Hey hey I’ve retuned my telly okay
Got rid of ITV Wales, S4C
Got Channel 4 back, hopefully to stay
And I’ve got it on just in time to see
‘Hunger’. Northern Ireland, early eighties
Was a shitty time and place, no question
And that’s displayed on the walls of The Maze
In the hunger strike-themed film that’s now on
Since then I’ve visited Northern Ireland
A few times since the truce of Good Friday
The ’98 peace pact that seemed to be
The end of Catholic and Protestant
Enmity. Yet troubles return, they say
To haunt the streets of Armagh and Newry
