"Never Alone"
(EP Version)

"Never Alone"
(EP Version)



You say it's because we're boisterous
You hate us 'cause we got our dignity
We'll stand together proud and strong
Is this is a place where we belong

We got loyal friends
We keep our heads held high,
We'll stick together you and I
Don't need no guns or no drugs on our streets
just a place to go and the boots on our feet.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.

Young skinhead they call you a hooligan
Just because you don't make any sense to them
But the blood that runs right down your wrist
Don't come from a knife, but the cuts on your fist

Your scar'd up knuckles and faded blue jeans
Are the colors you wear and the life that you've seen
You tell the truth look people in the eye
Don't live your life in no baggy disguise.

Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.

I don't need no gang to watch my ass
Just loyal friendship and a pint of Bass
We'll sweat in the ring and bleed in the streets
But our will and spirit cannot be beat

You can shoot and you can kick but together we'll stick
Through thick and thin not stick or stone
Can break the bond that has here grown
Arm and Arm We Fight As One.

Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
oi! oi! oi!
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone... The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.

"Never Forget"

"Never Forget"


In a child's eye there's something I hope someday you'll know
A friend's dedication, it's something to behold
A mother's smile, it makes everything alright
To a women's caring hand I'll be holding on tonight

[Chorus:]
When you got love and we got family [x2]
Keep 'em close and don't forget
To hold them right there in your heart
When you got love and family

(Whoa!, Whoa!)
(I'll remember you today)

To my father's stern direction
And the lessons that he taught
My grandmother's affection
And the faith I always fought
To the kids at the shows
The way you sing it back at us
And the boys down the park
When we were young and live was nuts

[Chorus:]
When you got love and we got family [x2]
Keep 'em close and don't forget
To hold them right there in your heart
When you got love and family

(Whoa!, Whoa!)
(I'll remember you today)

To all the single parents
Who keep holding down the fort
To all you sons & daughters
Be thankful for what you've got
To everyone with no one
May good fortune turn your way
To everyone whose had someone
Remember them today

[Chorus:]
When you got love and we got family [x2]
Keep 'em close and don't forget
To hold them right there in your heart
When you got love and family

"Noble"
(dedicated to the memory of Rob Noble)

"Noble"
(dedicated to the memory of Rob Noble)



You grew up honest and straight,
Always one of the guys
The laughs, the brews, good friends forever
"Drinking Camaraderie"
But then one night you were taken from us,
gone forever lost
Stolen away in an Ashmont Second
And I'll never forget the cost.
Number one!

[Chorus:]
He was a kid from the neighborhood
Cut down in a brutal fight
on a cold and lonely Ashmont night.

Coming up in a Turbulent Neighborhood,
He always stood upright
When things would turn for the wrongful doing,
Rob went to the right
But he was never given a chance
To traverse down life's path
Now with all these put into perspective,
Noble this one's for you
Number one!

[Chorus x2]

Never forget the great person you were
The pain and loss still burns
So much you had, but never realized
It never came your turn

He was a kid from the neighborhood [x3]
Cut down in a brutal fight
on a cold and lonely Ashmont night.

"Nobody's Hero"
(originally by Stiff Little Fingers)

"Nobody's Hero"
(originally by Stiff Little Fingers)



I think it time we talk this over
I think you've taking it to far
I never wanted to be different
I didn't have to be nobody's star
Try to take control of it 'cause what you see is what you get.
Try to take control of it on me.

You say there's talk of revolution
(So what's new now?)
You say there's fighting in the air.
You think that I got disillusion
But do you really think that's fair.

Try to take control of it 'cause
What you see is what you get.
Try to take control of it on me.
Well all right now

Don't want to be nobody's hero
Don't want to be nobody's star
Don't want to be nobody's hero
Get up get up be what you are.

Your think it time you took me over
Do what you can do yourself
But don't let hero get your kicks for you
It's up to you and no one else.

Try to take control of it 'cause
What you see is what you get.
Try to take control of it and you'll see

I don't want to be nobody's hero
Don't want to be nobody's star
Don't want to be nobody's hero
Get up get up be what you are.

You think your nobody
And I have all the fun
But no one's a nobody
Everyone is someone

Don't want to be nobody's hero
I don't want to be nobody's star
I don't want to be nobody's hero
Get up get up be what you are.

Be what you are [x18]

"On The Attack"

"On The Attack"


the scene often changes, the kids come and go but history's for sure and this much i know. the root of tough music for america's youth was old school hardcore, you know it's the truth! this is my world, wolfpack, last rights. the kids will have their say another wasted night. there's many forms of music, and they all play a part, as long as the meaning comes straight from the heart. so open you eyes and please use your brain, 'cause punk, oi!, and hardcore, are one in the same because today we carry on, and the numbers have grown, a social movement that we call our own. so let's stick together with our friends at our backs, because the climate is changing, we're on the attack!

"Out Of Our Heads"

"Out Of Our Heads"



Are we gonna make it
Or is this how we'll go
Are we gonna take it sitting down
Hell no!
We're gonna cause a riot
We're gonna rip it up
We're gonna storm the gates
This place is going up!

Here we go, here we go
We're out of our heads and its starting to show
Here we go, here we go
The roof is on fire and it's ready to blow

Are we gonna take it
Are we gonna let them know
Are we gonna let them bring us down
Hell no!
We're gonna crash the party
Every night and every day
We've got 'em on the run
Will you follow?
Lead the way!

Here we go, here we go
We're out of our heads and its starting to show
Here we go, here we go
The roof is on fire and it's ready to blow

Here we go, here we go
We're out of our minds
And we're letting you know
Here we go, here we go
The roof is on fire and it's ready to blow
The roof is on fire and it's ready to blow

The roof is on fire and it's ready to blow

Here we go, here we go
We're out of our heads and its starting to show
Here we go, here we go
The roof is on fire and it's ready to blow

"Out On The Town"

"Out On The Town"



Me and the gang, we were out on the town
In my uninsured '88
It's time to get Maggie down at the bar
She said “don't you punks dare be late”

It was Saturday night on Hilltop Street
And everybody's dressed to spill
They were having a time for Mary O's boy Barry
Who had recently been killed

In the back of the bar they were sure having fun
Everybody make some room
She got out of the chair, threw her fist in the air
And the whole place started to move

So get up, get up, get with the music
Everybody out of your seat
So get up, get up and get with the music
Maggie's got a brand new beat

Tiny was Santa, Red's at the door
And The Old Brigade's starting to play
Maggie's playing tricks on a few of the boys
She'll take your worries and your wallet away

Johnny Mac took a slap from a few older brothers
When he wouldn't dance with Big Marie
But it wouldn't be long 'til they were singing along
With the girl they all came to see

So get up, get up, get with the music
Everybody out of your seat
So get up, get up and get with the music
Maggie's got a brand new beat

So get up, get up, get with the music
Everybody out of your seat
So get up, get up and get with the music
Maggie's got a brand new beat

She was handsome, she was mean
She smoked two packs a day since she was 17
A leather face and many a vice
She had a sharper tongue than a butcher's knife

She's out past curfew with the boys in the band
Throwing one last farewell toast
Then she's up with Father Dorin
At mass in the morning
Handing out the Holy Ghost

So get up, get up, get with the music
Everybody out of your seat
So get up, get up and get with the music
Maggie's got a brand new beat

So get up, get up, get with the music
Everybody out of your seat
So get up, get up and get with the music
Maggie's got a brand new beat
Maggie's got a brand new beat

"Peg O' My Heart"
(feat. Bruce Springsteen)



Peg of my heart I love you
Don't let us part I love you
I always knew it would be you
Peg of my heart
Since I heard your lilting laughter
It's your Irish heart I'm after
Peg of my heart

Peg of my heart, oh your glances
Make my heart sing how's chances
Come be my own
Come make your home in my heart

Peg of my heart I love you
We'll never never part I love you
I always knew it would be you
Peg of my heart
Since I heard your lilting laughter
It's your Irish heart I'm after
It's your Irish heart I'm after
Peg of my heart

Peg of my heart I love you
Don't let us part I love you
I always knew it would be you
Peg of my heart
Since I heard your lilting laughter
It's your Irish heart I'm after
It's your Irish heart I'm after
Peg of my heart

"Perfect Stranger"

"Perfect Stranger"




Schizophrenic nightmares sending shivers down my spine
I may be a little twisted, but I swear that my life is fine

[Chorus:]
I'm living with a perfect stranger, is there anybody home?
I'm in the presence of a perfect stranger, but I find myself alone

Well I'm still working to make life better, though I've fallen from God's grace
I'm standing still in a shattered mirror, staring at somebody else's face

[Chorus x2]

Just when things are back on track, I sabotage myself
These are all certain telltale signs of my decaying mental health

Nobody's home!
Nobody's home!
Nobody's home!
But I find myself alone!

"Pipebomb On Lansdowne"

"Pipebomb On Lansdowne"


It's Friday night and the street's filled with freaks, come watch as the useless flock to the beat
Of the techno noise that enhances their high, a bombs gonna blow and I think you know why!

[Chorus:]
Everybody's running out, bodies hit the ground, you'd better take cover
It's a pipebomb on lansdowne street

There's no room for dancing on your precious floors, cause you've got to save space for the jocks and whores
You say that our shows are for violent thugs, but we're not the ones on designer drugs

[Chorus]

It's not a bunch of little kids we're out to harm and maim, so maim
So make sure the night you hurl the pipe there's no baseball game
Look for flyers, check the phoenix, are there any decent shows, if Keith Bennett isn't working
Then the bomb is good to go.

(The problem with the world today is that nobody can take a joke anymore)
