Jimmy I've got it now
I'd rather be dead
Than take what I'm given
Or eat what I'm fed
Well I can't help myself
Sometimes it's true
But nothing came easy
for me or for you
[Chorus]
You'll be a long time in the grave
And you can't live in the past
Let's lay down to rest
All the ghosts of Belfast
I've got my reasons
I've got my pride
My glass is half full
But it's cracked on the side
I wish I could take back
The things that I said
Never mind there's better times
Just up ahead
[Chorus]
Maybe I've learned enough
Maybe I can reach
I wish I could practice
The things that I preach
It's hard to get on now
I've taken a belt
The hardest of all
Is to live with yourself
[Chorus] (2x)
