My Old Man'S A Provo (Live)

Well my old man's a provo with
A beret and a gun i haven't seen him lately
He's always on the run
He looks so really trendy
With his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other da's in
Ties and shirts and suit's

The Brit's and police all ask me
Each time that I go out
They ask me if I've seen me
Da and if he's been about
I say mind your own business
Just leave me alone
You sure are only jealous you've
No fathers of your own

Well, my old man's a provo with
A beret and a gun i haven't seen him lately
He's always on the run
He looks so really trendy
In his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other da's in

On our TV last Friday night a
Cop came on to say
"Give us information about the IRA!
He showed us a provo unit on security TV
I I know one was me daddy
But he stopped and waved at me!

My da has got me worried
I think he's gone soft
There's half a ton of fertilizer
Stowed up in our loft
"Are you gonna be a farmer dad?"
I asked him just for fun
He said don't be an eejit
Pass the coffee grinder son!

At Christmas time it's lonely when
Daddy's not at home
The Brit's are watching everywhere
They've even tapped our phone
Last Christmas Eve they staked out all
Our windows and our doors
Then climbing down our chimney came
A Provo Santa Claus

My daddy's up in Long Kesh now
To me it's just not right
I'll say a special prayer to him
When I go to bed tonight
Today it was his birthday
I sent him in a cake
There was Semtex in the candles
He'll be out before I wake!
