Many's the Time (In Dublin) Songtext
von Tim Finn

T. Finn-O′Maonlai-White

Many's the time I′d do anything just to belong
Many's the time what I did I would feel to be wrong
I was only trying too hard
Just to belong
I was only trying too hard

The wind pulled the water
Bonfire burning high
You took me in your arms
And told me I could cry
I didn't want to hurt you
I felt something was wrong
I didn′t mean to want you
Just to belong


First we got turned away
Then we got welcomed in
First we got turned away
Then we got welcomed in
I was only trying too hard
A place to begin
I was only trying too hard

We drove past the nightclub
In a beaten up old car
The man on the door said
"Do we know who you you are?"
They gave us fruit cocktails
That we didn′t want to drink
Techno music coming through
I started to think

Where are the people
That we welcomed in
Where is the place
The place to begin
It's got to be someone
It′s got to be now

Many's the time I′d do anything just to belong
Many's the time what I did I would feel to be wrong
I was only trying too hard
Just to belong
I was only trying too hard


I made it my purpose
I made it my plan
The rulers of the world
Would never understand
You are my dancing queen
I wanna hear you sing
The day that you do
I′ll be your dancing king

First we got turned away
Then we got welcomed in
First we got turned away
Then we got welcomed in
I was only trying too hard
A place to begin
I was only trying too hard

And if my words were stars
I'd send you a skyful
It felt so good
It felt so easy
It felt so good
It felt so easy
