Chucky where did you hear it .... who is it by?
Chucky Armagh
I heard a version by Gary Og on his "Live in Glasgow" CD.

The chorus goes (I think) ...

"There's no time for love when they come in the morning,
No time to show fear or for tears in the morning,
No time for godbyes, no time to ask why.
The sound of the siren, is the sound of the morning..."

Is this it?

No Time for Love (Moving Hearts --Jack Warshaw)

You call it the law,
We call it apartheid internment conscription partition and silence
It's a law that they make to keep you and me where they think we belong
They hide behind steel and bullet-proof glass, machine guns and spies
And they tell us who suffered the teargas and torture that we're in the wrong

CHORUS:
No time for love if they come in the morning
No time to show tears or for fears in the morning
No time for goodbye no time to ask why
And the sound of the sirens the cry of the morning

They suffered the torture they rotted in cells went crazy wrote letters and died
The limits of pain they endured but the loneliness got them instead
And the courts gave them justice, as justice is given by well-mannered thugs
Sometimes they fought for the will to survive more times they just wished they were dead

They took away Sacco Vanzetti Connolly and Pearse in their time
They came for Newton and Seale, Bobby Sands and some of his friends
In Boston, Chicago, Saigon, Santiago, Warsaw and Belfast
And places that never make headlines the list never ends

The boys in blue are only a few of the everyday cops on their beat
The C.I.D. branchmen, informers and spies do their jobs just as well
Behind them the men who tap phones take photos program computers and files
And the man who tells them when to come and take you to your cell

They tell us that here we are free to live our lives as we please
To march, to write, and to sing so long as we do it alone
But say it or do it with comrades united and strong
And they'll take you for a long rest with walls and barbed wire for your home

So come all you people who give to your brothers and sisters the will to fight on
They say you can get used to this war, that doesn't mean that this war isn't on
The fish need the sea to survive just like your comrades need you
And the death squad can only get through to them if first they can get through to you
