RISE ABOVE IT

Afrocelts


Cracking walls inside my head

With a bottle full of rain

I promised to the coaster

I wouldn’t tear it up again
Flick a peanut, break a glass

I wish I didn’t sleep at Mass

And everything is closing up

Yet again I come in last



I saw it in a dream

It was another time

Everything was blue

Everything was fine



And you were always there

And I could see clear

I was always yours

You were always mine
Rise above it

Rise above it

Rise above it

I see her on the ceiling

She’s staring down in her gown

I had to make allowances

Between my love and going out

Now everything is closing up

The last call is well asleep

At gigs I dance with a Blue Nun

Now heartburn is going cheap

I saw it in a dream

It was another time

And everything was true

Everything sublime



You were always there

And I could see clear

I was always yours

You were always mine



Rise above it

Rise above it

Rise above it
I saw it in a dreamIt was another timeEverything was true

Everything sublime
You were always there

And I could see clear

I was always yours

You were always mine

Rise above it

Rise above it

Rise above it

Rise above it

Rise above,

Rise above it

Rise above,

Rise above it
Rise above,

Rise above it

Rise above,

Rise above it
Rise above,

Rise above it



I wouldn’t tear it up again

I wouldn’t tear it up again

I wouldn’t tear it up again

I wouldn’t tear it up again

Notes: Special thanks to Simon for explaining to me the line about dancing with a "Blue Nun" at gigs - - a concept that was lost on me due to my cultural ignorance of the ways that certain young adolescents in Europe get drunk. "Blue Nun" is a very cheap Riesling wine from Germany. "Now heart burn is going cheap" is the reward for dancing at gigs with a "blue nun."
