Most people in Britain support a united independent Ireland

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2001/aug/21/northernireland.northernireland1



Song about the continued British occupation of the north eastern counties of Ireland which denies the Irish people the right of national self-determination.

Thanks to you all for your worldwide support for freedom in Ireland

Song performed by Wings.

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today
Great britian you are tremendous
And nobody knows like me
But really what are you doin
In the land across the sea

Tell me how would you like it
If on your way to work
You were stopped by irish soliders
Would you lie down do nothing
Would you give in, or go berserk

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today

Great britian and all the people
Say that all people must be free
Meanwhile back in ireland
Theres a man who looks like me

And he dreams of God and country
And hes feeling really bad
And hes sitting in a prison
Should he lie down do nothing
Should give in or go mad

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today

  • @firbolg1963 Here in the 'States, it got up to #21 on Billboard's Hot 100 pop-singles chart. McCartney's follow up was "Mary Had A Little Lamb" which was about the only time a song made up completely of a nursery rhyme made the top-40 singles chart here in the US.

    If someone was to ask me, I'd say that independence from both London and Dublin is probably the best solution for the region.
