When you're young you stand your ground
And nothing seems to get you down at all
Then you grow to realize
That everything ain't black and white
It's brown
On and on your life drags on
And every day's the same
[Chorus:]
It's a long way to paradise from here
It's a long way to paradise from here
Every week you stand in line
You queue to put your name upon a form
And every week they have devised
Another way of making you feel small
On and on your life grinds on
And you're not living at all
[Chorus repeats]
You think you're tough
You think you're smart
But they know how
To break your heart
They'll chew you up
And spit you out
And make you start again
[Chorus repeats]
Stiff Little Fingers sono una rock band nordirlandese di Belfast, formatasi nel 1977. Inizialmente si chiamavano Highway Star e suonavano cover di rock, fino a quando non scoprirono il punk. Dopo sei anni e quattro album, la band si sciolse, per poi riunirsi cinque anni dopo, nel 1987. Nonostante importanti cambiamenti nella formazione, continuano ancora oggi a girare in tour e registrare musica. Jake Burns, cantante principale, è l'unico membro rimasto presente in tutte le incarnazioni della band. Nel marzo 2006, il bassista originale Ali McMordie tornò a suonare con la band dopo il ritiro di Bruce Foxton (ex The Jam), che aveva suonato per quindici anni.

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.
