Bubblegum

Mum I like Johnny down the street
But I don’t know if he likes me
Mum I like Johnny down the street
But I don’t know if he likes me
Went to the shop this morning
First time I tried bubblegum
Home for dinner, daddy made it back
Before the curfew come
They played John Lennon R.I.P
Top of the Pops this evening
Imagine it was number 1
Happy Christmas, War is Over
Mum I like Johnny down the street
But I don’t know if he likes me
Mum I like Johnny down the street
But I don’t know if he likes me
Daddy pinned up Bobby Sands for me
Right next to my Madness poster
In our house in the middle of our street
They blew up another bar last night
Heard the soldiers searching
Johnny says they might call off school
And Johnny said ‘I can’t talk to you'
Mum I like Johnny down the street
But I don’t know if he likes me
Mum I like Johnny down the street
But I don’t know if he likes me
Mum I like Johnny down the street
But I don’t know if he likes me
Mum I like Johnny down the street
But I don’t know if he likes me
I didn’t do my lessons right
I’ll have to rush it in the morning
Three riots up the street tonight
The hunger strikes have started
