Gilbert O'Sullivan Lyrics
"Divorce Irish Style"

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 a new
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
