Karaoké Summer In Dublin Bagatelle

Take me away from this city and leave me to where I can be on my own

I wanted to see you and now that I have

I just wanna be left alone

I'll always remember your kind words

And I'll still remember your name

But I've seen you changing and turning

And I know that things just won't be the same

I remember that summer in Dublin

And the Liffey as it stank like hell

And the young people walking down Grafton Street everyone looking so well

I was singing a song I heard somewhere called rock'n'roll never forget

When my humming was smothered by the fourty-six A

And the scream of a low flying jet

So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire

Stopping off to pick up my guitar

When a drunk on a bus told me how to get rich

I was glad we weren't going too far

So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning

Trying to find a place where I can hear

The wind and the birds and the sea and the rocks

And where open roads are always out there

And if sometimes I tire of the quiet

And I wanna walk back up that hill

I just get on the road and I stick out my thumb

'Cos I know for sure you'll be there still

I remember that summer in Dublin

And the Liffey as it stank like hell

And the young people walking down Grafton Street everyone looking so well

I was singing a song I heard somewhere called rock'n'roll never forget

When my humming was smothered by the fourty-six A

And the scream of a low flying jet

So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire

Stopping off to pick up my guitar

When a drunk on a bus told me how to get rich

I was glad we weren't going too far

I remember that summer in Dublin
