Sup up your beer and collect your fags,
There's a row going on down near Slough,
Get out your mat and pray to the West,
I'll get out mine and pray for myself.
Thought you were smart when you took them on,
But you didn't take a peep in their artillery room,
All that rugby puts hairs on your chest,
What chance have you got against a tie and a crest.
Hello-Hurrahwhat a nice dayfor the Eton Rifles,
Hello-HurrahI hope rain stops playwith the Eton Rifles.
Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse,
Tore down the house of commons in your brand new shoes,
Compose a revolutionary symphony,
Then went to bed with a charming young thing.
Hello-Hurrahcheers then mateits the Eton Rifles,
Hello-Hurrahan extremist scrapewith the Eton Rifles.
What a catalyst you turned out to be,
Loaded the guns then you run off home for your tea,
Left me standinglike a guilty (naughty) schoolboy.
We came out of it naturally the worst,
Beaten and bloody and I was sick down my shirt,
We were no match for their untamed wit,
Though some of the lads said they'll be back next week.
Hello-Hurrah there's a price to payto the Eton Rifles,
Hello-Hurrah I'd prefer the plagueto the Eton Rifles.
Hello-Hurrah there's a price to payto the Eton Rifles,
Hello-Hurrah I'd prefer the plagueto the Eton Rifles

The Jam sono una leggendaria band punk rock britannica formatasi nel 1976 a Woking, Surrey, grazie all'iniziativa del poliedrico Paul Weller. Influenzati da artisti come The Beatles, The Kinks e The Who, hanno saputo coniugare sonorità melodiche con un ritmo deciso e una carica punk che li ha resi uno dei gruppi più importanti della scena musicale britannica degli anni '70 e '80. La formazione originale, composta da Weller (chitarra, voce), Bruce Foxton (basso) e Rick Buckler (batteria), è rimasta costante durante i sei anni di attività del gruppo. I The Jam hanno pubblicato sette album in studio, tra cui il loro capolavoro "Sound Affects" (1980), che ha raggiunto la vetta delle classifiche britanniche. I brani più rappresentativi includono "Going Underground", "Town Called Malice", "The Eton Rifles" e "Start!" . Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo nel 1982, Paul Weller ha continuato una carriera di successo come musicista solista, mentre Foxton e Buckler hanno intrapreso diverse collaborazioni musicali.

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.
