Dreamed I was back in Belfast Drinking on the roof of the writers' bar Kneeling down before the cathedral Lying on my back making me see stars Piano player's getting nervous You were leaning on a chair Long black dress open to the waist You were busy curling up your hair It's so easy to get distracted It's so hard to cross the line I dream of other places I'll get it right this time Get it right this time The guitarist's going crazy He's drinking vodka by the glass The record store owner telling stories Ah the time goes by too fast You took a present from your pocket With a smile you offered it to me We were laughing in the evening rain Not two miles from the sea It's so easy to get distracted It's so hard to cross the line I dream of other women I'll get it right this time I'll get it right this time Took a walk down by the cinema All along the Dublin Road Where I first met Maria And the cars were all set to explode Joined up with a demonstration Heading for the centre of town Banners screaming 'No' Couldn't wait for the curtain to come down It's so easy to get distracted It's so hard to cross the line I dreamed that night of justice We'll get it right this time We'll get it right this time ♪ Get it right this time Caught a taxi on the corner Beneath the smashed street light Took off into the distance Of the holy Belfast night Get it right this time
