Текст песни The House at the Top of the World - Bob Geldof
I
got
off
the
45A
somewhere
around
the
new
estates
which
were
Advertised
as
being
in
Killarney
but
were
really
in
just
a
field.
And
I
was
going
to
the
house
at
the
top
of
the
world.
Brian
Carroll
lived
around
here
somewhere.
And
after
school
I'd
sometimes
go
back
to
his
place
and
sing
with
his
brother
Dermot.
He
knew
all
the
Motown
songs.
Sometimes
I
think
about
Him
and
I
heard
that
he's
a
civil
servant
in
Cork
which
is
Funny
for
a
guy
who
used
to
sing
Motown
songs.
Soon
I'd
come
to
the
Leopardstown
dual
carriageway.
It
was
the
First
motorway
in
Ireland
and
it
was
a
100
yards
long.
I
liked
The
name.
I
don't
remember
a
town
being
there
and
I
never
saw
No
leopards.
But
I
had
to
cross
it
anyway
to
get
to
the
house
At
the
top
of
the
world.
Everyone
thought
the
dual
carriageway
was
the
great
and
modern
and
Every
Saturday
the
bowsies,
yahoos,
guttersnipes
and
corner
boys
Would
empty
out
of
the
pubs
and
scream
like
wild
Saturday
night
Leopards
drunk
and
fast
and
delirious
for
that
blessed
100
yards.
People
were
always
getting
killed.
Well
I
ducked
and
weaved
and
it
was
fun
and
I
made
it
over
and
Up
the
small
road,
past
the
Silver
Tassie,
along
the
river
bank,
Past
the
Proddie
church
and
off
left
up
the
lane
to
the
house
At
the
top
of
the
world
where
you
lived.
Your
mother
in
her
sensible
shoes
and
you
father
in
his
tea-cosy
Wooly
hat,
bright
eyes
and
roomful
of
old
hoarded
yellowing
Newspapers
and
1920's
photos
of
the
Burren
and
you
busy
in
the
Kitchen
half-glad
to
see
me,
half
nervous
with
your
parents
around.
You'd
take
me
for
a
walk
around
the
field
and
down
the
lane
and
When
the
evening
fell
your
father
would
light
the
peat
fire
and
Show
me
pictures
of
the
West
taken
in
the
20's
and
then
he'd
Go
to
bed.
And
the
night
was
full
of
you
and
the
evening
and
the
Peat
fire
in
the
house
on
the
top
of
the
world.
And
then
it
was
time
to
go
and
risk
death
again
in
the
dark
of
The
Leopardstown
dual
carriageway.
And
on
the
way
back
I
felt
I
could
just
jump
the
whole
bloody
thing.
