Lyrics:

I was born in England
Red and white, with just the merest shade of green
As a child I took the night boat
And woke up to a vivid change of scene
From ‘Land of hope and glory’
To ‘Amhran na Bhfiann’
I’m neither one thing or the other
But something in between

Ivan, he’s from Portadown
He swears his allegiance to the Queen
Each summer, marches with his friends
Down the road towards Drumcree
His speech is laced with emerald
But his world is tangerine
He’s neither one thing or the other
But something in-between

Klara lives in Dublin
Her mother’s name it is Maureen
Her daddy’s name is Nikolai
He works nights at the Hospital canteen
There’s lots like her at school
She’s not unusual you see
Being neither one thing or the other
But something in0between

Tommy he’s from Drogheda
Say’s he hates every English man he sees
He’s lost his faith in politics
The war is not yet over til we’re free
While he been working down in London
Back home things have changed in ways he’d
Not believe
They’re neither one thing or the other
But something in-between

Well ,I don’t know where we’re headed
Who can blame us, how could we have foreseen
The world is getting smaller
The old rod of iron has turned to plasticine
We’ve only got the future
We can’t go back to who we’ve been
We’re neither one thing or another
But something in-between
We’re neither one thing or the other
But something in-between
