Stiff Little Fingers

Stiff Little Fingers are a punk rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. They formed in 1977, at the height of the Troubles. They started out as a schoolboy band called Highway Star (named after the Deep Purple song), doing rock covers, until they discovered punk. They split up after six years and four albums, although they reformed five years later, in 1987. Despite major personnel changes, they are still touring and recording as of 2011. Jake Burns, their lead singer, is the only member to have been with the band during all its incarnations, but in March 2006, original bass guitarist Ali McMordie rejoined them following the departure of The Jam bass player Bruce Foxton after fifteen years. more »

I can't believe you can look me in the eye while dying
Are you for real with your little intrigues then denying
All your words we've already heard
Thought I'm not surprised you can't cut your ties with me

Here we are (right behind you cause you're on our side)
Here we are (we bought the ticket, take us for a ride)
cause we all expect the truth
We must be the best of fools

You shake my hand and I count my fingers as you're leaving
A popular man with the people that you keep deceiving 
Smoke and mirrors and that confidence
Help with the illusion and the dream

Here we are (right behind you cause you're on our side)
Here we are (we bought the ticket, take us for a ride)
cause we all expect the truth
We must be the best of fools

And so it goes make the snake oil we're still buying
God only knows if the effort's worth it, you're still trying
Hard to tell if you can pull it off
but you're still in charge and we're still on the team

Here we are (right behind you cause you're on our side)
Here we are (we bought the ticket, take us for a ride)
cause we all expect the truth
We must be the best of fools

Here we are (right behind you cause you're on our side)
Here we are (we bought the ticket, take us for a ride)
cause we all expect the truth
We must be the best of fools
