Bilingual
Dreamed I was back in Belfast
Drinking on the roof of the writers' bar
Kneeling down before the cathedral
Lying on my back making me see stars
Piano player's getting nervous
You were leaning on a chair
Long black dress open to the waist
You were busy curling up your hair
It's so easy to get distracted
It's so hard to cross the line
I dream of other places
I'll get it right this time
Get it right this time
The guitarist's going crazy
He's drinking vodka by the glass
The record store owner telling stories
Ah the time goes by too fast
You took a present from your pocket
With a smile you offered it to me
We were laughing in the evening rain
Not two miles from the sea
It's so easy to get distracted
It's so hard to cross the line
I dream of other women
I'll get it right this time
I'll get it right this time
Took a walk down by the cinema
All along the Dublin Road
Where I first met Maria
And the cars were all set to explode
Joined up with a demonstration
Heading for the centre of town
Banners screaming 'No'
Couldn't wait for the curtain to come down
It's so easy to get distracted
It's so hard to cross the line
I dreamed that night of justice
We'll get it right this time
We'll get it right this time
ย
Get it right this time
Caught a taxi on the corner
Beneath the smashed street light
Took off into the distance
Of the holy Belfast night
Get it right this time
