 +
 +
 +==== The Rocky Road to Dublin ====
 +
 +In the merry month of June from my home I started left the girls of Taum nearly 
 +brokenhearted saluted me father dear, kissed me darling mother drank a pint of 
 +beer, my grief and tears to smother then off to reap the corn, leave where I was 
 +born cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblin, brand-new pair of 
 +brogues, rattling o'er the bogs frightening all the dogs on the rocky road to 
 +Dublin.
 +
 +In Mullingar last night, I rested limbs so weary started by daylight next 
 +morning bright and early took a drop of the pure to keep me heart from sinking 
 +that's the daddy's cure when he's on the drinking see the lassies smile, 
 +laughing all the while at me darling style, would set your heart a-bubblin' 
 +asked me was I hired, wages I required 'til I was almost tired of the rocky road 
 +to Dublin.
 +
 +Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the way to Dublin, 
 +whack-fol-la-de-da!
 +
 +In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity to be so soon deprived a view 
 +of that fine city decided to take a stroll all among the quality bundle, it was 
 +stole in that neat locality something crossed my mind when I looked behind no 
 +bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin' crying for a rogue said me 
 +connaught brogue wasn't much in-vogue on the rocky road to Dublin.
 +
 +From there I got away, me spirits never failing landed on the quay just as the 
 +ship was sailing captain at me roared, said that no room had he then I jumped 
 +aboard a cabin found for Daddy down among the pigs, played some funny rigs, 
 +danced some hearty jigs, the water 'round me bubblin' off to hollyhead wished 
 +myself was dead or better far instead on the rocky road to Dublin.
 +
 +The boys in Liverpool, when we safely landed called myself a fool, I could no 
 +longer stand it blood began to boil, temper I was losing poor old Erin's Isle 
 +they began abusing hooray me soul, says I, let the shellaillagh fly some galway 
 +boys were nigh, saw I was a-hobblin' with a loud array, they joined me in the 
 +fray and soon we cleared the way on the rocky road to Dublin.
 +
 +
 +==== Heroes from Our Past ====
 +
 +And so the story's told of a hearty group of men it's a tale of their triumphs 
 +and their woes. Be it raids and melees ancient or the modern worker's struggle 
 +that inspires men to stand up for their rights. And should we fall down by the 
 +wayside in this ever-changing world we can look back to these heroes of our 
 +past. With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will, no tyranny would 
 +quell them in their task.
 +
 +It's an age-old situation with an ever-present message: that time and tide 
 +waiteth for no man. So without fear of confrontation of the consequence of 
 +outcome, it's for freedom and for happiness they toiled. An in looking to the 
 +future, we can see a better place where we can shake the yoke of tyranny for 
 +all. It's been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest. It's just 
 +remembrance of their dignity we ask.
 +
 +So come on rally round this brave and valiant cause with tradition, pride, and 
 +honor at its core. With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted 
 +men Faugh-an-ballagh, clear the way, me boys!!
 +
 +Under perilous conditions with small hope of success they left behind the lives 
 +that they once led and by virtue of their fortitude and single-minded strength 
 +they cleared the way for the people of today so when we think back to our 
 +ancestors respectfully we hark and thank the men whose struggle broke the chain 
 +it's a long road up ahead of us - let's forge on while we're strong and leave 
 +our mark of honor once again
 +
 +So the story has been told and it comes now to an end. It's setting any era, any 
 +land. When abusive tyrants force the hands of matters great or small, it inpires 
 +men to stand up for their rights.
 +
 +
 +==== Forever ====
 +
 +"Never take your loved ones for granted: they could be gone tomorrow" all of my 
 +dreams seem to fall by the side like a discarded thought or the day's fading 
 +light but I know that if I could just see you tonight forever at times we may 
 +fall, like we all tend to do but I'll reach out and find that I've run into you 
 +your strength is the power that carried me through forever
 +
 +Your kindness for weakness I never mistook I worried you often, yet you 
 +understood that life is so fleeting, these troubles won't last forever inspired 
 +me truly you did from the start to not be afraid and to follow my heart there'
 +a piece of you with me they can't tear apart forever
 +
 +Forever I'll find you, forever we'll be
 +Forever your power and strength stays with me
 +
 +
 +==== The Gauntlet ====
 +
 +Well I just got back from a break in the fight I was weighing in heavy but still 
 +feeling alright all I hear in the distance mines and shells here come the sirens 
 +wailing another attack to be repelled do you think we're gonna make it? I don'
 +know unless we try you could sit here scared to move or we could take them by 
 +surprise it's submission that they want it's surrender that they need when we're 
 +doing it their way their aims will be achieved
 +
 +They're gonna come when you're not ready when you're not to well-prepared 
 +they're gonna prey upon your weakness no man's soul is ever spared you've got to 
 +stand up, yeah, and fight them show them what it's all about this man is not for 
 +sale there will be no backing down
 +
 +Stand up and fight and I'll stand up with you! We shall succeed
 +
 +They won't get me they won't get me thought they never cease to try they won'
 +get me they won't get me I would rather fight and die they won't get me they 
 +won't get me well my friend will they get you? when they get you when they get 
 +you tell me what are you gonna do?
 +
 +
 +==== Good Rats ====
 +
 +Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for run? Sure they crawl 
 +around and scurry, yeah they're always on the run but a rat sure likes a good 
 +time just like you and me I'll prove it with a tale about a rat-infested brewery
 +
 +It started with a little lad named vermin McCann who fell upon a drink that made 
 +him feel like quite a man he rounded up his furry boys, though some wore a frown 
 +they quickly changed their tune and they slammed a couple down.
 +
 +One, two, one-two-three-four! Come on all you good rats we'll send you to heaven 
 +you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam 'cause in these vats 
 +you've made quite a creation a potion that turned the Guinness to gold!
 +
 +Like mice behind a piper, rats from all around soon headed for this factory in 
 +old Dublin Town. They surely heard the news about this fancy new rat-brew they 
 +come, they saw, they had a taste and knocked back a few
 +
 +The rats wre in a tizzy addicted to the bone the hairy lugs wer giddy they were 
 +never going home like a bunch of drunken pirates prepared to walk the plank they 
 +drank, they sang, they took a plunge and in the beer they sank!
 +
 +
 +==== The New American Way ====
 +
 +Each day when I wake up and I set my best foot forward I'll make an effort to be 
 +all that I can be. I take a look around me and I wonder how things change so 
 +much in the few short years since I was a young boy. 
 +
 +Do you know what we're fighting for? I know in an instant I could lose 
 +everything I'm working toward. 
 +
 +I know I'll win my battles though I fear we'll lose the war to the new American 
 +way. 
 +
 +The morals of this nation's youth have long gone astray lead by tolerance, 
 +indifference, and this kinder gentler way that has corrupted and destroyed so 
 +many of our boys and girls oh lord I start to wonder will it ever come around?
 +
 +
 +==== The Torch ====
 +
 +Wash away all the lines on your face that show how you've aged it's a long way 
 +down - your back's been broken you can't make the rounds the tables are turned 
 +as the litany goes... you're a rotten old man who'll be covered in dirt on your 
 +knees and pray to the maker that caused you to bleed
 +
 +Turn back the hand on the clock you're a bitter old man who's done nothing but 
 +work your hands to the bone on the assembly lines you've grown cold to the touch 
 +of the ones that you love ignorance is something you can't over come but you've 
 +passed it on down and that's something much worse for a bitter young man... is 
 +now taking the torch
 +
 +Silent scorn - you've taken it out on the ones you adore Inside rage - they've 
 +left you before but they'll come back again they'll pray for you with all their 
 +love but this time your indifference just can't be excused Forced amends - well 
 +it's something you'll die with but it goes on for them... for a bitter young 
 +man... has now taken the torch...
 +
 +
 +==== Fortunes of War ====
 +
 +Each town has its cliques those who don't get along and then there's towns I 
 +know where certain kids just don't belong so know your rivals and watch your 
 +back 'cause no one's gonna be there when the enemy attacks
 +
 +When the justice eludes you it's the fortunes of war wouldn't things be 
 +different had the tables been turned? If the people won't protect you you must 
 +fend for yourself when the justice eludes you it's the fortunes of war
 +
 +You drove right over him and then you sped away how does it feel to kill and 
 +know you didn't pay? So walk away even though a life is gone someday, you'll 
 +know the price when god repays you for your wrongs.
 +
 +
 +==== A Few Good Men ====
 +
 +It's time we stood up for ourselves so get up off your knees. We'll shake off 
 +our detractors and attain our hopes and dreams and if we fall prey to 
 +in-fighting, we're never gonna win, so put aside your differences, sing loud, 
 +sing proud
 +
 +We won't listen to their stories or be waylaid by their lies it's a dram that'
 +still attainable for kids like you and I So if we all stand together singing one 
 +defiant song our voice will reach the heavens, so sing with all your heart
 +
 +Join us in a song - we shall rise and sing stand up and be counted - sing a song 
 +for liberty join us in this song - together we shall sing rise up and be counted 
 +- sing it loud, sing it proud
 +
 +We've been brutalized and crucified, the brunt of their attacks, is corruption 
 +not their trademark and compassion what they lack? If we can realize our common 
 +goals, the end of which is plain united and now stronger, their loss is now our 
 +gain!
 +
 +
 +==== Ramble and Roll ====
 +
 +Driving down the highway and I've got no lights dreaming about my future, but 
 +it's fading away in the night what do you want out of life when you don't play 
 +by the rules I've got no expectations and I fully expect to lose
 +
 +'Cause I was born to ramble I was made to roll living my stickin' life in 
 +yesterday's rock and roll
 +
 +I drink in dirty bars 'cause they serve bigger drinks and I don't own fancy 
 +cards I take the train and man it stinks, yeah, I play music but I do't hang out 
 +with stars and if I need money I'll just pawn a few guitars
 +
 +I may speak gibberish, but I don't talk shit and I'm not one for book smarts but 
 +I'm known for my barroom wit!
 +
 +
 +==== Caps and Bottles ====
 +
 +When I was thirteen, I bought a scally cap looked up to the older guys who drank 
 +at the rat couldn't wait to grow up just to drink with the crew put my name on 
 +the map and have a social few
 +
 +I recall when I was small I thought I'd be legend soon but that was then and 
 +this is now a harder road cannot be found don't get me wrong, good times were 
 +had sometimes the fun outweighed the bad but all in all, now said and done I can 
 +recall more bad than fun
 +
 +It's killing me - the answer's here, it's plain to see it's taken me - I'm half 
 +the man I thought I'd be it's killing me - it's taken years but now I see I'
 +not the man I thought I'd be
 +
 +I'd fight them all, big or small angel dust and Bud tall collars up and fists 
 +the same protect your friends and family name had my lumps, received a few but 
 +not near what I deserved some say this life's my punishment some say this life'
 +my just deserves
 +
 +
 +==== The Wild Rover ====
 +
 +I've been a wild rover for many's the year and I've spent all me money on 
 +whiskey and beer and now I'm returning with gold in great store and I never will 
 +play the wild rover no more
 +
 +And it's no, nay, never no, nay, never!
 +No more will I play the wild rover no, never, no more
 +
 +I went into an alehouse I used to frequent and I told the landlady me money was 
 +spent I asked her for credit, she answered me nay such a custom as yours I could 
 +have any day
 +
 +I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright and the landlady's eyes opened up 
 +with delight she said she had whiskeys and wines of the best and the words that 
 +she told me were only in jest
 +
 +I went home to my parents, confessed what I'd done and I asked them to pardon 
 +their prodigal son and when they'd caressed me as oft times before I never will 
 +play the wild rover no more
 +
 +
 +==== The Spicy McHaggis Jig ====
 +
 +I'll tell you a story, believe me it's true a tale you'd best hope never happens 
 +to you old spicy mcHaggis, how he met his fate you I can save, but for him it'
 +too late
 +
 +Spicy was big, burly and strong his pipes were gigantic, and so was his schlong 
 +from city to city running around looking for chicks over four hundred pounds
 +
 +One night at the pub a girl caught his eye big as a house, just the right size 
 +the broad was enormous, stacked to the hilt spicy soon noticed a bulge in his 
 +kilt the piper delivered his best pick-up line thought to himself, "this beast 
 +is all mine" the portly young lady could stand for no more grabbed his cojones 
 +and went for the door
 +
 +They got to her house and dimmed all the lights Spicy was in for one hell of a 
 +night he said that he loved her, he'd always be true "But Mr. McHaggis, I've 
 +only just met you!!"
 +
 +By now he saw double through his drunken eyes neither had looks or appropriate 
 +size he came to his sense, thought to himself, "At this time of night I won'
 +find nothing else" he took off his shirt, she lifted her skirt, they pulled out 
 +his unit and stared to play she asked for a glove, he gave her a shove, had baby 
 +McHaggis nine months to-the-day.
 +
 +Three packs a day, he'll smoke 'til he dies Spicy McHaggis, one hell of a guy!
 +
 +
 +==== Roll Call ====
 +
 +Rally together gather around, the scent of a battle is near. The cannon sounds, 
 +a new year begins. Fear nothing now the gangs all here
 +
 +
 +==== Blood and Whiskey ====
 +
 +Urban legend and American folklore, Tells of a man who was one of a kind
 +A sure gent with a flair for fashion, prone to violence at any time
 +A legendary hooligan with a thirst for blood and a taste for booze
 +This brave and daring brutal soul, he lived and fought by his own rules
 +
 +Shake the hand that shook the world
 +
 +Shoe-shine boy to champion, he'd fought and beaten many foes
 +His calling card was a kick to the groin, and a broken bottle to the bridge of 
 +the nose
 +He aimed to kill when he took to the ring, this Boston strong boy loved to fight
 +On more than one occasion, a bout was stopped to save an opponents life
 +
 +Shake the hand that shook the world
 +For Blood and Whiskey with a bare knuckled fist
 +
 +
 +==== Pipebomb on Lansdowne ====
 +
 +It's Friday night and the street's filled with freaks, come watch as the useless 
 +flock to the beat
 +Of the techno noise that enhances their high, a bombs gonna blow and I think you 
 +know why!
 +
 +Chorus: Everybody's running out, bodies hit the ground, you'd better take cover
 +It's a pipebomb on lansdowne street
 +
 +There's no room for dancing on your precious floors, cause you've got to save 
 +space for the jocks and whores
 +You say that our shows are for violent thugs, but we're not the ones on designer 
 +drugs
 +
 +It's not a bunch of little kids we're out to harm and maim, so maim
 +So make sure the night you hurl the pipe there's no baseball game
 +Look for flyers, check the phoenix, are there any decent shows, if Keith Bennett 
 +isn't working
 +Then the bomb is good to go.
 +
 +
 +==== Perfect Stranger ====
 +
 +Schizophrenic nightmares sending shivers down my spine
 +I may be a little twisted, but I swear that my life is fine
 +
 +Chorus: I'm living with a perfect stranger, is there anybody home?
 +I'm living with a perfect stranger, but I find myself alone
 +
 +Well I'm still working to make life better, though I've fallen from God's grace
 +I'm standing still in a shattered mirror, staring at somebody else's face
 +
 +Just when things are back on track, I sabotage myself
 +These are all certain telltale signs of my decaying mental health
 +Nobody's Home!!!!!
 +
 +
 +==== 10 Years Of Service ====
 +
 +The status of our future in both past and present time, is relegated to a member 
 +of a higher class than mine. To Determine and direct the lives of family men who 
 +bear the burden of living up to standard that doesn't exist in 1999
 +
 +Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line, 10 years of service but I'
 +still not worth your time. And I've seen men give their lives, and heard the 
 +stories that they tell of how they labored for this company which sold it's soul 
 +to hell
 +
 +Times may be changing but I'll never leave behind the hopes and thoughts I have 
 +of better days for families such as mine. Because if history repeats itself and 
 +time will surely tell. What goes around will come around and you'll know our 
 +pain too well.
 +
 +Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line, 10 years of service but I'
 +still not worth your time. And I've seen men give their lives, and heard the 
 +stories that they tell of how they labored for this company which sold it's soul 
 +to hell
 +
 +
 +==== Upstarts and Broken Hearts ====
 +
 +I once met a young girl filled with fire, That saw through my front to this 
 +shell of a man
 +She knew I'd be a handful from the start, This strong willed woman had an angels 
 +heart
 +The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
 +So you'd better brace for a life of pain, And if fate is the path to this better 
 +life
 +Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change
 +
 +
 +Through thick and thin, She stood by you
 +She held the key to my broken heart
 +
 +I look back and wonder, Sit and ponder. How I could have ever neglected you.
 +For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field, I gambled on a hand I wasn'
 +ready to lose
 +But if the tables were turned and I faced the troubles, Tough times and 
 +struggles I put you through
 +I'd of been there as you were through hardship and horror
 +My life and my love are pledged to you.
 +
 +Through thick and thin, She stood by you
 +She held the key to my broken heart
 +
 +Remember the nights she waited and wondered, fused to a myth that it had taken 
 +it's toll.
 +But this Godless man has mended his way, Never again will she be alone.
 +
 +I remember it well, Still I always knew that she was destined to be my bride
 +This woman had pride, She was full of life. I could see the passion in her eyes.
 +She thought she found a man, But she fell for the devil
 +An evil monster in disguise. Now I'll honor and obey, Forever stay.
 +True to you, my Irish rose
 +
 +Through thick and thin, She stood by you
 +She held the key to my broken heart
 +
 +
 +==== Devils Brigade ====
 +
 +You've got no one to defend you, you're out on your own
 +Still fighting on the corner, you can never go home
 +In this world of temptation, in this city of sin
 +There's nothing that can save you, but a strength from within
 +
 +Because they'll do it again, they've done it before, The Devils Brigade
 +Headed down a dead end road with the Devils Brigade
 +You're being led astray
 +
 +The crew will not rest until your life's in the piss
 +Stop and think of you're future, the chances you'll miss
 +Looking back on a resume of corruption and crime
 +Cause you wasted your youth, taken down in your prime
 +
 +Because they'll do it again, they've done it before, The Devils Brigade
 +Headed down a dead end road with the Devils Brigade
 +You're being led astray
 +
 +Dying to belong though it's tearing you apart
 +A bullet to the head and a knife to the heart
 +Are the tools of the trade in this cold life of crime
 +A smart, decent kid who has now lost his mind
 +
 +
 +==== Curse Of A Fallen Soul ====
 +
 +Another Wake, Another Time, A Premature Goodbye. I've watched you go and seen 
 +you pass, I always knew it wouldn't last. Together now we mourn the loss, and 
 +remember all the fun. We'll Drink the beer and hang out where death took another 
 +son. So all for one and one for all, do we ever wonder why. Though the reasons 
 +clear, this friend so dear was taken before his time.

 +So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man, with a toast that tells of a

 +
 +Many bow their heads for this man they know so well, with solemn thoughts 
 +they'll drink and drug for a resurrection. (Facing death we fear no danger) 
 +While Mothers shed their tears through a vail of desperation these fiends of a 
 +vicious breed raise holy hell.

 +==== Homeward Bound ====
 +
 +I've seen street corner preachers spending discharge pay
 +Between periods of getting stiff and happy tipplers singing songs of 
 +discontentment
 +With each and every passing sip from the bookmaker's clerk on the rowdy racing 
 +circuit
 +Known as Tom Sharkey's brawling bar to the tenders at the pubs and illegal 
 +sporting clubs
 +In this town I call my home
 +You see, I come from a family who more or less traditionally sends its boys off 
 +to serve uncle Sam
 +"Obey your orders and protect your country" said this father to his disheartened 
 +son
 +I've traveled over seas, seen forks in the road from Raven to the pubs near 
 +Cunard Pier
 +But the things weren't the same, as the place where I became,
 +A man in this town I call my home.
 +
 +
 +==== Going Strong ====
 +
 +There's a brand new century about to begin and the kids of the 90's are paving' 
 +the path, for the youth of America, free at last from the violence and 
 +destruction that destroyed our name, whenever there was trouble we took the 
 +blame. But now our scene's alive with a new generation of American kids.
 +
 +We work hard now lets enjoy the fruits of what we've done, tomorrow may never 
 +come. The kids on the street will have their say now - Because!
 +
 +We've had enough of these negative comparisons a new breed of kids. Brought 
 +together by a movement and a sense of tradition the strong will survive. And 
 +together our backs can never be broken cause now our scene's alive with a new 
 +generation of American kids.
 +
 +We work hard now lets enjoy the fruits of what we've done, tomorrow may never 
 +come. The kids on the street will have their say now - Because!
 +
 +
 +==== Fighting 69th ====
 +
 +Come all you gallant heroes, And along with me combined
 +I'll sing a song, it won't take long, Of the Fighting Sixty Ninth
 +They're a band of men brave, stout and bold, From Ireland they came
 +And they have a leader to the fold, And Cocoran was his name
 +
 +It was in the month of April, When the boys they sailed away
 +And they made a sight so glorious, As they marched along Broadway
 +They marched right down Broadway, me boys, Until they reached the shore
 +And from there they went to Washington, And straight unto the war
 +
 +So we gave them a hearty cheer, me boys, It was greeted with a smile
 +Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise, We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth
 +
 +And when the war is said and done, May heaven spare our lives
 +For its only then we can return, To our loved ones and our wives
 +We'll take them in our arms, me boys, For a long night and a day
 +And we'll hope that war will come no more, To sweet America
 +
 +So we gave them a hearty cheer, me boys, It was greeted with a smile
 +Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise, We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth
 +
 +So farewell unto you dear New York, Will I e'er see you once more
 +For it fills my heart with sorrow, To leave your sylvan shore
 +But the country now it is calling us, And we must hasten fore
 +So here's to the stars and stripes, me boys, And to Ireland's lovely shore
 +
 +And here's to Murphy and Devine, Of honour and renown
 +Who did escort our heroes, Unto the battle ground
 +And said unto our colonel, We must fight hand to hand
 +Until we plant the stars and stripes, Way down in Dixieland
 +
 +So we gave them a hearty cheer, me boys, It was greeted with a smile
 +Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise, We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth
 +
 +
 +==== Boston Asphalt ====
 +
 +Searching for the best break the black forties could afford them
 +Came these ever-proud world-renowned rowdy, roving men
 +With a firmness and a purpose that so many did dismiss
 +Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their stinking coffin ships
 +From the prison of their lonely hearts they labored long and hard
 +Working 18+hour days for the B.A.C.
 +
 +Intelligent, Respectable, But made of modest means
 +With an independent spirit, so full of hopes and dreams
 +Opportunity denied them in a doomed and starving land
 +Came these openhearted kindly spirits of a truly threatened man
 +
 +
 +==== Wheel of Misfortune ====
 +
 +Cowboys and coppers verse injuns and robbers, take a guess for which side I was 
 +prone
 +Maniacal pleasures and a taste for misfortune, the legacy for which I was known
 +
 +Down and out, I scream and I shout. For this man from whom I need my advice
 +If the price is your life son, you'd better think twice as you march to the 
 +front like a soldier
 +
 +So you'd think I'd aspire for greatness, hell-Bent to make a name on my own
 +Genetically programmed for the Wheel of Misfortune, I'm an heir to an unwanted 
 +throne
 +
 +Down and out, I scream and I shout. For this man from whom I need my advice
 +If the price is your life son, you'd better think twice as you march to the 
 +front like a soldier
 +
 +Now they've all got their theories, opinions and such about this man who is down 
 +on his luck
 +Well the offers are plenty, my options are many, still I opt to face my problems 
 +alone.
 +
 +
 +==== The Only Road ====
 +
 +How could you choose a path without knowing where you'd end up
 +Where you came from was a time and place that you had never been
 +- Is this the only road
 +Can you fake your way through conversation or just simply turn away
 +Set a course for the desert sun is this the only choice
 +To live without a choice, this is the only choice we'll know
 +Cut your teeth and now it's time to show the world that what your made of
 +Was a travesty that many just call luck
 +- Is this the only road
 +Now climb aboard the red line train that's headed out of town
 +Or stick around and just relive your past
 +You're always running out of wind and you keep saying it's the end
 +You're always hoping that you'll win, but then you throw in the towel in
 +
 +
 +==== Amazing Grace ====
 +
 +Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
 +I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see
 +'Twas grace that taught my heart to feel
 +'Twas grace my fears relieved
 +How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed
 +
 +
 +==== The Gang's All Here ====
 +
 +Well the devil's nipping at your heels and this time it's for real
 +A lonely hunger starts to gnaw as you wish away the pain
 +Of another desperate dead end day forever filled with sadness
 +To forget about the pain you take your bottle, drink your grave
 +
 +Singing Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here.
 +Leave your worries at the door boy, they're not going anywhere
 +Hail, hail the gang's all here
 +
 +When the going gets tough, I know my friends will still be there
 +Well you're walking down the road and the wind is in your face
 +You're down and out and the unemployment line's a mile long
 +The money in your pocket may not get you through the day
 +But cheer up son I know a place where mugs like us belong
 +
 +Singing Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here.
 +Leave your worries at the door boy, they're not going anywhere
 +Hail, hail the gang's all here
 +
 +Pick your heart up off the ground though I'm sure it weights a ton
 +You're no better or no worse than any mothers son
 +Though you're up against all odds and you're backed against the wall
 +You recall the cheer, "The Gang's All Here" and shout!
 +
 +Singing Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here.
 +Leave your worries at the door boy, they're not going anywhere
 +Hail, hail the gang's all here
 +

 +Your dreams are in danger, and "We Must Rise" Our time has come we are under the 
 +gun "It's Do or Die"

 +from the Ladder and broke his skull, so they carried Him home, his corpse to 
 +wake, rolled Him up in a nice clean sheet, and laided Him upon the bed, A bottle 
 +of Whiskey At his feet, and a gallon of Porter At his head
 +
 +And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your Partner, welt the floor, your trotters

 +Some times I get so fired up I never feel like coming down. But your attitude

 +I've got a solution for you today.
 +
 +We'll take the front seat mister and we're never gonna take the back, we'll take 
 +the front seat, mister liberal scum to the back.
 +
 +You come forward with an attitude forthright. But it's only temporary, feigned 
 +and fucking tried. We have an ongoing war me and you, but I've got the answer 
 +and I know what to do
 +
 +We'll take the front seat mister and we're never gonna take the back, we'll take 
 +the front seat, mister liberal scum to the back.

 +the front seat, mister liberal scum to the back.

 +
 +Billy ran around with the rare old crew. And he knew an arsenal from Tottenham 
 +blue We'd be a darn sight better off if we knew where Billy's bones are resting

 +five foot three Then he hit him fair and square in the do-re-me That copper 
 +won't be having any family

 +saw the Arabs and he had'em on the run when he got'em In the range of his sub 
 +machine gun Then he got the Israelis in his sights, went ra-ta-ta And they ran 
 +like Shi-ites

 +and singing on The Lebanon line Came back to camp not looking too pretty never 
 +even got To see the Holy City
 +
 +Now Billy's out there in the desert sun and his mother cries When the morning 
 +comes And there's mother's crying all over the world, for their poor Dead 
 +darling boys and girls Hey Billy son where are you now, Born on a Monday, 
 +married on a Tuesday, Drunk on a Wednesday, got plugged on a Thursday, sick on a 
 +Friday, Died on a Saturday, buried on Sunday
 +
 +
 +==== Guns Of Brixton ====
 +
 +When they kick at your front door, How you gonna come? With your hands on your 
 +head, Or on the trigger of your gun. When the law break in, How you gonna go? 
 +Shot down on the pavement Or waiting on death row.

 +of Brixton

 +caught him with a gun. No need for the Black Maria, Goodbye to the Brixton sun.
 +
 +You can crush us, You can bruise us, But you'll have to answer to Oh, the guns 
 +of Brixton
 +
 +When they kick at your front door, How you gonna come? With your hands on your

 +
 +
 +==== On The Attack ====
 +
 +The scene often changes, the kids come and go but history's for sure and this 
 +much I know. the root of tough music for america's youth was old school 
 +hardcore, you know it's the truth!
 +
 +This is my world, wolfpack, last rights. The kids will have their say another 
 +wasted night.
 +
 +There's many forms of music, and they all play a part, as long as the meaning 
 +comes straight from the heart. So open you eyes and please use your brain, 
 +'cause Punk, Oi!, and Hardcore, are one in the same
 +
 +This is my world, wolfpack, last rights. The kids will have their say another 
 +wasted night.
 +
 +Because today we carry on, and the numbers have grown, A social movement that we 
 +call our own. So Let's stick together with our friends at our backs, because the 
 +climate is changing, We're on the ATTACK!
 +
 +This is my world, wolfpack, last rights. The kids will have their say another 
 +wasted night.
 +
 +
 +==== Watch Your Back (Cock Sparer) ====
 +
 +Everybody's talking about revolution, Everybody's talking about smash the state. 
 +Sounds to me like the final solution. Left wing, right wing, full of hate.
 +
 +We don't wanna fight, because you tell us to. So watch your back when you attack 
 +', Coz we might just turn on you.
 +
 +Things get worse with every hour, the future fades into the past. All they want 
 +is total power, climbing on the backs of the working class. We don't wanna be 
 +part of no new religion, we don't wanna be part of a political dream. We just 
 +wanna get on living our lives.
 +
 +We don't wanna fight, because you tell us to. So watch your back when you attack 
 +', Coz we might just turn on you.
