The Gallowgate Murders - Only the Bastards

I remember a time on a wet stone cobble street (Do or die!)
A gathering each night of the worst kinda bastards you ever will meet (Hopes so high!)
A hole in the wall hung a banner that we call home (We kissed the sky!)
Smacking a stack of the black with a man on his throne
We ain't gonna change
Gone away, those days are gone
But the memory still lives on
We'll never forget and there's no regrets
'Cause only the bastards sing this song!
A bark at the bar would let everyone know (Brothers in arms!)
The dogs were about for a shout and the kitty would flow (The streets were ours!)
And on a Saturday night, when everyone closed their doors (We'd stay for hours!)
The rockers, the punks and the drunks went to Studio 24
We ain't gonna change
Gone away, those days are gone
But the memory still lives on
We'll never forget and there's no regrets
'Cause only the bastards sing this song! (Hey!)
Wherever you may roam
Keep to heart your home
Make those friends that fight until the bitter end
Dead and gone and living on they're always in your soul!
The booze and the sway and the chance to get laid in an Opium haze (Danced all night!)
The cobble and stone and the blood crack and bone that would ruin your day (Fall or fight!)
The Banshee would scream and we'll listen 'till she called her last (We lived life right!)
And we'll keep going strong on those bleak streets that paved our past
We ain't gonna change
We ain't gonna change!
Gone away, those days are gone
But the memory still lives on
We'll never forget and there's no regrets
'Cause only the bastards sing this song!
Gone away, those days are gone
But the memory still lives on
We'll never forget and there's no regrets
'Cause only the bastards sing this song!
Wherever you may roam
Keep to heart your home
Make those friends that fight until the bitter end
Dead and gone and living on they're always in your soul!
