about

From the album 'NEVER BE DEFEATED' 2016.

lyrics

Summer fields and riot shields
One eight six eight four
Horseback truncheon-wielding madman
knocked me to the floor
And two more taught me all I need
To know about the law
Summer fields and riot shields
One eight six eight four

TV crews make up the news
And edit to proclaim
Striking miners violent thugs
Declared a national shame
Bend a new agenda cos the truth
Is just a game
TV crews make up the news
And we're a national shame

Coppers sneering waving
Ten pound notes up in the air
Taunting lads still haunted by the
Vision of despair
The kids they left at breakfast tables
Starving hungry stare
Coppers sneering waving ten pound
Notes up in the air

Summer fields and riot shields
One eight six eight four
Eighteen stitches in my skull
A message from the law
That they will stop at nothing now
And this is all-out war
Summer fields and riot shields
One eight six eight four
