alistair hulett and dave swarbrick – the granite cage lyrics
[verse 1]
the iron door bangs shut
they’ve got ye noo john where they want ye
ye’ll claw the walls before they’re through wi’ you
and a’ yer demons come tae haunt ye
ye’ll curse the day, ye’ll fear the night
ye’ll live on water and stale breid
till yer fleish dwines an’ yer hoastin’ up yer bleid
in the granite cage at peterheid
[chorus]
haud on john wi’ a’ yе’ve got
there’s freens outsidе who’ll no’ forsake ye
wee pale blue forget+me+not
i fear this time they’re oot tae break ye
[verse 2]
huddled in yer bed at night, too cauld tae sleep an’ feart tae dream
ye paid in full the price that martyrs have tae pay
who dare tae swim against the stream
regrets and doubts, ye must have had yer share
for every floo’er that grows there’s aye a weed
ye sacrificed yer life for socialism’s creed
in the granite cage at peterheid
[chorus]
haud on john wi’ a’ ye’ve got
there’s freens outside who’ll no’ forsake ye
wee pale blue forget+me+not
i fear this time they’re oot tae break ye
[verse 3]
hear the measured steps ootside
psychopaths decked oot in navy twill
haud yer breath until yer sure they’ve passed yer cell
s+d+stic bampots oot tae maim and k!ll
someone screams, thank christ it wisnae you
wan mair poor b+st+rd driven aff his heid
the drugs are kickin’ in, yer mind is a’ abreid
in the granite cage at peterheid
[chorus]
haud on john wi’ a’ ye’ve got
there’s freens outside who’ll no’ forsake ye
wee pale blue forget+me+not
i fear this time they’re oot tae break ye
[verse 4]
wee pale blue forget+me+not
favourt floo’er o’ wor dear maclean
ye daur tae blossom whaur cement and cobbled stane
jine forces tae mak’ sure ye stand alane
in every crack another floo’er grows
the day is yet tae come but gi’e it speed
when a’ the wee floo’ers rise up an’ spread their seed
ower the granite cage at peterheid
[chorus]
haud on john wi’ a’ ye’ve got
there’s freens outside who’ll no’ forsake ye
wee pale blue forget+me+not
i fear this time they’re oot tae break ye
the iron door bangs shut
