The Mechanisms
Our Boy Jack
[Verse 1: JONNY D'VILLE]
Oh when the Red Rose, it comes a-marching
Well we will fight, we will fight, fight for our boy Jack
When the Red Rose, it comes a-marching
Spit in the face of history
[Verse 2]
And when the giants, they come a-rolling
Then we will fight, we will fight, fight for our boy Jack
When the giants, they come a-rolling
If he can slay them, so can we
[Verse 3]
And when the cannons rain down from orbit
Then, we will stand, we will stand, stand for our boy Jack
When the cannons rain down from orbit
Then we will stand with dignity
[Verse 4]
And when the Rose comes over the water
Then we will sink them, we’ll sink them for our boy Jack
When the Rose comes over the water
Then we will sink them in their sea
[Verse 5]
And when the whiskey, it starts a-flowing
Then we will drink, we will drink, drink to our boy Jack
When the whiskey, it starts a-flowing
Then let us pour it fast and free
[Verse 6]
And when they hunt us, they shall not find us
For we’ll be quick, we’ll be quick, quick like our boy Jack
When they hunt us, they shall not find us
And we shall live in infamy
[Verse 7]
And when my body is lost and broken
Then I shall rest, I shall rest down with our boy Jack
When my body is lost and broken
Well, then boys, you fight for me
[Verse 8]
And when the Red Rose, it comes a-marching
Then we will fight, we will fight, fight for our boy Jack
Oh when the Red Rose, it comes a-marching
Spit in the face of history
