Rose, she ain’t like the others

she spins, well, some dervish mother

Her bright brown hair and her acorn eyes

she gets me there when she hypnotises

But Brixton leaves me alone

Another drunken evening

Red wine, well, you’re so deceiving

Her photograph is my only friend

Well, this one wild year just won’t seem to end

And Brixton leaves me alone

The sun will rise once more

Well, it better

The sun will rise once more

If we let her

But Brixton leaves me alone

Just one more night in London

And Home, well, is a distant drumlin’

With it’s ‘No retreat’ and ‘Our time has come’

Well, just fuck those fifes and damn those drums

Yeah Belfast leave me alone

The sun will rise once more

Well, it better

The sun will rise once more

If we let her

The sun will rise once more

Well, it better

The sun will rise once more

If we let her

But Brixton leaves me alone
