about

Live off the floor at Mushroom Studios in '85. Always thought about giving this one a makeover, perhaps even adding bagpipes. Huh. Someone's always after me to write another verse as well ... We'll see.

lyrics

BLOODY STREETS

We lived in a shack outside of town
Papa worked the tired land
My brother ran and joined the rebels in the hills

I was approaching the awkward teens
When the soldiers dragged Papa away
I vowed that they should harm him blood should surely spill

And then our border town was under siege
And the tanks came rolling in
If the battle ever ended
Only bloody streets would win

A woman held a dying child
And tears rushed down my cheek
I had a brother once ...
I lost him on these bloody streets
I had a brother once ...
I lost him on these bloody streets
