Is there another song recorded around the early 80's by an R and B group also titled SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES? It has different lyrics than the Platters song...

Can you explain why this is offensive to you? I haven't heard this song before and just read the lyrics online, but don't understand what's offensive about it. Thanks!

Its a song with sectarian meaning and associations to a certain group of people

That much I understood from the lyrics, but I haven't grasped the fuller meaning which would be found offensive. That's what I'm really looking for. Can you explain this?

It describes the defeat of Catholic Irish forces by Protestant invaders because of this association it is offensive and confratational to most of the 4 million Irish citizens on the island of Ireland.

Ah. OK. Along similar lines, I've always wondered if the British had ever found "The Star Spangled Banner" offensive. Anyway, thanks for explaining, I don't think I could have gotten the cultural implications otherwise. :)

Haha, the English should find 'Oh Flower of Scotland' offensive too. It's our national anthem, and I would if I was them!
