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 »

So somebody's told you how to be a man
Just f*ck 'em and leave 'em
And score as many as you can
But always have someone who's close to your heart

And if you want to keep her, keep her in the dark
'Cause you love her
So you just can't tell her
Yet that's a lie and you know full well

You have to pay the price of admission
You have to pay the price of admission
You have to pay the price of admission
Sometime in your life
Somewhere along the line

And now she tells you she's fucked others too
She didn't spend those nights
Waiting in on you
But though she gave her all, she never gave her heart

And she wants to keep you so she cannot keep it dark
'Cause she loves you
So she has to open wide
She lets you in up close and blows away your pride

And you have to pay the price of admission
You have to pay the price of admission
You have to pay the price of admission
This time in your life

And lay it on the line
You have to pay the price of admission
You have to pay the price of admission
You have to pay the price of admission

So somebody showed you how to be a man...
