London Irish Lyrics - Divine Comedy

They sit, and watch the clouds go by 

And make believe it's Irish skies 

They love the sun, but pray for rain 

They drink to take away the pain 

The London streets are paved with gold 

For the London Irish 

You gain the world and you lose your soul 

Well if your picture is seen on the cover of every magazine 

And every TV screen, will there be anything left 

Of the London Irish?
