|
Two, three, four... |
|
The shankill butchers ride tonight |
|
You better shut your windows tight |
|
They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives |
|
And taking all their whiskey by the pint |
|
'Cause everybody knows |
|
If you don't mind your mother's words |
|
A wicked wind will blow |
|
Your ribbons from your curls |
|
Everybody moan, everybody shake, |
|
The shankill butchers wanna catch you |
|
Awake |
|
They used to be just like me and you |
|
They used to be sweet little boys |
|
But something went horribly askew |
|
Now killing is their only source of joy |
|
'cause everybody knows... |
|
[Repeat:] |
|
The shankill butchers on the rise |
|
They're waiting till the dead of night |
|
They're picking at their fingers with their knives |
|
And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs |
|
'Cause everybody knows... |
|
[Repeat:] |
|
The shankill butchers wanna catch you |
|
The shankill butchers wanna cut you |
|
The shankill butchers wanna catch you |
|
Awake |
|
Awake |
|
Awake |
|
Awake |
