Mick Fitzgerald - Ballad Of Capel Street Lyrics

Saturday down with old men in the bar
talking big money holding on to a star
and the name of the horse is" a wing and a prayer"
and he's going to do it this time.
While the dirty old river goes crawling away
through the cold heart of morning
to the end of the day.
Just once in a lifetime is all that it takes
and he's going to do it this time.

refrain
And the world's upside-down on the far side of town
a street carnival with a merry-go-round.
He moves through the streets,he studies the form
and he's going to do it this time.
12 CD's for the Price of 1
Saturday night blowing papers around
The whole world's asleep and no dreams to be found.
He's drunk beside the river he's close to the ground
singing some song to the wind.
A song on the streets with a voice wearing thin
it bounces off windows three sheets in the wind.
Just once in a lifetime is all that it takes
and he dident do it this time.

refrain
He sings alive-alive oh,alive-alive oh
He wont know in the morning
but that's how it goes
He sings alive-alive oh,alive-alive oh
He dident do it this time.
repeat
