the irish brigade - my old man lyrics
[chorus]
well, my old man’s a provo
with a beret and a gun
i haven’t seen him lately
he’s always on the run
he looks so really trendy
in his shades and dm boots
far cooler than those other dads
in ties and shirts and suits!
[verse 1]
the brits and police harass me
each time that i go out
they ask me if i’ve seen my da and if he’s been about
i say “mind your own business, oh just leave me alone!
you sure are only jealous you’ve no fathers of your own!”
[chorus]
well, my old man’s a provo
with a beret and a gun
i haven’t seen him lately
he’s always on the run
he looks so really trendy
in his shades and dm boots
far cooler than those other dads
in ties and shirts and suits!
[verse 2]
on our tv last friday night a cop came on to say
“please give us information about the i.r.a!”
he showed a provo unit on security tv
i know one was me daddy, for he stopped and waved at me!
[chorus]
well, my old man’s a provo
with a beret and a gun
i haven’t seen him lately
he’s always on the run
he looks so really trendy
in his shades and dm boots
far cooler than those other dads
in ties and shirts and suits!
[verse 3]
my dad has got me worried
i think he’s going soft
there’s half a ton of fertilizer
stored up in our lawn!
“are you gonna be a farmer, dad?” i asked him just for fun
he said “don’t be an eejit, pass the coffee grinder, son!”
[chorus]
well, my old man’s a provo
with a beret and a gun
i haven’t seen him lately
he’s always on the run
he looks so really trendy
in his shades and dm boots
far cooler than those other dads
in ties and shirts and suits!
[verse 4]
at christmas time it’s lonely
when daddy’s not at home
the police are watching everywhere
they’ve even tapped our phone!
last christmas eve they staked out
all our windows and our doors
when climbing down the chimney
came a provo santa claus!
[chorus]
well, my old man’s a provo
with a beret and a gun
i haven’t seen him lately
he’s always on the run
he looks so really trendy
in his shades and dm boots
far cooler than those other dads
in ties and shirts and suits!
[verse 5]
my daddy’s up in long kesh now
to me it’s just not right
i’ll say a special prayer for him when i get home tonight
today it was his birthday
i sent him in a cake
there was semtex in the candles
he’ll be out before i wake!
[chorus]
well, my old man’s a provo
with a beret and a gun
i haven’t seen him lately
he’s always on the run
he looks so really trendy
in his shades and dm boots
far cooler than those other dads
in ties and shirts and suits!
[outro]
well, my old man’s a provo
with a beret and a gun
i haven’t seen him lately
he’s always on the run
he looks so really trendy
in his shades and dm boots
far cooler than those other dads
in ties and shirts and suits!
far cooler than those other dads
in ties and shirts and suits!
