Subject: Lyr Add: NO TIME FOR LOVE (Jack Warshaw)
Thanks... I just copied this out off his album. For Filberto, No Time for Love : Christy Moore
They call it the law, we call it apartheid, internment, conscription, partition and silence Its the law that they make to keep you and me where they think we belong they hide behind steal and bullet proof glass machine guns and spies and they tell who suffer the teargas and torture that we're in the wrong
Chorus no time for love if they come in the morning no time to show tears of for fears in the morning no time for good by no time to ask why and the sound of the siren is the cry of the morning
they suffer the torture the rotted in cells when crazy wrote letters and died the limits of pain they endured but the loneliness got them instead and the courts gave them justice as justice is given by well mannered thugs sometimes they fought for the will to survive ,but more times they just wished they were dead
The took away young Francis Hughes and his cousin Tom McElwee as well they came for Patsy O'Hara, Bobby Sands and some of his friends In Boston Chicago, Saigon, San Diego, Warsaw and Belfast and places that never make headlines the list never ends
The boys in blue are only a few of the everyday cops on the beat The CID branch men the Blacks and the Gilmores do their jobs as well behind them the men who tap phones take photos program computers and files and the man who tells them when to come and take you to your cell
Come all of you people who give to your sisters and your brothers the will to survive they say you can get used to a war but that does not mean the war isn't on the fish need the sea to survive just like your people need you and the death squad can only get through to them if first can get through to you
