Here's a song for Pierce and Nessan
Known as the Brixton Busters far and wide
Like a bolt right out of Heaven
They escaped from Brixton prison
The Provos they could not keep inside
It happened on a Sunday
It became an on-the-run day
Both lads had been praying on their knees
Sure the warders thought it shocking
When the gun came from the stocking
And the lads said "hand over the keys!"
Now they're movin', movin', movin'
Get those police dogs movin
Get those doggies searching far and wide
It wasn't Semtex putty
But a pistol in the gutty
That let the lads go out for the ride
Every branchman in the nation
Went crazy with frustration
They were ordered to quickly find the trail
When they lost them at the station
It cured their constipation
No wonder they are still looking pale
Movin', movin', movin'
Get those police dogs movin
Get those doggies searching far and wide
It wasn't Semtex putty
But a pistol in the gutty
That let the lads go out for the ride
Now England learn your lesson
From lads like Pierce and Nessan
On the Volunteers you hold in cells today
Though you beat them and mistreat them
You never will defeat them
They'll be back to fight another day
Now they're movin', movin', movin'
Get those police dogs movin
Get those doggies searching far and wide
The 'govner's calculatin'
The pension that is waitin'
He can't get those lads back inside
Shut the gate, shut the door, don't let out anymore
Make sure there's nowhere to hide
Searching high, searching low, where the hell did they go?
Provos they could not keep inside
Shut the gate, shut the door, don't let out anymore
Make sure there's nowhere to hide
Searching high, searching low, where the hell did they go?
The Provos they could not keep inside
(Movin', movin', movin')
(Movin', movin', movin')
(Movin', movin', movin')
The Provos they could not keep inside (movin', movin', movin')
The Provos they could not keep inside (movin', movin', movin')
The Provos they could not keep inside (movin', movin', movin')
The Provos they could not keep inside (movin', movin', movin')
The Provos they could not keep inside
