Outside the window the neon flashes
In the morning light Down on the sidewalk there's a woman with a problem But she don't know how to fight She's destitute and broken down She softly whispers is there no one around And no one hears the sound Her knees give way and hit the ground This is the toughest street in town This is the toughest street in town This is the toughest street in town This is the toughest Like a rat in a pack it attacks From the back Through a crack in a track And you take a smack This Jack has had a hard day No one told him it would be like this He's had to score the hard way Working on twenty hour shifts This is the toughest street in town This is the toughest It's tough stuff This is the toughest street around This is the toughest Don't you do down No how It's just another black spot Where far too many people have died It's just another grave yard And there's not too many people left alive This is the toughest Are you tough enough This is the toughest Are you rough enough This is the toughest Can you bluff enough Just a minor misery did me no harm But it's there to warn outside the window The neon is still flashing in the morning light Down on the sidewalk that woman was blown away Out of sight All across the city no one gives a damn All across the city no one seems to understand This is the toughest This is the toughest street in town This is the toughest street around This is the toughest Are you rough enough This is the toughest If I were you I wouldn't come around here-ac |

Valentino's got a booky shop and what he takes
He gives for what he's got And what he's got he says he has not Stole from anyone It's not that he don't tell the truth Or even that he misspent his youth It's just he holds the proof But you know something's wrong Valentino got nowhere to go On his own like Romeo Blow by blow he watches his money go Now he's oh so low It's not that he misses her Or even that he can't resist her It's just that kissing her He feels so strong Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Valentino's in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet Against all the odds he smokes another cigarette Says it helps him to forget He's a nervous wreck It's not that he misses much Or even that he lost his lucky touch It's just that he gambles so much And you know that it's wrong Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Waiting just to catch your eye Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Try to say I told you I told you Waiting for an alibi Waiting just to get you Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Just to say I told you Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my |

It's a tedious existence laying your love on the line
Resistance is useless she can leave at any time I must confess that in my quest I felt depressed and restless But this Casanova's roving days are over more or less With love She broke my heart and made me sad You foolish boy you lost what you had My Mademoiselle I must make my farewell You see Senor I know she don't want me no more I'd like to make that Fraulein mine, mein Fraulein So I'll depart sweetheart and leave you with this line With love She says she won't be back no more With love She says she's leaving for sure My Mademoiselle I'll say farewell No matter where you are, Au Revoir 'Til we meet again, Auf Wiedersehn She wrote it on a letter But it didn't make him feel any better With love She says goodbye, adios, farewell There are those who will spend a lifetime of leisure 'Til the leisure finally takes control And they'll spend their life in search of pleasure Never knowing the treasure that they own There are those who will spend a lifetime in hard labour 'Til the labour breaks both body and soul And they will learn to love their neighbor And be assured of what they own |

Tell me the legends of long ago
When the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the Black Rose Play me the melodies I want to know So I can teach my children, oh Pray tell me the story of young Cuchulainn How his eyes were dark his expression sullen And how he'd fight and always won And how they cried when he was fallen Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land And how her sons died at her own hand And how fools obey commands Oh tell me the legends of long ago Where the mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Will she no come back to me Will she no come back to me Oh Shenandoah I hear you calling Far away you rolling river Roll down the mountain side On down on down go lassie go Oh Tell me the legends of long ago When the kings and queens would dance in the realms of the Black Rose Play me the melodies so I might know So I can tell my children, oh My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love It was a joy that Joyce brought to me While William Butler waits And Oscar, he's going Wilde Ah sure, Brendan where have you Behan? Looking for a girl with green eyes My dark Rosaleen is my only colleen That Georgie knows Best But Van is the man Starvation once again Drinking whiskey in the jar-o Synge's Playboy of the Western World As Shaw, Sean I was born and reared there Where the Mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Is such a long, long way from Tipperary |
