Текст песни Plastic (Paul O'Brien) с переводом

I have the wrong accent

and I sing the wrong anthem

It’s not my fault

but I’ve lived with the shame

You just can’t belong to

a six week long summer

September always comes knocking again

60's depression fuelled the diaspora

Did they think they would stay

for a year and a day?

My past is no different

But the bridge it is broken

Was flesh and blood

Become plastic instead

Now I can put them together again

Birmingham Irish I am I am

The fate of our fathers are lived by the children

New York Irish I am

Grew up through the ‘troubles'

consumed by two cultures

We never called home

the place were we lived

I grew up in a city,

the city of workers

and sang in the bars

songs of my mother and father

You screamed out for Michael

as the river flowed faster

You sang out for Ray

when the lions he tamed

But when I sang in Digbeth

you called me plastic

Am I so different

never to be the same?

Now I can put them together again

Manchester Irish I am I am

The fate of our fathers are lived by the children

Boston Irish I am

Drinking in London the football fans mingle

Everyone dressed in the Green, White and Gold

But because of an accent bones they were broken

On the same side but not sharing a home.

Plastic is made by a coming together

of culture and time and necessities hand

Lasting forever and changing for better

Blessed with a future and blessed with a plan

Now I can put them together again

Glasgow Irish I am I am

The fate of our fathers are lived by the children

Toronto Irish I am
