Luyện nghe bài hát Famine Reynolds Extended Mix

(O'Connor, Clayton, Simenon, Reynolds)

[The extended version of "Famine", released in 1995, from the "Famine"]

There is more in us than we know about. The famine, which 150 years ago.
It three lifetimes at most. Things that than were handed on from father
to son, from to daughter, down to this day. They are within us now, and we
don deal with them. And it to me, this is what interesting about a lot
of Irish music now, that it is the carrier for this kind of feeling, and for
kind of emotion, that we have no expression for it because politically we
deny it, intellectually we deny it. Our literature ....... deal with this,
our doesn deal with this. But music, it in the music, it seems to me.
The culture can actually carry those things in al of visible ways, in gesture,
in movement, in language, in and in music.

Okay, I want to talk Ireland
Specifically I want to about the "famine"
About the fact there never really was one
was no "famine"
See Irish people were only allowed to eat
All of the food, meat, fish, vegetables,
were shipped out of the country armed guard
To England the Irish people starved
And then in the middle of all
They us money not to teach our children Irish
And so we our history
And this is I think is still hurting me

You see we're like a child that's been
Has to drive out of it's head because it's frightened
feels all the painful feelings
But they lose contact with the
And this leads to self-destruction
Alcoholism, addiction
All desperate at running
And in it's form
Becomes killing
And if there ever is gonna be
has to be remembering
And then
So there then can be forgiving
There has to be knowledge and

All the people
Where do they all come
All the people
do they all belong

An American regulation
you mustn't kill more than ten percent of a nation
'Cos to do so causes "psychological damage"
It's not but they didn't know that
Anyway the supposed "famine"
We lost a lot more than 10% of our
Through deaths on or on ships of emigration
But what broke us is not starvation
No use in the controlling of our education
go on about "Black 47"
On and on "The terrible famine"
But what they say is in truth
There never was one

All the lonely
Where do they all come
All the people
where do all belong

So take a look can we
The highest statistics of child in the EEC
And we say we're a country
But we've contact with our history
See we used to God as a mother
We're suffering from post stress disorder
Look at all our old men in the
Look at all our young on drugs
We used to worship God as a
Now look at what doing to each other
We've made killers of ourselves
The most child-like trusting people in the
And is what's wrong with us
Our history books the parent figures to us
I see the
As a race like a
That got itself smashed in the
And if there ever is be healing
has to be remembering
And then
So that there then can be
has to be knowledge and understanding

All the lonely
Where do they all come
All the people
do they all belong
All the lonely
Where do all come from
(That I can you in one word)
All the lonely
do they all belong

And if there is gonna be healing
has to be remembering
And then
So that there can be forgiving
There has to be and understanding

And if there ever is be healing
There has to be
And grieving
So there then can be forgiving
There has to be knowledge and

We on the brink of a great achievement
In this Ireland is no solution
To be found to our
By shooting other

Because of our tradition here knows who he is
and God expects him to do

Forgiveness,

Yes
And

Equate, be


Yes
And

(repeat the several times)
