Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album made in england<br><br>Deep inside my soul fights a war<br>I can't explain, I can't cross over any more<br>All I see are dirty faces<br>Rain and wire, and common sense in pieces<br>But I try to see through irish eyes<br>Belfast<br><br>Look outside, summer's lost and gone<br>It's a long walk on a street of right and wrong<br>In every inch of sadness<br>Rocks and tanks go hand in hand with madness<br>But I never saw a braver place<br>Belfast<br><br>And it's sad when they sing, and hollow ears listen<br>Of smoking black roses, on the streets of belfast<br>And so say your lovers from under the flowers<br>Every foot of this world needs an inch of belfast<br><br>Who's to say on whom heaven smiles<br>Our different ways we try hard to recognise<br>No more enchanted evenings<br>The pubs are closed and all the ghosts are leaving<br>But you'll never let them shut you down<br>Belfast<br><br>The enemy is not at home<br>A jealous green streaks down this faulty diamond<br>No bloody boots or crucifix<br>Can ever hope to split this emerald island<br>But I never saw a braver face<br>Belfast
