    Lyrics:
    The more that I see, the less I believe
    The barbed wire fences have replaced all the trees
    The houses of God are full of sinners every week
    Praying for forgiveness for those they leave to bleed
    And they keep telling me, it's not my concern
    But when petrol bombs fly, when cars overturn
    When your see children cry because the cities are burning
    Who's gonna show concern
    Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
    Close your eyes but it won't go away (Belfast)
    Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
    Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
    But the more that I see, the less I believe
    Like countries split in two through religion, tradition, and greed
    The devil's passed his hand those who have soultions
    And those like me too ignorant to find my own conclusions
    Is that what they're telling me, it's not my concern
    But when I see children crying 'cause that's all they can do
    They are crying for help and they're looking at you
    What are you supposed to do?
    Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
    Close your eyes but it won't go away (Belfast)
    Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
    Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
    The governing powers are confused, the armies becoming bemused
    Another bomb becomes defused and the terrorists aren't amused
    Paisley is getting his shirt off, Sein Fien are going insane
    They strike to divide the countryside but the borderline remains
    Another attack leaves a widow in black, grieving for brereaved
    Another kid with a brick gets shot in the back and gets left on the pavement to bleed
    And they keep telling me, it's not my concern
    It's not my concern, it's not my concern
    Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
    Close your eyes but it won't go away (Belfast)
    Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
    Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast's only half an hour away)

      What a sad day, the day he passed. Struck a chord in the hearts of many of us younger generation in that day. Privileged to have heard and enjoyed his music.

    Im from Belfast, i met the guys when i was on holiday in Isle of Man around the time the song came out. Had a chat about the lyrics, they came across like they really cared about NI. Absolute gentlemen. RIP Terry. Saw Neville's gig with the Undertones in Belfast last night. A great show 👏👏👏

    Loved seeing David Byrne from Talking Heads there as the weather man at the end there. He produced Waiting, the second FB3 Album in which this was the first single released from it.

    the lyrics, that bass (when turned loud) and The Godly ghostly voice of Terry sends shivers down my whole nervous system everytime i hear it, Terry has blown my head off metaphorically in so many songs, one of the gods amongst men, turned his abuse as a child into a positive and not a negative, or more so into a power. Long into the future if people look back at the 70s and 80s as being the best pop music eras ever then they will be on the right path, music to last eternity. Things don't age when they are original and sound timeless and the lyrics are relevant as Terrys always are.

    Lyrics are brilliant on this song, I remember using these on some school project or other about politics or the situation in Ireland, too long ago now to recall - I put a boot stamp across the page and the UK/Ireland map there with the lyrics on it. I clearly remember it being put on the wall by the teacher. I think back now and Terry Hall helped voice so many proper subjects to the younger generation and the country as a whole... #RIP

    Great record. If my memory serves me correctly, this was released at approximately the same time as War Crimes by The Special AKA. Two brilliant, unashamedly political records that unsurprisingly received minimal BBC Radio play.

  • @chrisr5499
    @chrisr5499 Год назад +2

    It's like The Specials have never went away and should of been a bigger hit and debuted the same week as The Special A.K.A. War Crimes.

    They never played this song on radio stations in America when this song was first released. Let us get real how bigoted Americans are. It's not racism but homophobia that prevented this song being played on radio stations in America.
