Saw you drinking gin, on the fore deck of the steamer
You had a little sadness in your eyes, was it something meaner
All those roads you travelled down, all those bones don’t make a sound
History she binds you like a curse
In your house upon the hill, those skies goes on forever
Your children and your servants dancing slowly from the grave
A moment stuck in time, those boys forever hold that line
Tried so hard there’s not much they could save
Take me back, take me back to
The old dole queue and the heart attacks
When Bobby O’Reilly he got the sack
Those days I spent with you
Pack me up and send me back
The Irish bombs the Afghan black
Kissing you by the burning shacks
Those days I spent with you
On those stones a sacrifice, a vow to forgo paradise
Stone by stone Jerusalem is handed back
No more to war we’ll ever go, they called us up but we didn’t show
Keep your bloody shilling in your purse
Take me back, take me back to
The old dole queue and the heart attacks
Bobby O’Reilly he got the sack
The days I spent with you
Pack me up and send me back
The Irish bombs the Afghan black
Kissing you by the burning shacks
Those days I spent with you
Take me to that moment when we met in 1983
I saw you, with your brown eyes, you saw me in my surprise
Before they buried you among the factories and foundries
Built one million call centres where all your children work for free
Shine a light, shine a light
Take me back, take me back to
The old dole queue and the heart attacks
Bobby O’Reilly he got the sack
Those days I spent with you
Pack me up and send me back
The Irish bombs the Afghan black
Kissing you by the burning shacks
Those days I spent with you
Take me back, take me back to
The old dole queue and the heart attacks
Bobby O’Reilly he got the sack
Those days I spent with you
Pack me up and send me back
The Irish bombs the Afghan black
Kissing you by the burning shacks
Those days I spent with you
Those days I spent with you
Those days I spent with you
Those days I spent with you
