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 »

When I'm away I think of you
And how you're where I want to be
And there's on thing I gotta do
Get back to you to be free to be me

'Cause anytime I don't like it
I keep a doorway in my mind
When I want to be with you
I just walk through Gate 49

It gets me down and makes me sick
To be somewhere I hate to be
So I'll escape I'll take a trip
I'll fly so high to be free to be me

'Cause anytime I don't like it
I find that doorway in my mind
When I want to be with you
I just walk through Gate 49

Just for a time though miles away
I can put up with what must be
But pretty soon I'll have to take
My one way out to be free to be me

I may be tired of life itself
But here bores me I like it somewhere else

When I'm away I think of you
And how you're where I want to be
And there's one thing I gotta do
Get back to you to be free to be me
Where I'm mine all the time just behind Gate 49
