Lyrics

[00:00.00] On The Bridge (桥上)-Christy Moore
[00:09.521] There's thirty people on the bridge
[00:13.401] And they're standing in the rain
[00:20.549] They caught my eye as I passed them by
[00:24.679] They tried to explain
[00:31.679] Why they were standing there
[00:36.39] I did not want to hear
[00:42.609] When trouble gets too close to home
[00:46.919] My anger turns to fear
[00:58.549] With my eyes turned to the ground I moved along
[01:10.639] I covered up my ears and I held my tongue
[01:20.338] The rain poured down relentlessly upon the picket line
[01:31.468] And the empty words fell from my lips
[01:35.998] “Your troubles are not mine ”
[01:42.438] Though the rain it made the colours
[01:46.368] Run the message it was plain
[01:52.187] Women are being strip searched in Armagh jail
[02:07.146] We kneel in adoration before effigies of stone
[02:18.526] Our eyes turned to heaven blind to what's going on
[02:29.626] Six women hold a naked woman
[02:34.156] Pinned down on the floor
[02:41.65] Without trial or jury like a prisoner of war
[02:51.924] Though the rain it made the colours run
[02:56.504] The message it was plain
[03:02.53] Women are being strip searched
[03:06.72] In Armagh Jail
[03:11.932] Though the rain it made the colours run
[03:16.512] The message it was plain
[03:21.962] Women are being strip searched
[03:25.372] In Armagh and Brixton Jail
