lyrics

Take the boots
From your mothers house
They come out black
And her not at all

In Galway Bay, Father Griffin lay
His body burned in a Barna bog

What say you of these black and tans?
In Cook you can catch a bullet
With pocketed hands

Take the boots
From your mothers house
With wolves to your front
And trumpets at your back

Albeit darkened streets
In back rooms we meet
No songs of freedom
Brother that's just a work

On that November day
We shot down the cafe gang
We served them well
Secured our place in hell

What say you of these black and tans?
In Cook you can catch a bullet
With pocketed hands

This Glasgow band is less straightforward or formulaic than many others currently treading the '80s post-punk path. These songs are winged. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2017

Not Like This

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool
