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 don't know
But I won't be told the streets of heaven are paved with gold

I'm gonna stop looking over my shoulder to check what's right
I'm gonna stop thinking it over. And start tonight
Do it fast or do it slow
Do it once then let it go

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
But I won't be told

You're gonna stop looking over my shoulder to see what I'm at
Okay, You're a little bit older. Okay, all right, so what
You did it thus. You did it so
The difference is you think you know

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Still I won't be told

I don't know but I won't be told
I'm not putting myself on hold
I'm not buying and I won't be sold
I won't find out till I'm out of control

I'm gonna stop being cautious and sober. Get out and get on
I'm gonna start taking me over. And off on the run
You did it once. I don't care how
'cause that was then and this is now

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
But I won't be told
I don't know
And I hope I live before I get old
I don't know
I don't know
And you can't tell me
