[Chorus]
We shoulda been up there Gerry
Under that spotlight
Singin' the blues with the best of them
Instead of givin' away money
Givin' away money
Givin' away money in the Bank of Ireland today
[Verse 1]
Remember Crowley, that long string of misery
One of the many Manager sons
Now he's making a fortune, over in London
Married to a beautiful Colombian
[Chorus]
We shoulda been up there Gerry
Under that spotlight
Singin' the blues with the best of them
Instead of givin' away money
Givin' away money
Givin' away money in the Bank of Ireland today
[Verse 2]
Remember Pádraig, on the road near Tuar na Fola
Remmeber the gaeilgeoir bitch from Hell?
First she was all over him, then she went and left him
Some people say she's living there still
[Chorus]
We shoulda been up there Gerry
Under that spotlight
Singin' the blues with the best of them
Instead of givin' away money
Givin' away money
Givin' away money in the Bank of Ireland today
[Verse 3]
We often talked about, we often dreamed about
Handing our notice to the foxy boy
We'd walk out that door Gerry, and the sun would be shining
We would be young and our hearts full of joy
[Chorus]
We shoulda been up there Gerry
Under that spotlight
Singin' the blues with the best of them
Instead of givin' away money
Givin' away money
Givin' away money in the Bank of Ireland today
[Verse 4]
As for myself Gerry, I don't like to talk abuot
All of the damage she done to me
It's only now really I can see clearly
It wasn't her at all it was only me
[Chorus]
We shoulda been up there Gerry
Under that spotlight
Singin' the blues with the best of them
Instead of givin' away money
Givin' away money
Givin' away money in the Bank of Ireland today
