junior bill - the butetown rats lyrics

Loading...

there’s a bomb in the docks from world war ii
and no one knew what to do
there’s a bomb in the docks from world war ii
and no one knew what to do
councillors, old sailors too
none of them had half a clue
so keep this between me and you
there’s a bomb in the docks from world war ii

one cold night in ’43
under rubble and debris
an unexploded bomb was found
near the curran’s factory
the council wanted it thrown away
locals wanted it on display
docks, bute, tiger bay
none of them would have their say

we rats had nowhere to hide
where to hide? where to hide?
waiting for the butetown blitz to subside
to subside, to subside
with swallowed pride

’cause no one knew quite what to do
with the bomb in the docks from world war ii

’cause there’s a bomb in the docks from world war ii
and no one knew what to do
there’s a bomb in the docks from world war ii
and no one knew what to do
councillors, old sailors too
none of them had half a clue
so keep this between me and you
there’s a bomb in the docks from world war ii

deep beneath the city streets
for centuries we’ve lived in peace
but we’re taking the bomb for ourselves
for the good of the community
we are the last blast of the old filth
from before the bay was built
we now claim what’s rightly ours
and tonight blood will be spilled

we are the keepers of this city, this city, this city
we’re gonna blow up the mermaid quay, the mermaid quay, the mermaid quay
we are the keepers of this city, this city, this city
we’re gonna blow up the mermaid quay, the mermaid quay, the mermaid quay

’cause there’s a bomb in the docks from world war ii
and no one knew what to do
there’s a bomb in the docks from world war ii
and no one knew what to do
councillors, old sailors too
none of them had half a clue
so keep this between me and you
there’s a bomb in the docks from world war ii

we are the keepers of this city, this city, this city
we’re gonna blow up the mermaid quay, the mermaid quay, the mermaid quay
we are the keepers of this city, this city, this city
we’re gonna blow up the mermaid quay
we’re gonna blow up the mermaid quay
