I love this song, but can't quite make it all out. Anyone got the words? Thanks.

Well My old mans a provo with a beret and a gun
I haven't seen him lately he's always on the run he looks so really trendy With his shoes and DM boots Far cooler than those other dads In ties and shirts and suits The Brits and police all ask me Each time that I go out They ask me if i've seen me dad and if he's been about I say mind your own business Just leave me alone You shower are only jealous You've no fathers of your own Chorus On RTE last friday night A chap came on to say Please give us information About the I.R.A. He showed a provo unit As cruel as he coud be I know one was me daddy Cause he stoped and waved at me Chorus Me da has got me worried I think he's going soft There's half a ton of fertilizer Stored up in the loft Are you gonna be a farmer da I ask him just for fun He said dont be an eijit Pass the coffee grinder son Chorus At Christmas time its lonely Me da is not at home The police are watching everywhere They've even taped the phone Last chrismas eve They staked out all our indows and our doors Then climbing down our chimny Came a Provo Sant Claus Chorus Me da is up in Long Kesh To me its just not right I say a special prayer for him When I go to bed at night Today it was his birthday I sent him in a cake With Semtex in the candles He'll be out before I wake |

Well singers sometimes either forget the words or use artistic liberty, but the original lyrics actually say CCTV (Closed Circuit TV, security cam)

Our quest for perfection and accuracy in all matters may seem trivial to some, but it is a holy quest none the less. :lol: |
