very true at the moment...Banana RepublicSeptic IsleScreaming in the Suffering seaIt sounds like crying (crying, crying)Everywhere I go, oh yeahEverywhere I seeThe black and blue uniformsPolice and priestsAnd I wonder do you wonderWhile you're sleeping with your whoreThat sharing beds with historyIs like a-licking running soresForty shades of green yeahSixty shades of redHeroes going cheap these daysPrice; a bullet in the headBanana RepublicSeptic IsleSuffer in the Screaming seaIt sounds like dying (dying, dying)Everywhere I go, oh yeahEverywhere I seeThe black and blue uniformsPolice and priestsTake your hand and lead youUp a garden pathLet me stand aside hereAnd watch you passStriking up a soldier's songI know that tuneIt begs too many questionsAnd answers tooBanana RepublicSeptic IsleSuffer in the Screaming seaIt sounds like dying (dying, dying)Everywhere I go, oh yeahEverywhere I seeThe black and blue uniformsPolice and priestsThe purple and the pinstripeMutely shake their headsA silense shrieking volumesA violence worse than they condemnStab you in the back yeahLaughing in your faceGlad to see the place againIt's a pity nothing's changedBanana RepublicSeptic IsleSuffer in the Screaming seaIt sounds like dyingEverywhere I goEverywhere I seeThe black and blue uniformsPolice and priests

The last big bit for the group.

Got them banned when originally released and was about the troubles in Ireland and the way the priests were abusing kids etc. That said today this song could probably be taken to mean any bloody country

Tego utworu nie pamiętam, ale są jednak inne przeboje.Bob Geldof to jednak twórcza postać, zrobił troszkę w historii muzyki...........Dużo można pisać ale wystarczy.

Jim McManus
