Divorce Irish Style Lyrics

In answer to your question
You've made a big mistake
But in the eyes of God
That's a risk you have to take
Divorce Irish style
Unless of course your privileged
With a cardinal up your sleeve
Hope of an annulment is
Unlikely to succeed
Divorce Irish style

How can two people live together
When they've fallen out of love
Are we so blind
As to reject the pain they fell
What right has anyone to say you must
Even God himself can't be the judge
We've only one life after all
And if it's not our fault
Why can't we be released
Something must be done
And that something must be done urgently
Forget it ever happened
Go away and start anew

You love each other surely
Well at least you used to do
Divorce Irish style

How can two people live together
When they've fallen out of love
Are we so blind
As to reject the pain they fell
What right has anyone to say you must
Even God himself can't be the judge
We've only one life after all
And if it's not our fault
Why can't we be released
Something must be done
And that something must be done urgently
Think about the children
After all they must come first
Okay she's found another man
Oh well it could be worse
Divorce Irish style
