CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE

 

Right from the beginning

Right from the very start

They said we could not be together

And they said we must part

What is the reason

I don’t understand

We were meant for each other

It’s not yours to command

 

(chorus)

Caught in the middle

Or so it would seem

Caught in limbo

Of some place in between

 

(instrumental interlude)

 

Neither would Pastor Paddy

Nor could Father Green

Explain to us the difference

Of what did it all mean

They said we were born on

The other side of the tracks

And so, should consider

Those to be the facts.

 

(chorus)

So, there you find us

Caught in between

Right in the middle

Of a very bad dream

 

We are all God’s children

Whether black, yellow or white

All were born equal

In His sight

 

So, what is the difference

Whether we’re orange or green

Or for that matter

Any colour in between

 

(chorus)

Alone in the middle

Somewhere in between

Somewhere in the middle

Of the Orange and Green

 

Star struck lovers

Stuck in between.

 

(instrumental interlude)

 

Star struck lovers

Stuck in between

They said we lost our reason

Whatever could they mean

For unlike poor Juliet

We’ll never give up the fight

We shall simply vanish

One starry night.

 

We shall give no notice

Of when we are to depart

We’ll leave old Ireland forever

Bound for a brand new start.

 

(instrumental outro)
