The Rattle and the Roll

I scream for peace from the clutches of the street

Now who do you think that you're saving

From the gust of glow my heart will flow

My love is like the raven

But no bitter past could try to unmask

The truthful words you've been saying

The british class will divide your task

But my love is like a raven

So gather your boys and hold on

This ain't a place to be hung

Oh no no no no

Gather your boys and hold on

This ain't a place to be hung

Oh no no no no

It's the rattle and roll coming over - hey!

If the hands of strife and the darkest night

Could write down the words they're exchanging

Then my ringed neck may bring the death

But my love is still the raven

No bitter fling could force you to begin

The truthful lie you've been craving

There stands a ghost on a withdrawn coast

That flies just like a raven

So gather your boys and hold on

This ain't a place to be hung

Oh no no no no

Gather your boys and hold on

This ain't a place to be hung

Oh no no no no

It's the rattle and roll coming over

So gather your boys and hold on

This ain't a place to be hung

Oh no no no no

Gather your boys and hold on

This ain't a place to be hung

Oh no no no no

It's the rattle and roll coming over

For it's the rattle and roll
