Luyện nghe bài hát Famine Reynolds Extended Mix

(O'Connor, Clayton, Simenon, Reynolds)

[The extended version of "Famine", released in 1995, the cd-single "Famine"]

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

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

You see like a child that's been battered
Has to drive itself out of head because it's frightened
Still all the painful feelings
But lose contact with the memory
And this to massive self-destruction
Alcoholism, drug
All desperate at running
And in it's worst
actual killing
And if ever is gonna be healing
There has to be
And then
So that then can be forgiving
There has to be and understanding

All the lonely
Where do they all come
All the lonely
Where do they all

An American regulation
you mustn't kill more than ten percent of a nation
'Cos to do so causes "psychological damage"
not permanent but they didn't know that
Anyway the supposed "famine"
We lost a lot more 10% of our nation
Through deaths on land or on ships of
But what finally 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 don't say is in truth
There never was one

All the lonely
Where do all come from
All the lonely
where do all belong

So let's a look can we
The highest statistics of abuse in the EEC
And we say we're a country
But we've contact with our history
See we to worship God as a mother
We're suffering post traumatic stress disorder
Look at all our old men in the
Look at all our young on drugs
We to worship God as a mother
Now look at what we're doing to other
even made killers of ourselves
The most child-like people in the Universe
And this is wrong with us
Our history the parent figures lied to us
I see the
As a like a child
That got smashed in the face
And if there is gonna be healing
There has to be
And grieving
So that there then can be
has to be knowledge and understanding

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

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

And if ever is gonna be healing
has to be remembering
And grieving
So that there can be forgiving
has to be knowledge and understanding

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

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

Forgiveness,

Yes
And

Equate, be


Yes
And

(repeat the several times)
