07/12/2017 The View

All eyes will be on Brussels

tomorrow morning for that

statement from the President

of the European Council,

Donald Tusk.

So will it be make or break

for a deal on Brexit?

Welcome to The View.

Tonight - breakdown or breakthrough?

Were not making any comment, no

thank you.

We're just hours away from finding

out, with that fresh Brexit

statement due in Brussels tomorrow.

We'll be live there and in Dublin

for the latest news and analysis.

We'll also have political

reaction here in Belfast,

and we'll be finding out what those

who could be most affected

by any deal think of it.

That's local farmers

and the manufacturers.

And in Commentators' Corner,

champing at the bit to hold forth

on another dramatic week

of political high drama,

are Fionnuala O Connor

and Alex Kane.

Hello.

It's been four days

of "will they, won't they?"

Out of nowhere, a deal appeared

to be on the cards in Brussels,

but then it vanished again

just as quickly.

Then the blame game began -

"he said, she said",

on a European scale.

Here's a short reminder of what's

happened since Monday.

We have been very clear, Northern

Ireland must leave the European

Union on the same terms as the rest

of the United Kingdom.

This is not a

failure. This is the start of the

very last sections.

We will

reconvene before the end of the week

and I am also confident we will

conclude this positively.

We are

surprised and disappointed they

haven't been able to follow through

today on that agreement. But there

is still time.

We have said from the

beginning that the pact between the

DUP and the Tories in London would

end in tears, and so it has.

Yesterday confirmed what we already

knew, the DUP tail is wagging the

Tory dog.

When we looked at the

wording and saw the import of all of

that, we knew we couldn't sign up to

anything that was in that text that

would allow a border to develop in

the Irish Sea.

Taoiseach, can you

guarantee that your government will

not accept any deal that doesn't

ensure the north remains in the

customs union and single market?

Someone forgot to share the details

of the Irish border deal with the

DUP. Surely, Mr Speaker, there are

1.5 billion reasons why the Prime

Minister really should have

forgotten to do that.

We will ensure

there is no hard border between

Northern Ireland and the Republic of

Ireland. We will do that while we

respect the constitutional integrity

of the United Kingdom.

As the

Taoiseach outlined yesterday, this

is a sensitive negotiation at a very

sensitive time.

Do you feel you are

making any progress whatsoever?

We

will not be making any comment at

this stage, thanks very much.

So that brings us up to date

with the latest on what's been

a roller-coaster week

of Brexit negotiations.

And now we're hearing Donald Tusk

has an early start tomorrow morning,

making an announcement in Brussels.

So, what could he be about to say?

RTE's Europe Editor,

Tony Connelly, is there for us.

And from Dublin, we're joined

by the former Irish Times Political

Editor, Stephen Collins.

Tony Connelly Percival in Brussels.

Fair to assume Donald Tusk's

statement will be about a fresh

deal. Do you think so?

That is the

anticipation here. He announced a

few hours ago he would make a

statement at around 6:50am Irish

time, 7:50am Brussels time. That was

quickly qualified by a spokesperson

saying he was on a flight to Hungary

shortly afterward so he wants to be

there to make a statement should

anything happen overnight. After

that the signals come thick and fast

that things were moving. Phone calls

between Jean-Claude Juncker and

Theresa May, phone calls between

Theresa May and Leon Goretzka, the

Taoiseach. Since then, signals that

more is happening with a text. --

layover -- Leo Varadkar. It was

indicated this could run through the

night and journalists were advised

to stay by their phones.

There was

speculation before I came down to

the studio that Theresa May could

travel to Brussels very early

tomorrow morning to meet Jean-Claude

Juncker and Donald Tusk stop have

you heard that as well?

It was

always anticipated that Theresa May

would have to do come back to

Brussels if a deal was done because

she would have to do repeat the

choreography of Monday, meeting

Jean-Claude Juncker and that one

would expect that would lead to a

political sign off. And then the

batting would be handed to the

European Commission and Donald Tusk.

They would want to look at any text

before the start of the summit next

big bust up one would have to be

here if there is to be a text that

wins the support of the DUP and the

Irish government.

What about the

shape of the text? How might it

differ from Monday's draft wording?

That is critical.

That is critical.

The Irish government have made it

clear that the substance of Monday's

text can't be changed or removed.

They would be prepared to have some

language in there that qualifies or

clarifies, or spells out in more

detail how this would work. As far

as the Irish government is

concerned, and they have been

signalling this this week, even

though they have been cautious in

their pronouncements, what they have

felt happened on Monday was an

agreement that had been reached by

all sides and they want the gist of

that agreement to remain intact.

Stephen Collins, what are you

hearing in Dublin tonight?

In Dublin

people are saying very little. After

the experience of Monday people are

being cautious. The mood music is

optimistic and there are hopes that

it can be pulled off this time. The

Taoiseach, as Tony said, spoke with

Prime Minister Theresa May today.

There is a feeling of guarded

optimism, I would call it. But

nobody will count their chickens

this time. There was talk that the

Irish government would be prepared

to modify some of the language, but

the substance would have to remain.

If the language needs to be

clarified, that the Irish government

accepts Northern Ireland remains

part of the United Kingdom as long

as the majority wanted to, then that

can be done. But the notion that

there would be some form of

regulatory alignment would want to

be remained as far as the Irish

government is concerned.

The most

logical speculation or outcome it in

your view is that there would be

some additional sentences, the extra

paragraph put in over and above

Monday's draft that would soothe the

furrowed brow of the DUP?

I think

the Irish government signalled they

would be prepared to put in some

extra words to soothe the DUP, but

how far they would be prepared to do

that, I think they would want to be

reassured that it would suit the DUP

and there isn't really any

fundamental change. I think the

Irish government believes the DUP

misinterpreted Monday's agreement

and read far too much into it. But

they are prepared to move slightly

to clarify that for the DUP, I

think. But after Monday's events, it

would be very foolish to presume

what is going to happen in the

morning.

The Dublin government must

be thinking it needs to be very

careful, as you have suggested, so

that the horses are not spooked

again. The DUP clearly has

considerable clout as far as Theresa

May is concerned. This is probably

the last chance to get this right.

It probably is the last chance to

get this right, so that we will be

ready in time for next week's

European Council meeting for stop

but I the DUP appreciates they are

also on a knife edge and their

pivotal role that they have to play

very carefully, and if they disrupt

the whole thing, or if they are seen

to be the ones who resent an

agreement going ahead, then the

fallout for them could be quite

damaging in the longer run. I think

the stakes are very high for

everyone involved in this, and that

is why everybody been so careful

tonight. But this seems to be

movement and they seem to be moving

towards an agreed position.

Tony, no

leaks late in the evening. We will

see what happens in the wee small

hours. Does this get us back on

track for next week's planned summit

in Brussels, potentially?

If there

is agreement tomorrow morning, as

people are now anticipating, what

will happen then is that the process

that normally happens before a

European Council meeting, that will

kick in. So you will get a signal

from Theresa May and Jean-Claude

Juncker that this has been agreed

and then it will go to the other

European capitals in the shape of

European ambassadors who have a

co-repair meeting here. There is

normally one of those meetings every

Friday, so it is possible the text

could go into that co-repair meeting

on Friday. Member states will look

through it to make sure there is

nothing that causes alarm. On Monday

it would go to the Sherpa meeting,

more jargon, but the Sherpa meetings

are the envoys of the 27 heads of

government who will meet on Monday

and prepare draft conclusions for

next week's summit. That is the

normal procedure. If indeed

everything is over the line tomorrow

morning, then that would pave the

way for a Council conclusion next

week. In which the EU 27 can

formally say, yes, there is

sufficient progress on all three

critical areas and yes we can move

this into the second phase in

January.

Thank-you both.

The front pages are just coming in.

I'm told the Daily Telegraph

headline tomorrow, EU expects

Theresa May to sign deal today. Very

much in line with what we have just

heard.

So that's the very latest in terms

of what we believe might

be happening tomorrow.

What, then, do my studio

guests make of that?

Tonight I'm joined by

Sinn Fein's Mairtin O Muilleoir

and the Alliance Party leader,

Naomi Long.

Also with me is Ivor Ferguson

from the Ulster Farmers' Union

and Richard Hogg, who's on the board

of Manufacturing NI.

We did ask the DUP to take

part in the programme,

but it didn't want to.

The Ulster Unionists couldn't get

anyone to join us and we tried

a long list of Conservative

MPs without success.

Having said all of that, we are

pleased to welcome the four of you

to the studio. Make no mistake about

that. Mairtin O Muilleoir, let me

turn to you first. If the deal is

the right gear, it will be worth

waiting for.

You make it sound as if

we have nothing to do tonight,

because we are the only people who

turned up!

I expressly didn't want

to give you that impression!

We will

all get up early tomorrow. If there

is going to be an agreement or

statement, we will study it. Or else

we need the Green MEP who spilled

the beans on the last proto-

agreement. Whatever happens

tomorrow, we will stress test it

again what we and Sinn Fein want. I

think we speak for the majority of

people in the north when we say that

we want a special designated status

within the EU. Other people call it

a unique status. That means the

status quo must maintain. We should

stay in a single market and Customs

union.

You will not get that in this

deal.

Let's test what comes out, if

there is a deal tomorrow. Let's test

it against what we want to see.

Certainly the language on Monday,

and what an exciting week it was,

but Collingwood on Monday was that

we would have a situation that

ensured the rights of Irish citizens

north of the border. -- but the

language on Monday was.

What it

underscores more than anything is

the peripheral nature of Sinn Fein.

You are not part of the negotiation

process whatsoever. You're watching

from the sidelines like the rest of

us.

Actually, tomorrow morning, if

there is a deal then Michel Barnier

will brief the Parliamentary team

and Sinn Fein will have a

representative on that team.

You are

being told what the deal is, you had

nothing to do with shaping it.

I

think the parliament has input and

we have four MEPs in the parliament.

The DUP, what they want to see, and

they are the only party that

campaign for Brexit, and they

represent a minority. The Taoiseach

has taken a firm stand and we cannot

have any rolling back from that

stands taken on Monday this week by

the Irish government standing firmly

behind the rights of Irish citizens

and the majority of the North. The

Taoiseach repeated several times

this week, the DUP speak for a

minority in this. They want to drag

is back to pass that didn't work.

Most people want to be outward

looking.

In your view it speaks for

the minority, but it is a party with

an awful lot of clout.

Let's see

what they do or don't get. But if

they get a deal that is the deal

Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Liam

Fox, the type of deal they want, it

would be a deal for the Brexiteers,

it would be a hard Brexit, very

damaging to business here and damage

to the community 's sector and it

would mean an end...

The Irish

government will not accept that and

it has been clear since day one.

Let's make sure the Irish government

stands firm and for the type of

future we envisage. If anything it

needs to be protected.

Those

elements which are relevant as far

as the Good Friday Agreement is

concerned were determined in the

original draft. Naomi long, I am

sorry that you're completely out of

the loop on this as well.

We are not

in this negotiation, but if you look

at what we, it was pretty close to

where things were coming out in

terms of negotiations earlier this

week, it set forward I think the

only tangible proposal from any

local party, we discussed them with

the secretary of state and both

governments so we will set out our

position very clearly to those in

the negotiations even though we are

not at the table and it's been clear

this week despite the DUP having ten

MPs they were not at the table

either.

Your colleague Stephen Farry

told me on Monday that the draft

deal which fell on Monday was a

golden opportunity, the best of both

worlds, how concerned are you that

that could be changed dramatically

in the second deal we think we will

see tomorrow are you not concerned?

I don't think it can be changed

dramatically because the individual

pieces which make the deal have been

pretty much on the table and

circumscribed by Arlene Foster and

Martin McGuinness's letter which

went to the Prime Minister just

after Brexit to set out what we

needed in Northern Ireland. I think

effectively on Monday the DUP did

not just with gift horse in the most

they shot dead in the head and I've

no idea why, we already have

regularity alignment for certain

sectors. It was about taking it up a

notch.

The rug from under the feet

of Theresa May...

I am not sure

that's the case, I think it was more

a fit of pique because they felt

they had been closed out of

negotiations and I don't think it

went down well. The difficulty is in

pulling the rug out from Theresa

May's beat the need to remember they

have weakened her on the

international stage and yet she is

to all intents and purposes the

Prime Minister who will have to

negotiate her way through the future

stages of this and she is a much

weakened Prime Minister thanks to

how the DUP have handled the

situation. Much better to have had

this conversation behind closed

doors, not down a telephone line

which put the government in an

embarrassing position.

Very

interesting perspectives, let's hear

from the manufacturing sector and

the agricultural sector, Richard,

you appeared before the affairs

committee at Westminster yesterday,

how important is it for you and the

people you represent that the

politicians get this sorted and

sorted quickly?

It's really

important and hopefully we will get

the border thing sorted out by

tomorrow, maybe, maybe not. What I

find very disappointing about this

whole process was that are two

leading particle parties tried to

politicise what is a business

problem. Trying to politicise the

border. I think a lot of people in

business find that alarming. It's

important the politicians get

together and start moving forward in

a good direction to help us, to give

us direction because within

manufacturing, business in general,

we don't know what will happen.

Are

you optimistic to hear some kind of

a revised deal appears to now be in

the final stages of being agreed,

could well be signed off tomorrow by

the powers that be in Brussels which

would give you perhaps the kind of

clarity you are looking for? Then

the question is are you guaranteed

the politicians will not start

politicising the deal in the way you

think they have politicised the road

to the deal?

We are extremely

enthusiastic about it and we are

very optimistic about business with

Northern Ireland. We see fantastic

opportunities within Brexit

actually. Which is, sometimes a bit

contradictory but we do find, we do

think there are a fantastic

opportunities if it's handled

properly and there is no reason we

cannot become a bridge rather than,

so it's not talk about borders or no

borders, let's become a bridge.

You

think Northern Ireland could get the

best of both worlds in the deal and

it could be a golden opportunity

with a foot in both camps?

Absolutely, why not? Why can they

not be the bridge between Europe and

the rest of the world and the UK?

Why not?

Is that how you see it in

the agricultural sector?

No,

certainly, speaking as Northern

Ireland's farmers we want to see

progress made, the area I live is in

Armagh and I live quite near the

border so we would like to see a

solution to the border, we want to

see free trade but having said that,

it's been mooted about the border in

the Irish Sea, that would certainly

be a big problem for us because our

businesses are worth almost £5

billion now and 50% of that goes

directly into the UK market so

anything which would disrupt or

change the regulations as regards

Northern Ireland into the GB market

it would certainly be a big problem.

Where are you concerned as far as

that element of the Monday draft

deal, that it could visit problems

for your sector? And east-west

border effectively?

That is right.

We would like to see free trade with

our colleagues south of the border

but this east West is a bigger

concern for us because of the volume

of trade we do. Our Chief Executive

and myself were in Brussels at the

end of last week and Michel Barnier

told us it was his ideal, the only

answer he could see was for the UK

to come into a customs union or be

aligned in some way. What we were

talking about here for Northern

Ireland, if that could be applied UK

while Leave why it could cause a lot

of problems.

So you will be reading

the terms of the deal if there is a

deal tomorrow very carefully because

that's an issue that unionists

flagged up, if there is to be some

kind of regulatory alignment they

would like it to apply more widely

and to Northern Ireland.

Yes, we do

not take part in politics, this is

merely on trade business we are

concerned about for Northern

Ireland.

I appreciate that but it's

a political negotiation which is the

difficulty. The politicians have the

say so and a degree of influence

over how you do business in future,

that is the reality.

I have to agree

that is the reality but nonetheless

it is our top priority. To have no

interference with trade.

What do you

make of that, it's a real concern

and there are a lot of farmers in

Northern Ireland and a lot of

business.

Absolutely and in

manufacturing and I think the point

is well made. We called our paper on

Brexit bridges not barriers because

we want to see Northern Ireland's

businesses able to trade freely with

the rest of the UK and Republic of

Ireland and beyond because there's

an opportunity here for us if we

have the special arrangement to be

able to maximise our business. Not

just protect what we have but grow

what we have into the future after

Brexit and it's important we future

proof business. We cannot have hard

borders either in the Irish Sea are

a lot of the border with the

Republic but regulatory alignment,

having no diverging from the EU,

that's not mutually exclusive with

being able to remain to do trade

with the UK.

When you look at the

wording, it's only going to relate

to a certain number of sectors.

It

already happens in a certain number

of sectors, we already have

regulatory alignment in some sectors

on a island-wide basis and on other

sectors it's across the UK. There

have been occasions were having a

border and its other serious hard

border but some kind of boundary in

the Irish Sea has been beneficial to

farmers. Redford and mouth and so

on, the fact our cattle are not

classed the same as GB was to our

benefit army could continue to

trade. There is an occasion where

that's it to our advantage so why

would we not maximise our advantage?

That is a good example of how the

different Cenation work in favour,

OK it was lying time ago and we

don't want another outbreak of foot

and mouth, obviously, but it is an

example of how benefited.

As long as

there are no barriers between us and

the UK we could see a lot of

advantages going forward and there

are a lot of positives to grow our

share of the home market. The GB

market is 65 million people.

Richard

how concerned are you by the issue

raised that is some kind of border

which divides your business in

Northern Ireland for the rest of the

United Kingdom, you don't want that?

And the people you represent the one

that?

Definitely not, we do not want

borders anywhere, we want free trade

back and forward.

There has to be a

border somewhere.

Yes but it can be

negotiated and we can work through

it but we need to get to the point

to make their next move which

hopefully tomorrow we can see what

that can be but we need to get to

that point first then we can discuss

it.

There are different kinds of

borders. This is what we need to

start talking about. When it's the

alignment we already have there is

already a border effective for

certain goods which doesn't cause

disruption.

We need to focus on the

practicalities but we have to get

this ready first and get it agreed

or we will never move to the point

these gentlemen need to be at.

I am

sympathetic to what I've and Richard

are saying but unfortunately and

Michel Barnier has said this many

times, you cannot have your cake and

eat it. The British want to leave

the EU.

I don't understand that.

Let

me explain, Michel Barnier said the

British voted, English and Welsh

certainly voted to leave the EU and

a majority here voted to stay there

we are a special case Angela Powers

said very clearly they are going to

stand behind the Irish government

that there should be no damage done

to the north of Ireland under annex

it so Europe wants to see a solution

and it is seen to the British

government you want out, you cannot

say we want to leave the EU but

still want the rights and

entitlements. I know business wants

to be agnostic and I appreciate that

but if the DUP get the way they are

exiting the same way Manchester and

Bristol are and that is a hard exit.

If the deal goes to tomorrow that's

not the case.

This is what I am

trying to say, trying to politicise

all of this again is a nonsense and

it's not acceptable to us in

business. Stop it. We need to get to

appoint move forward.

You can say

that, and it's a sexy phrase and a

headline but what does it mean in

real terms because politics governs

this process.

We are talking about

borders again so in that, the

borders and having a lack of them

whatever way it's going to work out,

that a business thing we need to be

concentrating on as business so we

know what is going to be there. So

we can employ people, get them into

work, pay taxes and make his

province into what it can be.

Hopefully someone from the DUP may

be watching tonight so what is your

message to them from the people you

represent?

Stop this silly nonsense,

get yourselves back and sit back and

get storm and running again so we

can as businesses and farmers get on

with what we want to do.

I would

certainly agree with that and I also

want to say that this is not a

one-way ticket. Speaking to our

farmers, in the member states, like

a lot of member states are really

anxious on the continent and anxious

to get a good deal, ideal of free

trade in and out of the UK. It's not

all us in the UK wanting to deal

with the continent, there are a lot

of member states you want to deal

with us.

I need to ask about

Stormont, Richard saying get it

sorted out and get back to stored

mint -- to Stormont, you will see

you wanted but not under the current

conditions and the DUP need to move

on their position but if this deal

is on the table tomorrow and is

contingent upon the devolved

assembly being backed up and

running, to actually implement

whatever decisions are taken, are

you going to thumb your nose at the

deal and hold to your red lines and

see this opportunity go down the

Swan Lake?

Let me reply to Richard,

there should be continuation of

single market and a customs union so

business are saying they don't want

a hard border. Boris Johnson says he

wants to leave the EU therefore we

have to politicise this. The DUP

position is the Brexit position and

ours is not, it's the majority

position across this Ireland. I

would love to be back in government,

any of us in elected position want

to be there to deliver for people.

The DUP is the blockage, once they

guarantee they will give us the

government...

THEY TALK OVER EACH

OTHER

Once the DUP guarantee they

can treat people equally, things may

be nonsense to you but they are

important to ordinary people, I am

pleased that there was an opinion

poll today showing the majority of

people want to see...

Those other

issues have to be dealt with

otherwise no matter what the

opportunities as far as tomorrow's

deal might be your not going back to

Stormont?

We will be back to

Stormont as soon as the DUP step up

and see the Good Friday Agreement

which agrees equality for all, they

will respect that.

So that obstacle

are still in place?

I remember when

Leo Varadkar came here and on the

same issue of same-sex marriage she

will not be compromised.

From our

perspective any divergences we will

have from the overall deal, any

special arrangements will be reliant

on getting an assembly back up and

running. I think the majority of

people want to see that happen, they

want politicians to be grappling

with the detail which will follow

any deal which comes tomorrow and I

think it's time to get their heads

together and find a way to get back

into Stormont like the rest of

A sentence each.

I'm disappointed

with local politicians. At a time

like this with farming in love

Island and the size of the food

business, we would like to see some

leadership shown in Stormont to us

moving forward.

We are complete

alignment.

Thank you all.

Let's hear what tonight's

commentators have to say

about that, and the prospect

of a new deal tomorrow.

Alex Kane and Fionnuala

O Connor are with me.

Good to see you. I have been handed

a piece of paper with the latest

information from political editor in

London Laura Kuenssberg. Speculation

continues. Theresa May will go

tomorrow early to finalise

agreements. Talks will continue

through the night and it is

understood additional wording has

been finalised in the text to

provide additional reassurance to

the DUP. Alex?

I have no idea what

will happen. We sat here last week

and we knew Sammy Wilson and Peter

Robinson had made their

interventions. They were spooked and

angry. But they need a deal to

because the Conservative Party is

not going to allow, with a few

exceptions, is not going to allow

the DUP to block everything of

thing. Tomorrow Theresa May,

politically damaged and

psychologically savaged on Monday,

she needs to prove she is a lead

again. She needs to square that

circle.

Your political antenna is

usually pretty good, what's

happening at the moment?

I don't

know. I think Theresa May is not

just damage, but she is on her last

chance.

Really?

I do. She was forced

into that position. People made the

point during the week where she

didn't want any freethinker

clarified. Didn't want the situation

clarified of what she would go for

in the end. -- she didn't want

anything clarified. Now apparently

she wants a cabinet meeting before

Christmas at which everything will

come out in the open. During which

all the people inside her Cabinet

who disagree with each other and

want to her job in a couple of

cases, will open up. She's in a

terrible position.

The challenge is

that if tomorrow turns out to be a

deal based on a fudge where

constructive ambiguity is what gets

it over the line, how long can it

last before it all begins to turn in

on itself? That's the problem.

The

same thing will happen as has

happened to the Good Friday

Agreement. Constructive ambiguity

became destructive very quickly. And

Theresa May does not believe in

Brexit. She is not committed to

Brexit. She is in and a possible

task, trying to deliver something

she has no interest in.

She is try

to make the best of it.

Held hostage

for all the wrong reasons by the

DUP. A deal she never needed to do

and is now paying the price for

doing stupid deal. Tomorrow she is

still trying to please these people.

It's a ridiculously embarrassing

position for a British Prime

Minister to find herself in.

Do you

have the sense Arlene Foster has

Theresa May over a barrel at the

moment?

I don't know. They could be

an element of pretence in the DUP

position. I think they may have

overplayed their hand. Whether they

decide to go for it, they obviously

couldn't decide to go for broke and

say, we will bring you down, walking

out, and we will risk Jeremy Corbyn

getting back in and risk the

election. So they pulled back from

the brink. And I feel they will do

so again. But there isn't much time

left. That's the problem.

To hear

briefly from the agriculture sector

and manufacturing sector, taking on

the politicians and saying, sort

yourselves out, it's not often you

hear that.

I don't want to be rude,

but I really heard such magical

thinking. Politicising this

question, they said. Politicising

the border, where have these people

been living their entire lives? The

border isn't political?

Is it

political naivete?

There is more

chants of me becoming happy than

Stormont being put together any time

soon. It's not happening.

That's it from The View

for this week.

Join me for Sunday Politics

at 11:35am here on BBC1.

But we leave you with

the latest social media

sensation from Swede Mason.

When it comes to parody,

we're lucky to have the "Once

in a Lifetime" President

that is Donald Trump.

With apologies to David

Byrne - good night!

MUSIC; Once In A Lifetime

by Talking Heads.

TRUMP: # And you may find yourself

living in a shotgun shack

# And you may find yourself

in another part of the world

# Behind the wheel

of a large automobile

# And you may find yourself

in a beautiful house

# With a beautiful wife

# And you may say to yourself,

well,

# How did I get here?

DAVID BYRNE: # Letting the days go

by, let the water hold me down

# Letting the days go by,

water flowing underground

# Into the blue again

after the money's gone

# Once in a lifetime,

water flowing underground

TRUMP: # And you may ask yourself,

"What is that beautiful house?"

# And you may ask yourself,

"Where does that highway go to?"
