The Lyrics
Thanks to my younger brother, David, for helping me write this version.
Mull of Kintyre (The Truth)
Mull of Kintyre, oh oil rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to leave here
Oh Mull of Kintyre.
Far have I travelled and much have I seen:
Clacton and Brighton and Blackpool arn't clean,
But setting new standards for filth and barbed wire
Is the stagnant cesspit called the Mull of Kintyre.
Mull of Kintyre, oh oil rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to leave here
Oh Mull of Kintyre.
Barbed wire and barrels and bits of debris
Carry me back to the shore from the sea
Swimming through plastic and fish who've expired
In the life and the death of the Mull of Kintyre.
Mull of Kintyre, oh oil rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to leave here
Oh Mull of Kintyre.
Cold, tired, and windswept, and tears in the rain
Still take me back where my memories remain
Mountains of rubbish grow higher and higher
In that birthplace of nightmares: the Mull of Kintyre.
Mull of Kintyre, oh oil rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to leave here
Oh Mull of Kintyre. x2
Mull of Kintyre, oh oil rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to leave here
Oh Mull of Kintyre.
Far have I travelled and much have I seen:
Clacton and Brighton and Blackpool arn't clean,
But setting new standards for filth and barbed wire
Is the stagnant cesspit called the Mull of Kintyre.
Mull of Kintyre, oh oil rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to leave here
Oh Mull of Kintyre.
Barbed wire and barrels and bits of debris
Carry me back to the shore from the sea
Swimming through plastic and fish who've expired
In the life and the death of the Mull of Kintyre.
Mull of Kintyre, oh oil rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to leave here
Oh Mull of Kintyre.
Cold, tired, and windswept, and tears in the rain
Still take me back where my memories remain
Mountains of rubbish grow higher and higher
In that birthplace of nightmares: the Mull of Kintyre.
Mull of Kintyre, oh oil rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to leave here
Oh Mull of Kintyre. x2
