lirik lagu we've got hostiles - dunkirk spirit
[verse 1]
the aul woman down the street, in my mind, a saint
you probably know her in some way, awk you do, you’d know her face
well, something’s come over her terribly as of late
’cause despite a victory, furiously claimed, she’s still f~cking irate
gnashing her t~~th, gesticulating wildly
if you dared to even question or ask her to explain why
there’s just no talking to her
she pointed to the boy on the tv
a plant hand~picked by the bbc with whom she wholeheartedly agreed
when he said it needed to be gotten on with, taken back, or wrenched back from control
but what it was, she didn’t know
sure, now you go down the town and it’s a rotten hole, she said
all them ones on the dole
or those who have the audacity to ask her if she’d like a magazine
i saw her with four debit cards, she gets nothin’ from me
[interlude]
is this who we are?
[verse 2]
that’s nothing compared to her mate
who nodded along and said she’d be absolutely be fine with
putting less food on the plate
as long as the somali family she read about online in something a friend sent to her
well, they don’t get to make a claim
it’s a d~mn shame, where this country’s going, she said
let’s take it back to a version where it was golden instead
one she never lived in, but one she was told of by her aul one
where they stiffed it out tough as the germans were bombing
thousands died, and food was rationed
yet the ones in parliament were doing just fine
they were asking us, where’s our british pride?
chin up, shoulders back, we’re all in this, they’d say
as they’d retreat to their state homes while her ma toiled away
at least the pride part, that’s all grandma remembers
reading it on a wartime poster somewhere
[verse 3]
suddenly alfie across the road
is very keen on where fishermen can take their boats
he picks up the paper and seethes about how the french hate us despite the fact that we once saved them, he says
though he never even lifted a finger
now he reckons he’s on the front lines
after having never seen war in his whole life
made fat from the spoils of war
he’s looking for a fight because he’s bored
and the papers are filling his mind with insane sh~te
[chorus]
i just want the aul ones back
i just want the aul ones back
i just want the aul ones back
i just want the aul ones back
[verse 4]
i’m sorry i don’t have flowery language
nor sp~ce for verifiable figures
and as ironic as it seems
i’m just going off on how i feel
but i just want the aul ones back
down the street, in the shop, at the table
and i know you do too
cause they’ve been sold on a fable
those same ones that raised you
