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
