Verse

Chorus

V1:

It’s been much warmer but they don’t give a shit

Get heat from tonic wine and smoking bucket kits

20 odd young faces peering into the dark

Awaiting the stramash in the public park

Chorus

Bring your bottles, bring your sticks,

bring your stones and break your bones

Smash your bottles, whack your sticks,

throw your stones and break your bones

The local rag will preach the fortunes

of the kids from broken homes

Suburban life should teach them right

and they’re alright if they’re own their own

V2:

The calm is choked by a distant scream

And the hollow chant of one “Young Team”

Cut-off in answer by a blood thirsty cry

The shouts of “Young Derry” and “We’ll Fight Or Die!”

Chorus

V3:

It kicks off in style and after only a short while

Blood has been drawn and a face has been sawn

20 odd shadows run into the dark

Ending the stramash in the public park

Chorus

V4:

One shadow collapses at the edge of the green

The silence falls and it’s all serene

Street lamps flicker for miles around

And leaves are rustling, blowing on the ground
