ballad of bobby sands
----------------------
now,irishmen,remember well
our heroes who in battle fell
and those who died in a prison cell,
like bobby sands from belfast
an irish soldier to the last,
a crimminal he would be classed.
and so began the long,death fast,
of bobby sands from belfast.

so proud britannia,hide your face '
throughout the world you are disgraced,
how many more must take the place
of bobby sands from belfast ?

the valiant hughes from derry's hills,
defied till death the tyrant's will
o'hara and mccreesh you've killed
like bobby sands from belfast

and the world will never understand
why you denied their just demands
a lingering death was your heartless plan,
for those like sands from belfast

now britannia all the world must know,
how england treats a helpless foe,
your british justice it is laid low
like bobby sands from belfast

hmmm, that's the wrong lyric

the first part of the chorus is
"He was a poet and a soldier, and he died..."

more I didn't understand

That's this one ...

People's Own M.P, The

How many more must die now, how many must we lose
Before the island people their own destiny can choose?
From immortal Robert Emmet to Bobby Sands M.P
Who was given 30,000 votes while in captivity

No more he,ll hear the larks sweet notes upon the Ulster air
Or gaze upon the snowflake pure to calm his deep despair
Before he went on hungerstrike young Bobby did compose
The Rhythm of Time the Weeping Winds and the Sleeping Rose

He was a poet and a soldier, he died courageously
And we gave him 30,000 votes while in captivity.

Thomas Ashe gave everything in 1917
The lord mayor of Cork Mac Sweeney died his freedom to obtain
But never one of all our dead died more courageously
Than young Bobby Sands from Twinbrook, the people's own M.P

Forever we'll remember him that man who died in pain
That his country North and South might be united once again
To mourn him is to organise and built a movement strong
With ballot box and armalite, with music and with song

He was a poet and a soldier, he died courageously
And we gave him 30,000 votes while in captivity.
