:...LYRICS...:

Dublin was a slum
I know 
For some
When they were young
But I am just another one
Concerned with
The consistency of mud from which we've grown
The pretty girls that I have known
The greediness that binds the bones
Of everyone I've ever loved
And ever will learn to love

Folks who'd criticise
The horror film I call my life
Would half be wrong
And half be right
But I have always pitied those
Who fail to see
That all beauty is born
In the hearts of those who try
Yes
I am just another crybaby
Searching for a spotlight
In the dark
And in your eyes

Even those closest to me
Wince in my company
Living in some sort of
Abject poverty
Everything that you need
Don't you dare come to me
'Cause self sufficiency's in
Short supply

Worshipping big names
But "too intelligent" for fame
Yes I avoid video games
For fear of
Wasting a second of the day
But when it's done
I'm just another bastard son
Broken finger on a trigger
Of a gun I've held since day one
Day one

I am on the verge of a mistake
I never learn
To love the bandage
Not the burn
To take the
The slow release and not the rush
Don't think too much
The flashing lights and the
Unce unce unce
The fleshy dance and burning bush
I am conversing with a 
Vacancy in the clouds

Even those closest to me
Wince in my company
Can you believe it
Such a tragedy
So everything that you need
Don't you dare come to me
'Cause self sufficiency's in
Short supply

It's in short supply.

Even those closest to me
Wince in my company
Can you believe it's such
A mystery to me
Everything that you need
Don't you dare come to me
'Cause self sufficiency's in
Short supply

Dublin was a slum
But on the western side of town
They took communion on their tongues
And prayed to
Some sacred saviour from above
For all he'd done
For all the misery to come
And here am I cursing someone
For misdemeanours carried out
In the name of
Damaged love
