Belfast Songtext

von Elton John

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Belfast" von Elton John handelt von den Schwierigkeiten und der Gewalt, die in Belfast, Nordirland herrsch...

Deep inside
My soul fights a war
I can't explain
I can't cross over any more
All I see are dirty faces
Rain and wire
And common sense in pieces
But I try to see thruogh Irish eyes
Belfast

Look outside
Summer's lost and gone
It's a long walk
On a street of right and wrong
In every inch of sadness
Rocks and tanks
Go hand in hand with madness
But I never saw a braver place
Belfast

And it's sad when they sing
And hollow ears listen
Of smoking black roses
On a street of Belfast
And so say your lovers
From under the flowers
Every foot of this world
Needs an inch of Belfast

Who's to say
On whom heaven smiles
Our different ways
We try hard to recognize
No more enchanted evenings
The pubs are closed
And all the ghosts are leaving
But you'll nveer let them shut you down
Belfast

And it's sad...

The enemy is not at home
A jealous green
Streaks down this faulty diamond
No blooy boots or crucifix
Can ever hope to split this emerald island
But I never saw a braver place
Belfast
