| Just seen the soldiers on patrol in Derry
|
| What they thinking?
|
| Bet they wish they could stay at home
|
| Go out drinking in the evening
|
| Just seen the newsprint tonight
|
| Violence increasing, an explosion
|
| Suddenly a public house went off bang
|
| Foul play suspected, someone’s cheating
|
| Surely you see at the top of the stairs
|
| A young mother cries
|
| Convinced that her husband lies bleeding, defying
|
| While 13 more died
|
| See how her eyes glow
|
| She’s going insane
|
| And you tell me enquiries will show
|
| Who’s to blame
|
| But next Sunday at 2, it will happen again, again
|
| So you think you can get away
|
| Go down to Brighton for a season
|
| Discuss the issues from day to day
|
| Looking for reasons on paper
|
| Surely you see at the side of the road
|
| What looks like a bomb
|
| Shoppers with children lie bleeding and dying
|
| But what have they done
|
| See how our eyes glow
|
| We’re going insane
|
| And you tell me enquiries will show
|
| Whose to blame
|
| But Maudling, you fool, it will happen again, again |
