Many's The Time (In Dublin) - Tim Finn

Many’s the time I’d do anything just to belong

Many’s the time what I did I would feel to be wrong

I was only trying too hard

Just to belong

I was only trying too hard

The wind pulled the water

Bonfire burning high

You took me in your arms

And told me I could cry

I didn’t want to hurt you

I felt something was wrong

I didn’t mean to want you

Just to belong

First we got turned away

Then we got welcomed in First we got turned away

Then we got welcomed in I was only trying too hard

A place to begin

I was only trying too hard

We drove past the nightclub

In a beaten up old car

The man on the door said

«Do we know who you you are?»

They gave us fruit cocktails

That we didn’t want to drink

Techno music coming through

I started to think

Where are the people

That we welcomed in Where is the place

The place to begin

It’s got to be someone

It’s got to be now

Many’s the time I’d do anything just to belong

Many’s the time what I did I would feel to be wrong

I was only trying too hard

Just to belong

I was only trying too hard

I made it my purpose

I made it my plan

The rulers of the world

Would never understand

You are my dancing queen

I wanna hear you sing

The day that you do

I’ll be your dancing king

First we got turned away

Then we got welcomed in First we got turned away

Then we got welcomed in I was only trying too hard

A place to begin

I was only trying too hard

And if my words were stars

I’d send you a skyful

It felt so good

It felt so easy

It felt so good

It felt so easy
