| Once I saw the river clean |
| Distant future, wait for me |
| I grow pleasing to the eye |
| And the queue will queue for me |
| Once I saw the river clean |
| Soon the clock will strike for me |
| Childish mind anticipates |
| Grown-up mind consummates |
| I walked with my grandmother |
| Down a windblown Chester Road |
| With her fifty-two new pence |
| For her twenty number-tens |
| And my forty-five pence too |
| Demand «Metal Guru» |
| Once with hearts securely stacked |
| Then we walked all the way back |
| I walked with my grandmother |
| Along the groan of Talbot Road |
| In the gardens by the graves |
| I can just about behave |
| Arrogant and paranoid |
| All around, see fathead youth |
| Look into their brutal eyes |
| But only if you want the truth |
| Once I saw the river clean |
| Scratching up the latest scheme |
| Time will come but it hasn’t yet |
| Someone’s out to get me |
| I walked with my grandmother |
| Cornbrook Street, where incomplete |
| She would never be again |
| A Dublin dancer, free and young |
