tell me what you please
this place is a squeeze
your guess is as good as mine
sell me other dreams, oh! the summer's here
you know we're going down the line
you know we're going down the line
taking all the pieces in the situation
hoping we can work it out
with fate on your side, luck and some pride
you are on the right line
it'll be a sure sign
in fortune's hand
where do we stand?
in fortune's hand
there isn't a nobel or a humble person
who isn't up or down a while
throw caution to the wind
leave your cares behind
you know we're going down the line
you know we're going down the line
tell me what you please
this place is a squeeze
your guess is as good as mine
sell me other dreams, oh! the summer's here
you know we're going down the line
you know we're going down the line
in fortune's hand
where do we stand?
in fortune's hand
way up there in the poison glen
the sun's going down on the misty mountain
and I'm watching
and wondering
feeling something from long ago
haunted echo that surrounds the glen
the heather creeping through
the burned out ruins
and I'm watching
and wondering
feeling spirits of long ago
who in the valley shed the poison tear?
no one knows
an old legend of a mythical hero
and I'm watching
and wondering
feeling something from long ago
may this vale be my silver lining
pleasing nature with a heart's desire
the burned out ruins
and I'm watching
and wondering
feeling everything from long ago
why must I worry
try not hurry like other people
why must I worry
'cos you know yourself
that is not the way
who am I to tell you lies
and then say I didn't mean it at all
you see me, you hear me
but you don't know what I'm saying
you feel it, you take it
in your stride
why must I worry
try not hurry like other people
why must I worry
'cos you know yourself
that is not the way
when you call me
and talk about the yesterdays
it cheers me, it steers me
to follow better reason
to feel it, to take it in our stride
why must I worry
try not hurry like other people
why must I worry
'cos you know yourself
that is not the way
why worry, why worry
try not to hurry, try not to hurry
why must I worry
'cos you know yourself
that is not my way
ag úirchill a' chreagáin sea chodail mise 'réir faoi bhrón
is le héirí na maid'ne tháinig ainnir fá mo dhéin le póig
bhí gríosghrua garth' aici 'gus loinhir ina ciabh mar ór
's ba é íochshláinte 'n domhain a bheith amharc ar a' ríoghan oig
a fhiafhir charthanaigh, ná caitear thusa 'néalta
ach éirigh go tapaidh agus aistrigh liom siar sa ród
go tír dheas na meala nach bhfuair galla intí réim go fóill
's gheobhair aoibhneas ar hallaí 'mo mhealladhsa le siamsa ceoil
a ríoghan is deise 'n tú hélen fa'r treaghdadh slóigh
no dó na naoi mná deasa, pharnassus thú 'bhí déanta gcló?
cé'n tír ins a'chruinne 'n ar hoileadh tú, a réalt gan cheo
le'r mian leat mo shamhrhailsa bheith 'cogarnaigh leat siar sa ród?
you play games in the street
who to trust and who to meet
sweet justice hard to find
say the same with deceit
take no blame in defeat
sweet justice hard to find
all I wanted was love and affection
all I wanted was love and affection
lonely child roams around
as someone else goes underground
all trying to make ends meet
trouble staring, is life so cheap?
all they wanted was love and affection
all they wanted was love and affection
broken dreams in the street
true sensations, the stories leak
sweet justice hard to find
can't simply speak my mind
all I wanted was love and affection
all they wanted was love and affection
all I wanted was love and affection
all they wanted was love and affection
