I never thought that it would end
I said we'd win till Millenium's end
Linda started it way back in '92
Always we'd win through and through

How could they say its over now?
How can we wave The Prix goodbye?
Always I've said Dreamin' should've won
As well as the Mysterious Woman.

Is winning over now?
Can Ireland win an 8^th Eurosong?
With all those slow ballads
That seem to drone on and on.

To think that I could win
Was mistaken in my case
But we sent a mid tempo tune [Paul Harrington sings "Mid tempo tune"]
And I only got ninth place.

We won with ballad after ballad
We always could do then
But now RTÉ's taken winning away.

Is winning over now?
Can we win Eurosong again?
With all those slow ballads
Not to mention McGettigan.

To think that I could win
Was mistaken in my case
But we sent a mid tempo tune [PH: "Mid tempo tune"]
And I only got ninth place.

Is winning over now?
We'll try again, OK?
Yet another slow ballad
By the Mullans from the UK!

To think that I could win
Was mistaken in my case
But we sent a mid tempo tune [PH: "Mid tempo tune"]
And I only got ninth place. [PH: "Mid tempo tune"]
