(Jake Burns/Steve Grantley)
Scams and lies and alibis
Are all your stock in trade
Spin me round, I'm upside down
And I don't know the date
I feel outsmarted deceived and deluded
Completely inverted and unaware
Of all the changes and most of the dangers
Yet I've reached the stage where I just don't care
Chorus:
I tried to believe in you
I was only deceived in you
So now I'll be leaving you
I guess I'll be seeing you
Subterfuge divide and rule
Are all your favorite games
Plans and ploys are basic toys
To realise your aims
I tried to hold on just try to hang on
Try to pretend we could get somewhere
But you're so intent on some pointless diversion
We soon reached the point where I just don't care
(Chorus)
Well, if it ain't one thing
Then it's another
First you cut me cold
Then you're my long lost brother
But I know I can't go on much longer
With the way things are
'Cos I'm that much stronger!
(Chorus)
Stiff Little Fingers are a Northern Irish punk rock band from Belfast, formed in 1977. They started out as a schoolboy band called Highway Star (named after the Deep Purple song) doing rock covers, until they discovered punk. They split up after six years and four albums, although they reformed five years later, in 1987. Despite major personnel changes, they are still touring and recording as of 2010. Jake Burns, their lead singer, is the only member to have been with the band during all its incarnations, although in March 2006, original bass guitarist Ali McMordie rejoined them following the departure of The Jam bass player Bruce Foxton after fifteen years.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
