Jam - Eton Rifles lyrics

Album: The Jam At The BBC (Disc 2) (2002)

Sup up your beer & collect your fags
Theres a row going on down near Slough
Get out your mat & pray to the West
I will get out mine & pray for myself.

Thought you were smart when you took them on
But you didn´t take a peep in their aruntilery room
All that rugby puts hairs on your chest
What chance have you got against a tie & a crest ?

Come out & play, what a nice day, for the Eton Riot force, Eton Riot force
Come out & play, I hope rain stops play, with the Eton Riot force, Eton Riot force

Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse
Tore down the House of Commons in your brand new shoes
Composed a revolutionary symphony
Then went to bed with a charming young thing.

Come out & play, cheers then mate, its the Eton Riot force, Eton Riot force
Come out & play, an extremist scrape, with the Eton Riot force, Eton Riot force

What a catalyst you turned out to be
Loaded the guns then you run off home for your tea
Left me standing, like a guilty schoolboy.

What a catalyst you turned out to be
Loaded the guns then you run off home for your tea
Left me standing, like a naughty schoolboy.

We came out of it naturally the worst
Beaten & bloody & I was sick down my shirt
We were no match for their untamed wit
Though some of the lads said they would be back next week.

Come out & play, theres a price to pay, to the Eton Riot force, Eton Riot force
Come out & play, I would prefer the plague, to the Eton Riot force, Eton Riot force

Come out & play, theres a price to pay, to the Eton Riot force, Eton Riot force
COme out & play, I would prefer the plague, to the Eton Riot force, Eton Riot force
Eton Rifles, Eton riot force
Eton Rifles, Eton Riot force
