The Ghosts of Belfast

Jimmy I've got it now

I'd rather be dead

Than take what I'm given

Or eat what I'm fed

Well I can't help myself

Sometimes it's true

But nothing came easy

for me or for you[Chorus]

You'll be a long time in the grave

And you can't live in the past

Let's lay down to rest

All the ghosts of Belfast

I've got my reasons

I've got my pride

My glass is half full

But it's cracked on the side

I wish I could take back

The things that I said

Never mind there's better times

Just up ahead[Chorus]Maybe I've learned enough

Maybe I can reach

I wish I could practice

The things that I preach

It's hard to get on now

I've taken a belt

The hardest of all

Is to live with yourself[Chorus] (2x)
