The telephone rang and he picked it up
And a voice came to his ear
Saying how he did them wrong
"24 hours you got to live
'Cause a traitor just like you
Is not worthy to be alive!"
Good night Belfast
You're the city of the fall
Playground for some madmen
Wanting freedom and a war
Valve of hell
It takes your blood
No time to sleep and no time to eat
For he's always on the flight
All alone just with his fright
He won't know if he will survive
And he won't know what to do
He just wants to be alive
Good night Belfast
You're the city of the fall
Playground for some madmen
Wanting freedom and a war
Valve of hell
It takes your blood
Night time is the worst time of all
Bullets flying round your head
One will hit you and you're dead
U.K. soldiers shoot your son
And if you ask them for the point
Then they'll say he had a gun
Good night Belfast
You're the city of the fall
Playground for some madmen
Wanting freedom and a war
Valve of hell
It takes your blood
And a voice came to his ear
Saying how he did them wrong
"24 hours you got to live
'Cause a traitor just like you
Is not worthy to be alive!"
