Barred For Life

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Nobby was a shit-for-brain

Tho everybody loved him to his boots for all his pains

Dirty racist pig was no friend o' mine

I'm glad I won't be drinkin' there again

(Barred for life!)

I'm just a regular boy lookin' for a rockin' girl; they're not too many

That takes pride and joy in workin' hard to live a life less ordinary

I dont wanna die in this town, I'll smash it up for tearin' me down

I'll leave you to yerselves, you can fight like cats & dogs

And call each other sheilas, poofs & wogs

Chronically unemployed, nice & tall, sorta smart & kinda pretty

She likes the boy-oi-oi,s, the dirty rats that dwell beneath this silver city

Brag it up, no woman no cry, if you can still look me square in the eye

I'll leave you to yer mates and yer cheap domestic beer

To call each other darkies, dykes & queers

What became of all the 'pleases & thank you's'?

They went down fightin' all the 'me first's & fuck you's'

Radio say’s theres more bad weather on the way

Man-up & soldier on, I only hope I don't live to regret it

We don't know what we want, but sure as hell we'll

Kill each other just to get it

Shallow waters always make the most noise

Mutton heads make for scared little boys

Ace it up, no need to act so tough

I'm sorry sir I think youve had enough!

One mans banner's just as bad as the other

I dont march for anybody else..
