Droppin' Like Flies Songtext
von The Real McKenzies

I recall back in ′79, I was just a wee kid livin' in a dive
Didn′t drink, didn't dance, didn't ever smoke hash
But it changed when I heard the clash
And you know I needed more so I got
Up and out to the record store
And I bought all the records that I could afford
An′ I played em all on my stereo


(Chorus)
This is a song saluting punkrockers rise
And what they did to change the times
But with such a lifestyle they′ll be burnin'
On both sides
Now they′re droppin' like flies
All those punk rock guys

I became a fan and Iremain that way
And to this day, I′m still blown away
Those bands just cut me to the bone
Like the Damned, the Pistols & the Ramones
Now we just wanna say
They made us who we are today
So now every time we play
We remember those of yesterday

(Chorus)

Well I became a band and I remain that way
And to this day, I'm still blown away
And then there′s me, I'm not dead yet
But you never never know, I could be next


(Chorus)
