 I walked with my grandmother
-Down a windblown Chester Road
+down a wind-blown Chester Road
-With her fifty-two new pence

+we walked all the way back
-Then we walked all the way back
 I walked with my grandmother
-Along the groan of Talbot Road

-In the gardens by the graves

 I can just about behave
+arrogant and paranoid

-Time will come but it hasn't yet
+time will come - but it hasn't yet
-Someone's out to get me

 I walked with my grandmother
-Cornbread street, we're incomplete
+Cornbrook Street, where, incomplete
-She would never be again
+she would never be again
-A Dublin dancer, free and young
