State of Emergency

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 »

You're looking for something
But what could that be?
You look for a hero
Yeah, don't look at me
You're lookin' around yourself, there's nothing you can find
You look for solutions
But hate has made you blind
You keep looking 'round you
For something that's in your mind
And you've spent the last ten years of your life
In this emergency

So please, just don't sit there
Let's try to break out
From all the hatred
Suspicion and doubt
Try to change your life that is no life at all
Try to break down the imaginary wall
And if you couldn't be bothered
Well then, my friend, you'll fall
And spend all the rest of your life
In this emergency

Don't look at me
It's an emergency!

One-two-three-four!
