Gerry Mulvenna's songs

Birds of Prey
Don't fall again
Feel The Evening Sun
Footsteps of James Connolly
Hello Crusade
Love In The Dark
Napoleon's Nose
Over the water
See you again
Seven Days Torture
Smokey Stoor of Scariff
Speak my mind
Sucking sweets on a bus
We Thought It Would Rain All Day
Weapon of Mass Seduction
Words from the author

Seven Days Torture

There's a balanced view on the Nine O'Clock News
It's the BBC - it must be true
Sinn Féin are on News At Ten
It's lip-reading time again.

British Justice is the best in the world
Thon Carmen Proetta is quite a girl
Soldier F can fair handle a gun
Who needs a jury when you've got The Sun.

So open up your eyes
You can see right through the lies
No matter what they say
It's seven days torture on the PTA.

When you stand up for democracy
You have to take some liberties
Silence politicians, censor the press
A license to kill for the SAS.

And the Branch open mail and they tap the phones
It's nice to know that we're not alone.
They protect us from the commies and micks
They should lock them all up like the Birmingham Six.

Chorus

The Europeans have got a bloody cheek
You can't get confessions in less than a week.
But she won't give in, she's gonna fight
Their European Court of Human Rights.

And that Cathal Daly is such a nice man
I'd like to kiss him on the hand.
John Hume talks nothing but sense
In English, Irish, Latin and French.

Chorus
