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 »

Gimme a country that's red, white and blue
Gimme the British way, honest and true
Gimme the chance to be one of the few
Gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme

Gimme a nation where people are free
Free to do and free to be
Free to screw you before you screw me
Gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme,'cause

I'm alright
I'm alright
Union Jack
(Fly the flag, fly the flag)

Gimme a Britain that's got back the Great
A race of winners not cramped by the State
And only the helpless get left at the gate
Gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme, 'cause

I'm alright
I'm alright
Union Jack
(Fly the flag, fly the flag)

I'm alright (gimme-gimme)
I'm alright (gimme-gimme)
Union Jack (gimme-gimme)

I'm alright (gimme-gimme)
I'm alright (gimme-gimme)
Union Jack (gimme-gimme)

Fly the flag, fly the flag (gimme-gimme)

I'm alright (gimme-gimme)
I'm alright (gimme-gimme)
Union Jack (gimme-gimme)

Fly the flag, fly the flag (gimme-gimme)
