lyrics

Italia 90

When I was just a nipper
My da bought me a football
Its was a mitre delta
So I gave the boys a call
The street it was our pitch
The gates became our goals
And all the aul ladies would shout
Go and play outside your own doors
And that's what it was like
Growing up in Belfast town

We started up a match
Everything was going rightly
Then in the middle of the street
Pulls up this motor doing about 90
Out jumped two boy-yos
With a rifle and a mortar
And attacked the lookout post
At the barracks on the corner
And that's what it was like
Growing up in Belfast town

Well we all hit the ground
Just like we had been taught
There were parents there were soldiers
And alarms were going off
And as i surveyed the scene
Yeah what struck me most of all
Was by the time I'd stood up
Some hairy cunt had stole my ball
And that's what it was like
Growing up in Belfast town
