Lyrics:
The curtain has been raised, the wall no longer stands\\nAnd from Lisadell to Latvia, we're singing as one clan\\nThe curtain has been raised, and Europe's all one stage\\nAnd the archipelagic icicles have melted like the cage\\n\nWe don't need no party, just a party band\\nA continental choir singing hand in hand\\n\nThey might scare the blackbird\\nBut they cannot stop him sing\\nThey may steal the honey\\nBut they'll never steal the sting\\nThey may crush the flowers\\nTrample every living thing\\nBut they can't stop the spring\\n\nThey might scare the blackbird\\nBut they cannot stop him sing\\nThey may steal the honey\\nBut they'll never steal the sting\\nThey may crush the flowers\\nAnd trample every living thing\\nBut they can't stop the spring\\n\nThey might scare the blackbird\\nBut they cannot stop him sing\\nThey may steal the honey\\nBut they'll never steal the sting\\nThey may crush the flowers\\nAnd trample every living thing\\nBut they can't stop the spring\\n\nNo, they can't stop the spring
Ireland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "They Can't Stop the Spring" written by John Waters and Tommy Moran. The song was performed by the band Dervish, which was internally selected in November 2006 by the Irish broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) to represent the nation at the 2007 contest in Helsinki, Finland. RTÉ organised the national final Eurosong 2007 to select the song that Dervish would perform. Four songs faced a public televote, ultimately resulting in the selection of "They Can't Stop the Spring" as the Irish entry. As one of the ten highest placed finishers in 2006, Ireland automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing during the show in position 4, Ireland placed twenty-fourth (last) out of the 24 participating countries with 5 points.
Overall Final Postion: 24
