https://soundcloud.com/steve-lewis-36/terrace-toeragsI haven't had the urge for a while if I'm honest, to write songs that is. Then I watched an England match (yea..a Welsh bloke watching England of all things) and they were playing a former Eastern Block country, and I just couldn't believe the hatred and xenophobia from the opposition supporters. So I wrote this.
Terrace Toerags
Terrace toerags monkey chanting
Uninformed in uniforms
Hide their faces looking pretty
Hide from fathers hide from sons
Salute the without an inkling
Of what it means to those have been
In the chambers of forgiving
Those that suffered still unseen
Wear your black wear your red
Wear it out you fools instead
Your future fell into the past
You’ve been overthrown at last
In an empty crowd no-one sees you
Turn our back on your uniforms
Shout it loud but no-one hears you
Stand together but all alone
Salute the without an inkling
Of what it means to those have been
In the chambers of forgiving
Those that suffered still unseen
Wear your black wear your red
Wear it out you fools instead
Your future fell into the past
You’ve been overthrown at last
