lyrics

Anthony was a paper boy
The likes of which we'll not see again
Burnt his soles out on the streets
Of aul Belfast come sun or rain
And all the local kids named him Gaga
For he was a man of special needs
And every scumbag near or far
Would rob him as he walked his beat

Up the Shankill
Down the Falls
From the Bone
To Harpers st.
Anthony Gaga was the greatest paper boy
We've ever seen

But all the beatings
All of them soon stopped
For his aul Da wasn't shy of guns
He'd come home with a fresh black eye
And some boy would find his knees done
But some smart cunt got to thinking one day
I bet that dafty planks his cash
Lads if we follow him on his root
Soon enough we'll find his stash

Up the Shankill
Down the Falls
From the Bone
To Harpers st.
Anthony Gaga was the greatest paper boy
We've ever seen

So they followed him for a few long days
And just when they were ready to give up
He pulled a bulging sock out from his coat
And them rats they thought they were in luck
And as soon as he left his hiding place
They ran like jackles to claim their prize
And when the ring leader forced his hand in the sock
It came out covered in Anthonys' shite

Up the Shankill
Down the Falls
From the Bone
To Harpers st.
Anthony Gaga was the greatest paper boy
We've ever seen

Ya see our hero knew as well as us
That these buck eejits were following him
So he made a plan while on the bog
And it makes me smile to think of him
Not every story has a moral
But this one does and it's a fuckin hit
Special needs people aren't stupid
And smart cunts can be thick as shit

Up the Shankill
Down the Falls
From the Bone
To Harpers st.
Anthony Gaga was the greatest paper boy
We've ever seen

Up the Shankill
Down the Falls
From the Bone
To Harpers st.
Anthony Gaga was the greatest paper boy
We've ever seen
