lyrics

(For The Exploited)

I met Gary McCormack in the basement of a tenement flat
And he told me 'a man's a man for a' that'
I met Big John Duncan in the windowless kitchen of a Tollcross flat
And he told me 'nothing lasts forever, and that's that'

The ghosts of punk rock, they walk these streets
The ghosts of punk rock, they walk these streets

I met Wattie Buchan in a crowded bar, and he told me all the things he'd learnt hadn't got him that far
He gets criticised a lot for his money and his flash car
But I don't think you should use the same brush or the same tar

I don't think you should use the same brush or the same tar

Cause without him, there would be no Dead Cities
Without him, there would be no Alternative
Without him, there would be no UK 82
And it was him that wrote Army Life, not you.

The ghosts of punk rock, they walk these streets.
