Rumble On Mercy Square South (Alternate Version)

All is peace and quiet, in our little town

The police are all tired, their feet don't touch the ground

People watching TV, people eating their tea

They can't see like me, there's trouble coming down

There's going to be a fight, there's going to be a fight

So keep yourselves out of, out of sight

Keep your doors locked up, locked up tight

Cause there's going to be a, be a fight, yeah

The gang from the gasworks sure are tough

And so are the gang from the west

Awfully speaking letters that's sure enough

I don't know which gang is the best

Here they come, see them run, see them fight each other

See their sticks, see their stones, see them run for cover

Some are small, some are tall, but it doesn't matter

Someone stands, someone falls, and there's someone stagging

Leader falls with his hands over his face

Someone else is standing there to take his place

And there are bodies lying all over the place

And they fight (and they fight), and they fight (and they fight)

How they fight (and they fight), and they fight (and they fight) yeah!

Fighting's over, who has won?

The police are here, they all begin to run

Ooh!

All is peace and quiet, in our little town

The police have retired, they've put the trouble down

People are all sleeping, people finished peeping

They can't see me creeping, there's no one left around

The stars are shining bright, the stars are shining bright

That's the end of, of the fight, that's the end of, of the fight

And that's the end of, of the fight, that's the end of, of the fight

Not going to Mersey Square, not going to Mersey Square

Not going to Mersey Square, (I'm not gonna go back, go back there)

I'm not going to go down to Mersey Square

I'm not going to go down to Mersey Square

I'm not going to go down to Mersey Square

I'm not going to go down to Mersey Square

I'm not going to go down to Mersey Square

I'm not going to go down to Mersey Square

I'm not going to go down to Mersey Square...
