Fellas, do you have the lyrics for this one? And may be for "Super Grass"?

QUOTE (Sean @ Jul 10 2005, 07:35 AM) Hi, Hope these are the one you are looking for :-) THE ARMAGH SNIPER In South Armagh there is a man who has a long ranged gun He said "I`ll show them army boys there`s nowhere they can run" He was the South Armagh sniper He`d pick a spot and wait the whole day through Until a Brit patrol came into view The Armagh sniper he never missed his mark He was lethal in the daytime and deadly in the dark If he gets you in his sights you`d better say your prayers So British troops go home or else beware Soon his reputation spread through Ulster like wildfire The list of British casualties just kept on getting higher It was the South Armagh sniper He made the British forces think again Of wandering at night through Crossmaglen The Armagh sniper the Brits were terrified They could never pin him down no matter how they tried If he gets you in his sights he`ll make widows of your wives So Brits go home while you still have your lives Now in London and in Dublin they pretend to speak of peace They say give us your guns and we shall make this bloodshed cease But the South Armagh sniper He`s heard their lies and double talk before He won`t be fooled or cheated any more The Armagh sniper he hasn`t gone away His rifles always loaded he`s just waiting for the day So if the British forces should break their word well then The sniper will go back to work again THE SUPERGRASS SONG Now when Ireland we rosen up at last Theres the UDR the Army and the SAS But the lowest of the low is the foe you do not know And thats the man they call the supergrass [chorus] Singing rifa ter a ludy tera lee Theres no one who can tell a lie like me You can search until you tire youll never find a bigger liar Im the supergrass youve seen me on TV I can name you people I have never seen I can tell you places I have never been For if the moneys right I could tell black was white I could tell you Gerry Adams loves the queen Spare a thought for poor Kirkpatrick and for Black Sure theyre nervous now that Gilmours got the sack For they put their trust in villains and they took the saxon shillings Their own hands put the noose around their necks To my native land I bid a fond farewell Where Im going is the one thing I wont tell But Ill keep a watch behind for if anyman should find me The only place Ill ever go is hell You might see my face in some exotic bar In New Zealand or far off Africa I have no friends or relations I betrayed the Irish nation Thirty silver pieces doesnt get you far |

(IMG:/forum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Well, as far as I know (or as far as I deduced, after some reading (IMG:/forum/style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) ), a supergrass is a kind of informer or mole... no idea why they're called supergrass, but...
