Howard Moss - Outside The Pale lyrics
Your rating:
We grew up in a small town just outside the pale 30 miles from Dublin riding with the rails The times they were the eighties when things were kinda tough Where jobs they weren't many we tried from dawn till dusk The rain it kept on pouring, pouring down on us Drowning in the darkness it washed away the dust Our hearts they were afflicted and heavy with the load Still so dark and lonely it's a story long been told Outside the pale, without fail, they've ruined all of us Outside the pale, without fail, they betrayed our trust The boom it started coming and change was on the cards Then people started moving and swimming with the sharks Greed to be the downfall of the tiger as he roared Then back towards the old times like before We left to move to Boston as my father did before We had nothing in our pockets just pennies for our thoughts So we went and packed our suitcase and headed for the plane Hoping for a new start and let go of this pain Outside the pale, without fail, they've ruined all of us Outside the pale, without fail, they betrayed our trust Outside the pale, without fail, they've ruined all of us Outside the pale, without fail, they betrayed our trust
