You've got to turn it around, see things on the flip side,
Shadows move if you get the light right,
Change now, broaden your spectrum,
Change your perception their words dissect them.
Turn it around, yeah you gotta turn it around,
Yeah you gotta turn it around,
Yeah you gotta turn it around, turn it around

I'll ask you a question, am I the (don)?,
Spell the word don backwards there's your awnser (nod),
I'm like vegetable in the (pot),
I rise to the (top),
I'm a dick yeah but you can't (bonk) without a (knob),
(Pat) myself on the back,
I won't run like a (tap),
I'll hang around like a (bat) and pick up your (tab),
Coz I'm a nice guy like that, see I'm not all (bad),
I'll have a (gab) give you my (bag)
Look 'here have a (dab)',
Ok now you know I don't give a (dam) I ain't (mad),
You ain't got no (gat) you ain't it, this ain't (tag),
Hush your (gums),
Stop being so (smug),
You're the (gum) on my shoe you absolute (mug),
I never met anyone who played sport with baseball (bats),
Not everyone who carries knives always (stab),
A lot of its front dears trying to be the (stag),
But forget government (gats) don't take (part) it's a (trap).
Instrumental
These (rats) want to attack the (star) boring I'm yawning,
What I'm (faced) with is nothing like (decaf) in the morning,
You're a (dot) in a dot to dot,
All on your (tod),
A (boy) acting like a (yob),
A (dog) trying be a (God),
Boy cried wolf, the lies did flow when the massacre was (on) the shepherd's said (no),
It didn't matter what it (was) that he (saw),
His lie decided to (swap) livestock for bloody (paws),
If you weren't friends with them would you slap your (pals)?,
Would you act like a slag if you didn't hang with them (gals)?'
Time to re-evaluate time to change the (tide),
It's your life you can (edit) as and when you like,
On your death bed you could have (lived) as the (devil),
Drop the 'D' just (live) forget the (evil),
I'm trying move forward but I come across backwards,
Once you've said the words you can't take back words.
You've got to turn it around, see things on the flip side,
Shadows move if you get the light right,
Change now, broaden your spectrum,
Change your perception their words dissect them.
Turn it around yeah you gotta turn it around,
Yeah you gotta turn it around,
Yeah you gotta turn it around turn it around

YEEEES!
YEEEES!
Twenty years later than I would have liked, but hells yes! I stumbled upon "No manners in Ireland" yesterday, cueing the easiest binge buy in a while. This is a nice blend of skillful instrumentalism, great lead voice and good tunes. The old Toasters / Madness / Bosstones fan in me is bouncing off the ceiling again. Thank you for that. You seem to be gathering steam as well. Here's to a long run! raphaelhythlodai
I can safely say I've never been this excited over a piece of plastic in my entire life! This is awesome! It's impossible to pick a favourite when every track is a banger. The lyrics are on point and delivered with an acerbic wit and passion that leaves me in no doubt that they're spoken from the heart. I need more of this in my life! Dylan Barry
