Shankill Butchers |
The Shankill butchers ride tonight |
You better shut your windows tight |
Theyre sharpening their cleavers and their knives |
And taking all their whisky by the pint |
Cuz everybody knows |
If you dont mind your mother’s words |
A wicked wind will blow |
Your ribbons from your curls |
Everybody moan everybody shake |
The shankill butchers wanna catch you |
Awake |
They used to be just like me and you |
They used to be sweet little boys |
But something went horribly askew |
Now killing is their only source of joy |
Cuz everybodys knows… |
(repeat) |
The shankill butchers on the rise |
Theyre waiting till the dead of night |
Theyre picking at their fingers with their knives |
And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs |
Cuz everybod knows… |
(repeat) |
The shankill butchers wanna kill you |
The shankill butchers wanna cut you |
The shankill butchers wanna catch you |
Awake |
Awake |
Awake |
Awake |
