Divorce Irish Style - Gilbert O'Sullivan

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 anew

You love each other surely

Well at least you used to do

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
