Well It's a scene straight out of a book
A stolen glance and a misplaced look
But with eyes of blue and a heart of gold
I was sold can't be told any different
A Dublin tale with no legs to run
It's a city that favors some
And the canal's for the wine and ritz
Where the rich go to get their kicks
Like a dog barking up his own tree
You look at him and say that should be me
And the night's where you take your chance
Even pious folks throw out a glance
Five inch heels for the nights down south
For the north you're just glad to get out
Sprawled on the faces of youth
Is the ambition to hide the truth
And the canal's for the wine and ritz
Where the rich go to get their kicks
Like a dog barking up his own tree
You look at him and say that should be me
The truth's gonna set you free
You suffer most what you can't see
The truth's gonna set you free
You suffer most what you can't see
And I find myself back at the divide
Tryna wrestle with the truth and pride
Don't wanna be thrown down to the muck
Don't wanna be thrown down to the
Canal where the wine meets the
Ritz
And the rich go to get their kicks
Like a dog barking up his own tree
You look at him and say that should be me
It's a clear enough day to see
How to love again
The truth's gonna set you free
You suffer most what you can't see
The truth's gonna set you free
You suffer most what you can't see
