Once I saw the river clean
Once I saw the river clean
Distant future, wait for me
distant future... wait for me!
I grow pleasing to the eye
I grow pleasing to the eye
And the queue will queue for me
and the queue will queue for me
 
once I saw the river clean
Once I saw the river clean
soon the clock will strike for me
Soon the clock will strike for me

Grown-up mind consummates


I walked with my grandmother
I walked with my grandmother
Down a windblown Chester Road
down a wind-blown Chester Road
With her fifty-two new pence
with her 52 New Pence
For her twenty number-tens
For her twenty Number 10's
 
and my 45 Pence
And my forty-five pence too
to demand 'Metal guru'
Demand metal guru
then with hearts securely stacked
Once with hearts securely stacked
we walked all the way back
Then we walked all the way back


I walked with my grandmother
I walked with my grandmother
Along the groan of Talbot Road
along the groan of Talbot Road
In the gardens by the graves
in the gardens by the graves
I can just about behave
I can just about behave

Arrogant and paranoid
all around see fathead youth
All around, see fathead youth
look into their brutal eyes
Look into their brutal eyes
but only if you want the truth
But only if you want the truth

Once I saw the river clean
Scratching up the latest scheme
scratching up the latest scheme
Time will come but it hasn't yet
time will come - but it hasn't yet
Someone's out to get me
someone's out to get me
 
I walked with my grandmother
I walked with my grandmother
Cornbread street, we're incomplete
Cornbrook Street, where, incomplete
She would never be again
she would never be again
A Dublin dancer, free and young

Lyrics

Once I saw the river clean distant future... wait for me! I grow pleasing to the eye and the queue will queue for me once I saw the river clean soon the clock will strike for me childish mind anticipates grownup mind consummates

I walked with my grandmother down a wind-blown Chester Road with her 52 New Pence For her twenty Number 10's and my 45 Pence to demand 'Metal guru' then with hearts securely stacked we walked all the way back

I walked with my grandmother along the groan of Talbot Road in the gardens by the graves I can just about behave arrogant and paranoid all around see fathead youth look into their brutal eyes but only if you want the truth

Once I saw the river clean scratching up the latest scheme time will come - but it hasn't yet someone's out to get me I walked with my grandmother Cornbrook Street, where, incomplete she would never be again a Dublin dancer free and young
