about

original by Stiff Little Fingers

lyrics

harp

don't pity this poor immigrant
my eyes were open when i caught the boat
all i wanted was your shelter and maybe just a little hope
but you turned your anger on me for the courage that you lack
i don't want your half-assed freedom, you can have the whole deal back
and now let me tell you something, let's get this straight from the start:
don't call me harp
don't call me harp

you said: bring me your poor and destitute
so i can kick them when they're down
there's always enough misery
and we'll be sure to share it 'round
but i turn my anger on you for the decency you lack
for the morals you fail to uphold, your cocaine, crack and smack
to a land that wears it's heart upfront, i'm screaming from the back:
don't call me harp

and the ghetto's almost full now
soon it's time for trash to move uptown
and the sight of all the beggars in the street
must really bring you down
soon they'll turn their anger on you for the promises you broke
for all the lies you told them as their dreams went up in smoke
and i feel i stand among them as i'm screaming from my heart:
don't call me harp

you built your land on principles so decent, brave and true
i find it hard to understand just what went wrong with you

don't call me harp
don't call me harp
don't call me harp
don't call me harp

about

Not The Ones Berlin, Germany

NOT THE ONES aus Ost-Berlin spielen simplen 77-Punk mit Ohrwurmmelodien.
Dem Titel der ersten LP entsprechend versuchen NOT THE ONES seit Jahren, mit ihrer Musik schlechte Laune zu verbreiten, doch Publikum & Kritiker sprechen stets von Gute-Laune-Musik.
Bei Wanda Records heißt es: „Charmant-britische Guitar Punk-Nummern in Richtung Alternative TV & Adverts, versetzt mit Boys/Lurkers-Melodien.“
