Flight Of Earls - Barleycorn, the 1989 album The International http://www.amazon.co.uk/Song-Ireland-... I can hear the bells of Dublin In this lonely waiting room And the paper boys are singing in the rain Not too long before They take us to the airport And the noise to get on board a transatlantic plane We've have nothing left to stay for We have no more left to say And there isn't any work for us to do So farewell you boys and girls Another bloody flight of Earls Our best asset is our best export too It's not murder, fear or famine that makes us leave this time We're not going to join McAlpine's fusiliers We've got brains and we've got vision We've got education too But we just can't throw away these precious years So we walk the streets of London And the streets of Baltimore And we meet at night in several Boston bars We're the leaders of the future But we're far away from home And we dream of you beneath the Irish stars As we look on Ellis Island And the Lady in the Bay And Manhattan turns to face another Sunday We just wonder what your doing to bring us all back home As we look forward to another Monday Because it's not the work that scares us We don't mind an honest job And we know things will get better once again So a thousand times adieu We've got Bono and U2 now all we're missing is the Guinness and the rain So switch off our new computers Because the writing's on the wall We're leaving as our fathers did before Take a look at Dublin airport Or the boat that leaves Northwall There'll be no youth unemployment anymore Because we're over here in Queensland And in parts of New South Wales We're on the seas and airways and the trains But if we see better days Those big airplanes go both ways And we'll all be coming home to you again
