No Offence

You're a Townie.
I'm a Pure Culchie.
Your Parents listened to Punk.
My Parents listened to Country.

There's one thing that unites us.
The Belfast to Derry Bus.
I got off outside Castledawson.
No lift home, taxi forced in.

I'm an Irish Catholic.
I always bleed Green.
I'll never sing your Anthem.
No offence to your Queen.

I'm the world's worst Proof Reader.
Me and my Schoolmates liked Eddie Veeder.
Laughing about Politicians and sleaze.
Now Nelly Furtado sings hits in Portuguese.

Soaps are all they watch today.
No more Top of the Pops.
No more seeing the Number 1.
Alongside the Number 35 flop.

I'm from County Tyrone.
We're the best you've ever seen.
I wanna use the Euro.
No Offence to your Queen.

Women enjoy conflict.
Women love to see Men fight.
Some on the Left, some on the Right.
Listen to your Mother, you son of a Bitch.
You couldn't make a tackle even on a bone dry pitch.

I prefer U2 to Ocean Colour Scene.
I'm wearing my Tyrone shirt.
No offence to your Queen.
