You can stick your decommissioning up your ass

I guess this is what you are looking for, Vitaly. I can't say I like the song (I didn't know it before doing a search). But a song is a song and a request for lyrics is a request for lyrics and noone knows the motives for a request.

The song from which the above line is can be found here.

Mmm, interesting politically and sociologically. When are republicans going to realise that the enemy in not the "crown" but the Protestant people who will not and cannot be coerced. Britain has declared "no selfish interest" in NI. Britain is now merely the referee. Have the repub. fundamentalists learned nothing in the last 30 years? Incidentally I'm a Catholic and a born and bred Irish citizen (republic).

Having been born into northern Protestant Republican family, I take no small offence to your comment, Tim... take out the "the" to mitigate the sillyness of your comment. Fact is, England and NATO have fulmented violence in Ireland for reasons which have nothing to do with sectairian hatred or democracy. It is no cooincidence that secret negotions with the IRA began when the Soviet Union broke up, and NATO did not have to guard the Scappa flow in the same manner, and the Republic put nutrality aside to let NATO use Irish airbases to bomb Irac, suddunly it was possible to talk to "terrorists". Ian Pasley is not the problem, he is the puppet who out lived his use to the puppetmaster.
As ever looking for truth and reconcilliation and PEACE!
No offence I hope

A nice offensive little song there, full of peace and love and understanding (not). It beggars the imagination to think that someone spent time writing it.

Grab.

Hi Big Tim..."When are republicans going to realise that the enemy in not the "crown" but the Protestant people who will not and cannot be coerced" Re-reading this, it can be taken two ways... 1. Irish northern protestants as a monolithic single minded community, or on second reading 2. those prodestants who....
I took it to mean Protestants were the problem not England, in the first reading... I see you must mean the second case...
sorry for the missunderstanding,
Larry

Just had a moment to read the song... not one that will go down as a triumph of Irish balladry... no Foggy Dew I'm afraid... I would hazard a guess it was written somewhere in the Bronx from the subtlty of the turn of the phrase...

Actually, no one has guarded Scapa Flow for very many years now - it was a fleet anchorage in the last two world wars but it is now quite uesless for such a task.

And NATO has many airbases nearer to Iraq than Ireland. Ireland is not a member of NATO.

Damn! I hit one of the goffers and missed the Decommissioning Song the first time.

After reading this thread a young Irish busker popped into my memory. I met Mark McArdle or McArtey in a pedestrian underpass while visiting London in 1969. He was singing to passers by and trying to make a living. There were many anti-British slogans that were spray painted on the walls behind him. I listened to his repertoire and we talked about the ongoing conflict. He was very pleasant, but somewhat fatalistic about all the violence. He looked as though he hadn't eaten for days, so I offered to pay him for his tunes by treating him to Wimpy's. We talked for about an hour and then we said goodbye. I would like to know what ever happened to Mark. I think he would be about 50 now. Do any of you UK Mudcatters know if Mark is still singing.
