altri figli punk del Nord Irlanda...se gli Undertones erano i Ramones di Derry, gli Stiff Little Fingers erano i Clash di Belfast
"se i Clash potevano cantare di com'era essere un ragazzo a Londra, perchè noi non potevamo cantare di com'era essere un ragazzo a Belfast?" (Jake Burns)
Jake Burns - guitar & vocals
Henry Cluney - guitar
Ali MacMordie - bass
Brian Falloon - drums
una delle mie canzoni degli Stiff preferite:
At the edge
Back when I was younger they were talking at me
Never listened to a word I said
Always yap yap yapping and complaining at me
Made me think I'd be better off dead
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to hear no lip
Take your share don't shout about it
That's your lot remember you're a kid
They would always teach me that to swear was a sin
Always speak your mind but not aloud
Think of something that you want to do with your life
Nothing that you like that's not allowed
I've no time to talk about it
All your stupid hopes and dreams
Get your feet back on the ground son
It's exams that count no football teams
And I'm running at the edge of their world
They're criticising something they just can't understand
Living on the edge of their town
And I won't be shot down
Taught me to defend myself and to be a man
How to kick someone and run away
Gave me everything that any young man could need
But don't understand why I won't stay
Here's your room and here's your records
Here's your home and here you'll stay
Here's somewhere I don't believe in
Wish someone would take it all away
And I'm running at the edge of their world
They're criticising something they just can't understand
Living on the edge of their town
And I won't be shot down
