1981 alt.title: "Bash me with that truncheon again"

lyrics

Down at the Gladstone on Saturday night
- Bash me with that truncheon again
Punk rock dancing and the music's alright
- Bash me with that truncheon again
Eleven o'clock and it's time to go
- Bash me with that truncheon again
Po-lice arrive to end the show
- Bash me with that truncheon again
Oh here we go, here we go, clear the car park

Bash me with that truncheon again
Bash me with that truncheon

In nineteen-eighty-one we knew
- Bash me with that truncheon again
The Springbok tour could not go through
- Bash me with that truncheon again
Helmets on, the wooden shields are large
- Bash me with that truncheon again
All lined up against the baton charge
- Bash me with that truncheon again
Oh here we go, here we go, we're with Biko

Bash me with that truncheon again
Bash me with that truncheon
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, bash me with that truncheon
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, A C A B
Here we go, here we go, clear the dance floor

about

The Johnnies Christchurch, New Zealand

Formed in January 1982, The Johnnies made their original EP that year and played a final gig in Feb-1984 as the live venue clampdown on punk then was frustrating. Reformed Jan-2019, we now play often - with live studio album '1981' out now. Oi oi!
