Stiff Little Fingers

Stiff Little Fingers - When The Stars Fall From The Sky lyrics

rate me

Mid-October, sixty one, the french police were having fun

Cutting down Algerians, breaking heads all over town

Yet no-one saw, no-one knew and no-one dared to speak the truth

200 dead became just two, sweep them in the river

The witnesses were run to ground, put the bastards underground

Round up every black in town who dared to show their face

(Chorus:)

When the stars fall from the sky, when the world cannot make me cry

That's when the scales will fall from your eyes

And let you see the truth

Boipitong in ninety two subjected to a murder crew

Well trained policemen charging through

A crowd that's armed with slogans

Yet no-one saw and no help came, no-one wants to take the blame

These people that you try to tame will get round to you later

The protesters were run to ground, put the bastards underground

Buried every black in town who dared to raise his voice

(Chorus)

Every day around the world the voice of truth cannot be heard

Men and women disappear they have to live their lives in fear

Yet something makes them stand and shout

One day they will find you out

Round up every fact in town and shove them in your face

(Chorus)
