Intro
oooooooo - ooooh We're all the one now
Verse 1
a minor final in Caherlistrane,
He was a Buffer and i was a Sham,
I was full forward and he was full back,
We fought each other to win that match,
And now we meet in a melbourne bar,
those old parish lines seem so thin from afar
I stood on a square while he did a tillage,
Here we are livin' in a global village
Chorus
Oooo-ooo-o-oh we're all the one now
oooo-ooo-o-oh we're all the one
oooo-ooo-o-oh We're all the one now
Verse 2
(same chords)
A travellin' man's son had just settled down,
He was only half welcome in our holy town,
spent all his young summers at the side of the road,
in the light of the stars, a tent for a home,
in the classroom the nuns had a desk for us all,
and one for the tinkers, along by the wall,
i met him today in the shop he was slaggin',
"how're ya keepin?" "ah sure pullin and draggin',"
Chorus
Mid. 8:
oh we've all got hopes, and we've all got dreams,
things we wish we'd done
and everybody's, somebody's,
daughter or son,
Chorus.
Oooo-ooo-o-oh We're all the one (repeat to fade)
