lyrics

When we took over the city
We tried to tell everyone not to be scared
And spare me your pity
If you’re gonna shoot me just shoot me, I swear

No I’m not from here
No I can’t read what my name is printed on
No I’m not like you
No I’m not some girl inspired by loss

The second I open my mouth is the moment my cover is blown
Profound this, account this, and pointing he said:
Give the Countess a cell of her own

And Connolly reminds me
I came to our first meeting with a crown on my head
And I want to be near him
But Connolly’s shot and now Connolly’s dead
No I’m not his lover
No I don’t know the town he was born
But he was my brother
And our parents were country and love of the cause

The second I open my mouth is the moment my cover is blown
Profound this, account this, and pointing he said
Give the Countess a cell of her own

She told me her name so
And I could have sworn she was pulling my leg
But she spoke it with gusto
Asked politely if she could collect her dead
And I know she’s not from here
And I know she’s got something tucked into her belt
But I’ve heard of her father
And I see the resemblance and I’m screaming for help

The second I stand up to fight, the blood rushes out of my side
Profound this, account this, the Countess is shot
But two British officers died!

And Maude wraps her arms around me and says
“Love, we must go on”
I feel less alone when she is near
But remember that Maude is Maude Gonne

No I’m not over it
I’m not as English as I seem
Just let me be one of you
I left my heart on Stephen’s Green

The second I cast my vote is the moment i know it’s all over
Profound this, account this, the Countess in government
But somebody ask where her friends went
