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 »

How do you propose to live your life in times like these

Growing up surrounded by the fear and hate disease

I believe that we all need protection from the world

And our friends enfold us like a barrier unfurled

I believe in the human shield

I believe in the human shield

People try to use you and abuse you every day

Doesn't seem to matter what you do or what you say

Then you need a friend that you can count on when you're down

Someone who will ward off all the hatred all around

(Chorus:)
The human shield protects your soul

And keeps you on the ground

The human shield protects your heart from being ground down

Dreams will all be shattered and your hopes dashed on the ground

As you grow to realise, this world's a real hard town
I believe that we all need protection every day
And our friends will form a shield that works in every way

I believe in the human shield
I believe in the human shield

(Chorus)
