    The sun came out & hung above
    Over our heads but far enough to see
    A bomb exploding in another town
    Children choking on a poison cloud
    While on the streets, where lovers once walked,
    Side by side in idle talk
    Bullets fall like unholy rain
    People change as the panic sets in,
    A frightened baby by her dead mother's side
    In a brutal world where there's nowhere
    To run, hide or cry
    Now nothing feels the same way,
    Feels like it's changing again,
    Upon a street with no name
    It's hard to find it again
    I ran as fast as my feet could fly
    Down country lanes where I took my time-
    Time like a hound snapping at my heels
    I got past thinking so I could feel,
    Feels like a film playing in my head
    And I kept rolling down green Surrey hills,
    In Spring
    Now nothing feels the same way
    Feels like I'm changing again
    Upon a street with no name
    It's hard to find me again,
    The sun came out & hung above, over our heads
    But far enough to see

    I was born on a Dublin street where the royal drums did beat,
    And those loving English feet they tramped all over us,
    And each and every night when me father came home tight
    He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus:
    Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man,
    Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders,
    Tell them how the IRA made you run like * away
    From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra.
    Come tell us how you slew them poor Arabs two by two,
    Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows,
    How you bravely faced each one with your 16-pounder gun,
    And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow.
    Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man,
    Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders,
    Tell them how the IRA made you run like * away
    From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra.
    Come let us hear you tell how you slandered great Parnell,
    When you thought him well and truly persecuted,
    Where are the sneers and jeers that you bravely let us hear
    When our heroes of '16 were executed?
    Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man,
    Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders,
    Tell them how the IRA made you run like * away
    From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra.
    Well the day is coming fast and the time is here at last,
    When each yeoman will be cut aside before us,
    And if there be a need, sure me kids would sing, "Godspeed, "
    With a verse or two of Stephen Behan's chorus:
    Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man,
    Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders,
    Tell them how the IRA made you run like * away
    From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra.

    You're what you wanna be, a wannabe 'cause that's what you want
    Follow in front of me, it's fun to be put up as a front
    If you can fake it till you make it then you'll get what you want
    It doesn't make you any less of a insufferable *

    You wanna seem as if you see me so your fake eyes will see
    Turn every turn of phrase around till you don't know what it means
    I wish I could have understood that you're afraid to confront
    But I can't be vaguer, understated, so I guess I'll be blunt

    Yeah, I just wanna * be done
    Yeah, I just wanna * be done
    Yeah, I just wanna * be done

    I shoved my tongue right between your cheeks
    I haven't made love now for 25 weeks
    I hear that you're so tight
    You're loving squeaks
    But I'm ready, so ready.

    I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said I know you and you cannot sing
    I said that's nothing, you should hear me play piano

    Unicorns and cannonballs
    Palaces and piers
    Trumpets towers and tenements
    Wide oceans full of tears
    Flags rags ferryboats
    Scimitars and scarves
    Every precious dream and vision
    Underneath the stars
    You climbed on the ladder
    With the wind in your sails
    You came like comet
    Blazing your trail
    Too high too far too soon
    You saw the whole of the moon

    Libraries gave us power
    Then work came and made us free
    What price now
    For a shallow piece of dignity
    I wish I had a bottle
    Right here in my dirty face
    To wear the scars
    To show from where I came
    We don't talk about love
    We only wanna get drunk
    And we are not allowed to spend
    As we are told that this is the en

    I have fallen for another, she can make her own way home.

    I don't want
    A place to stay
    Get your booty on the floor tonight
    Make my day
    I don't want

    Get your booty on the floor tonight
    Make my day

    'What time is it?' Said the Judge,
    To Joey when they met,
    5 to 10 said Joey,
    Judge says 'that's exactly what you get'

    How you bravely called them swine
    Robert Emmett who you hung and drew and quartered
    High upon that gallows high,
    How you murdered Henry Joy
    And our Croppy Boys from Wexford you did slaughter

    Well we busted out of class had to get away from those fools
    We learnt more from a three minute record than we ever did at school
