Punk's Not Dead - Darren Hanlon

She answered our ad wanted

We had a vacancy

We didn’t know what was in store

But we were soon to see

She plays records of The Foreskins

At any given hour

She turns on the hot water tap

While I’m in the shower

And at night the house is quiet

You might wonder why

But punk’s not dead

She’s just gone to bed

Punk’s not dead

She’s just gone to bed

Couldn’t give a damn about

The friends of mine she’ll scare

Some people just can’t see past studs

And bleached blond spiky hair

I say 'A' for Abba

She says 'A' for Anarchy

In the morning she says «Never mind the bollocks

Here’s your cup of tea»

And at night the house is quiet

You might wonder why

But punk’s not dead

She’s just gone to bed

Punk’s not dead

She’s just gone to bed

I pass her in the kitchen

She’s got a longneck in her hand

She’s playing me a Dictaphone

Recording of her band

Her drummer has been playing

For nearly seven hours

But he hits them with such passion

It makes other drummers cower

When the night has come

All safety pins must come undone

If the house is quiet

Well that’s because punk’s retired for the night

If the house is quiet

Well punk’s retired for the night

Yeah she’s retired for the night

If the house is quiet

Well that’s because tonight

There’s one little punk rock girl

Who’s dead to the world
