Lyrics
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

Great Britain, you are tremendous
And nobody knows like me
But really, what are you doin'
In the land across the sea?

Tell me, how would you like it
If on your way to work
You were stopped by Irish soldiers?
Would you lie down, do nothing
Would you give in or go berserk?

Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

Great Britain and all the people
Say that all people must be free
And meanwhile back in Ireland
There's a man who looks like me

And he dreams of god and country
And he's feeling really bad
And he's sitting in a prison
Say, should he lie down, do nothing
Should give in or go mad?

Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today (yeah, yeah)

Career Analysis: Paul McCartney
Episode 19 of Career Analysis will be about one of the most important figures in the history of Rock music: Paul McCartney. It’s the first episode about a Rock artist, and the first episode to be on Rock genius. This one was very confusing to deal with because of the many ways that Paul’s songs are credited. We will be looking at songs credited to “Paul McCartney”, “Paul and Linda McCartney” and “Paul McCartney and Wings”. We will not be looking at songs by “The Beatles” or “Wings”. Beatles will get their own episode fairly soon. Wings could possibly get their own episode someday. EDIT: I’ve changed my mind and am now considering “Wings” a spelling variant of “Paul McCartney and Wings”, and therefor part of Paul McCartney’s solo discography. The key is as follows: Title = peak/weeks/debut/debut score/average position/ inverse point total. Ram era (Early 1971 – Late 1971) Another Day * = #5/12/#55/46/19.5/ 978 Uncle Albert = #1/13/#65/36/14.77/ 1,121 Give Irelan
