Best Stiff Little Fingers Track

[Deportivo Seagull]

If we're doing the Clash why not SLF?

Stating the obvious ... Alternative Ulster .. not so obvious (In an)Emergency ...

BTW, playing Concorde 2 in March.

 

[Juan Albion]

Oooh, so many to choose from.

Yes, "Alternative Ulster", but how about something more recent like "Harp" ?

 

[Superphil]

Inflamable Material,

it's the first track on the first punk album I ever bought, still got it and it is fantastic.

I suspect you mean "Suspect Device."

 

[Superphil]

Yeah you know I do, it just started "burning in my head" as soon as I read the thread title so I typed it straight in.

D'oh!

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

TIN SOLDER - Top tune.

(Fingers/Ogilvie)
He joined up to get a job and show he wasn't scared
Swapped boy scout hat for army cap, he thought he'd be prepared
At the age of 17 he was forced to choose
At the age of 21 he's in Catch 22
He joined up for just three years, it seemed a small amount
But they didn't tell him that the first two didn't count
At the age of 17 how was he to know
That at the age of 21 he'd still have one to go?
(Chorus)
Tin soldier, he signed away his name
Tin soldier, no chance for cash or fame
Tin soldier, now he know the truth
Tin soldier, he signed away his youth
He joined up cos Dad knew best, to do right by his son
And now he hates and counts the dates that mark time on square one
At the age of 17 he did as he was told
Now at the age of 21 tin still won't turn to gold
(Chorus)
If at the age of 17 you fall in line too soon
Then at the age of 21 you'll still march to their tune
Tin soldier, you signed away your name
Tin soldier, no chance for cash or fame
Tin soldier, you never see the truth
Tin soldier, you sign away your youth
Tin soldier, you go and join the queue
Tin soldier, do what they want you to
Tin soldier, they take away your name
Tin soldier, they treat you all the same
Sign away your life

[El Presidente]

Wasted life (and they've stolen it away)

 

[The Laughing Bluebird]

"Here We Are Nowhere" & "Gotta Gettaway" would be my choices.

 

[El Presidente]

Saw them last year and Jake had kindly written some new songs so that we could replenish our glasses every 20 minutes without missing anything decent

 

[Padders]

Suspect Device

 

[Seagull's Return]

Wasted life, Suspect Device, Alternative Ulster (if only for the intro).

 

[simon swagbag]

"Wait & See" off Nobodies Heroes.

We had no money but still we went on,
trying to get some gear.
A bashed up cymbal & a bass drum,
Our financial state was clear.

 

[FG aka Football Genius.]

[Brighton Jock]

Suspect Device for me..........
