
Then we got engaged
Oh god, what a cage
All she talked about was weddin` bells
We went home to The Coombe
A way too soon
The lads didn`t know what to make of us
With our drinkin` and fightin`
And kissin` and cryin`
And livin` in America
I felt sick to me stomach
What the hell is wrong with it
Couldn`t even look at a beer
When I went to the clinic
I just couldn`t believe it
`Congratulations, my dear???`
He was decent enough
When I told him the truth
Said, `you know I always wanted to marry you`
But that night in the dark
I could tell that his heart
Was broken in America
I did the best that I could
Sweatin` hot tears and blood
Buildin` that house up in Pearl River
But everything changed
With each kid on the way
She took all the fun out of livin`
No more nights on the town
No, it`s get your head down
It`s all for the children and the future,
Oh Mammy dear, it`s no fun over here
Livin` in America
Workin` like a madman morning noon and night
I need them couple of pints to make me feel alright
I never meant to stay late, it just turned out that way
I need some craic like all the lads before I`m old and gray
Lyin` in the bed, waitin` for your key
To turn in the lock, pretendin` I`m asleep
Oh, you want me now, despite me frozen tears
But there`s more to life than makin` love to a drunk reekin` of beer
And now we`re apart
Ah, it`s breakin` me heart
The young one cries about him every day
I get out to the pub
A couple of times every month
I suppose I`m doin` okay
Young lads give me the eye
But I think that I`d die
If another man touched me that way
I`d give the world to talk to him
But he`s here with his girlfriend
Livin` in Amerikay
Is that her over there
What`s she done with her hair
Still there`s no one holds a candle to her
Ah, jeez, she looks good
Just like I knew she would
`Do you come here often, stranger??
Can`t we try once again
Can you get past the pain
Would it matter if I told you I adore you
Oh, darlin` me dear,
I still need you here
Livin` in America
Can I get you your coat
We can work it all out,
Livin` in America
Oh Mammy dear we`re all mad over here
Livin` in America
Him: Listen, don`t make a show of me, will you, the lads are all watchin`
Her: To hell with the lads, are you ever goin` to grow up? There`s a couple of things you and I are goin` to have to sort out..
Him: Oh yeah? Like what?
Her: Give me a couple of weeks and I`ll make up a list for you.
Him: I`m not givin` up me pint again, I tell you that right now.
Her: You and your pint!
Him: Jaysus, you`re an awful woman, aren`t you?
Her: It`s you made me that way.
Him: Ah will you be quiet and give us an auld kiss
