Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Flight of the Earls 
I can hear the bells of Dublin in this lonely waiting room And the Paper-boys are singing in the rain Not be long before they take us to the Airport and the noise To get onboard a Trans-Atlantic plane 
We've got 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 McAlpines 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 you're 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 All we're missing is the Guiness and the rain 
So switch off your new Computers cos 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 North Wall 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 back to you again
