Alarm The Sixty Eight Guns Lyrics

Sixty Eight Guns Lyrics

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 swear

 To unbreak the promise

 To unbreak the vow

 

 Unbreak 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
