The Alarm "Sixty Eight Guns"

Banda Galesa de pop rock, creada en 1982 y que sigue activa hoy en día, esta canción es de su primer disco "Declaration" (1984), influencias de The Clash y los primeros U2.

And now they're trying to take my life away

Forever young i cannot stay

Hey

On every corner i can see them there

They don't know my name they don't know my kind

They're after you with their promises

(promises of love)

They're after you to sign your life away

(yeah, yeaoh)

Sixty-eight guns will never die

Sixty-eight guns our battle cry

Sixty-eight guns

Sixty-eight guns

Oh, the sixty-eight

Living in the backstreets

That's our home from home

The painted walls were all we've ever known

the guns forever' that's our battle cry

It is the flag that we fly so high

For every day they

'll try and drag us down

(drag us down and down)

I cry with anger i have done no crime

No

(yeah, yeaoh)

Sixty-eight guns will never die

Sixty-eight guns our battle cry

Sixty-eight guns will never die

Sixty-eight guns our battle cry

Sixty-eight guns

Sixty-eight guns

The sixty-eight

Up on the terrace i can hear the crowd roar

Sixty eight guns

And in the subway i can hear them whisper

Sixty eight guns

Through all the raging glory of the years

We never once thought of the fears

For what we'd do when the battle cry was over.

Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you when you're young

(i, i do swearTo unbreak the promise

To unbreak the vowUnbreak it)

When you're young

Have no illusion, no disillusion

Unbreak the promise

Unbreak the vow

Uphold the promise

Sixty eight guns

Sixty-eight guns will never die

Sixty-eight guns our battle cry

Sixty-eight guns will never die

Sixty-eight guns our battle cry

Sixty-eight guns

Sixty-eight guns

The sixty eight guns

Sixty eight guns

The sixty eight guns
