Live recording from the RTÉ/South Wind Blows Television Series 'Other Voices'

lyrics

Nowhere [o'farrell/macclancy]

I’ve heard them - the orange drums
Rapping out their battle cry.
Metaphoric guns rapping in July.
Then the crucifixes and the beads
And the twisted hands weaving Bridgets' Reeds
Recalling the Black and Tans.
Round the cemetery by the church flowers of hatred bloom
While the still living march to a dead pipers tune.

I’ve heard them - the orange drums
Rapping out their battle cry.
Metaphoric guns rapping in July.
Then the crucifixes and the beads
And the twisted hands weaving Bridget's Reeds
Recalling the Black and Tans.
Their dreams are old and senile as a wreath marks the end of another life.
The men in black shoot their salute as the crowd turn from the wife.
And the prime minister and the prince go back to where the others came from.
Another death is offered to God as Belfast wakes to another dawn.
