Lyrics and translation
Original
I love you, I love you, I told you I do.
It's all I've ever felt, I've never felt so well.
And if you don't know it, I wrote you this tune to be here loving you when I'm in the tomb. I've headed ahead now from Dublin to
Paris, and if there was sun shining, it was never on me.
So close the rain, so pronounced is the pain.
Yeah.
I love you, imagine a world without you.
It's only ever you, I only think of you. And if it's a blessing, I want it for you.
If I'm lost of a future, I want it with you. System in our heads, you only had it before.
You only open the window, never open up the door.
And I love you, I love you, I told you I do.
Selling genocide and have good pride, I understand.
I had to be there from the start, I had to be the fucking man.
It was a clamour after life, I sucked the ring off every hand. Had them plying me with drink, even met with their demands.
When the cherries lined up, I kept the spoils for myself till I had thirty ways of dying looking at me from the shelf.
Cloud-padded smile I had, a real good child I was.
But this island's run by sharks with children's bones stuck in their jaws. Now the mind is filled with culkies trying to talk you through it all.
Is their mammy been a gay and is their daddy been a fart?
And they say they love the land, but they don't feel it go to waste.
Hold a mirror to their youth and they will only see their face.
Make flowers read like broadsheets, every young man wants to die.
Say it to the man in profits and the bastard whaps boy, and the bastard whaps boy, and the bastard whaps boy.
Say it to him fifty times and still the bastard won't cry, well I lie!
I love you, I love you, I told you I do.
It's all I've ever felt, I've never felt so well.
And if you don't know it, I wrote you this tune to be here loving you when I'm in the tomb.
System in our heads, you only had it before. Echo, echo, echo.
The lights they go, the lights they go, the lights they go. Echo, echo.
Selling genocide and have good pride, I understand.
I had to be there from the start, I had to be the fucking man.
It was a clamour after life, I sucked the ring off every hand. Had them plying me with drink, even met with their demands.
And I loved you like a penny loves the pocket of a priest, and I'll love you till the grass around my gravestone is deceased.
And I'm heading for the culkies, I will tell about it all. About the god of being a gay and I'm the fail of being a fart.
Now the flowers read like broadsheets, every young man wants to die.
Say it to the man in profits and the bastard whaps boy, and the bastard whaps boy, and the bastard whaps boy.
Say it to him fifty times and still the bastard won't cry, well I lie!
