Dublin Lyrics - Prefab Sprout

Who does not adore the sound 

Of music in the name of towns 

To build a city on such picturesque ground 

That takes some sort of flair 

We draw a line the ink is fear 

You stay that side we'll stay here 

It's far harder to keep it up 

Than to tear it down 

Does it take you back to the kind of world 

Hindsight calls the good old days? 

Now that there's no room in an Einstein world 

For simple cause and effect 

Dublin Dublin home of pretty Coleens 

Dublin Dublin, nurse of such bitter dreams 

Behind the soft and peachy skin 

Where D.N.A. or God begin 

Where sub-Gaelic rot sets in 

With stories from your mother 

In myths and less exalted forms 

The heady cocktail glory is born 

You know it's not a bottled storm 

So why do you indulge it? 

Dublin Dublin home of pretty Coleens 

Dublin Dublin, nurse of such bitter dreams
