CHRISTMAS EVE IN DUBLIN Songtext
von Tommy Keyes

One-eyed Paul the barman pours a pint of plain
For another late arrival still dripping with the rain
The loungebar Casanova makes a grab for Anna Mae
She gathers up the glasses as she pushes him away
Just the same old faces, just the same old show
Christmas Eve in Dublin, they say it looks like snow


Carol singers pass the door afraid to show their face
One-eyed Paul would run them - "there′s no music in this place"
The broken television is silent on the wall
It hasn't worked in years if it ever worked at all
Like some people in here if the truth were told
Christmas Eve in Dublin, they say it looks like snow

The street outside is noisy though it′s getting very late
What's the bets it's Bono busking with his mates?
Christmas it′s for giving as everybody knows
I should have bought a present but now the shops are closed
I′ll finish up my drink - just one more for the road
Christmas Eve in Dublin, they say it looks like snow
Christmas Eve in Dublin, they say it looks like snow
