Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dublin is a city full of good times

Dublin is a city full of dance

Dublin is a city full of music

Poetry, sex and romance

But what it means to me the most

Dublin is a city full of ghosts

Dublin is a city full of tricksters

Dublin is a city full of priests

Dublin is a city full of rumors

Seventy two thousand at least

But what it means to me the most

Dublin is a city full of ghosts

The ghosts of my joy, the ghosts of my tears

The ghosts of my glorious dissolute years

The ghost of adventure wilder than words

The ghost of the night I first made love to her

Dublin is a city full of humor

Dublin is a city full of wit

Dublin is a city full of buskers

Playing old Waterboys hits

But what it means to me the most

Dublin is a city full of ghosts

The ghost of a fiddle, the ghost of a sax

The ghost of a sound that ain't ever coming back

The ghost of a friendship, curdled and sour

The ghost of a time when I still had the power

Dublin is a city full of magic

Dublin is a city full of light

Dublin is a city full of wonder

Dublin is a city full of shite

But what it means to me the most

Dublin is a city full of, city full of ghosts

City full of ghosts
