Oh Bláthnaid baby I hate to say
Daddy melted all your flowers every goddamn day
By the park at school
One thing they're sure to teach you is it
Pays to be cruel
And your mother needs some loving
And this town's just about crumbling
And yeah I know we did it to ourselves
And we apologise profusely
The rain don't fall like it used to
This was paradise
Oh Bláthnaid baby
Everything we thought would turn to gold
Age sixteen now you're the session queen
It's time to hit the town to get your white lightning
Looks like we did you a favour
No need for phishing kiddo
The Liffey's intoxicated with some chemical waste and
The pubs on the quays are closing
Everybody's got their hands in
They're drinking drinking
Just before the flood
And we apologise profusely
The rain don't fall like it used to
And this was paradise oh Bláthnaid baby
Everything we thought would turn to gold
And we apologise oh little Rosie
The rain don't fall like it used to my dear
And this was paradise oh Bláthnaid baby
Everything we thought would turn to gold
