DAVE. Another short song and maybe the punkiest on the CD. A problematic song for airplay as it sounds like we are swearing on the chorus. Also not good for American listeners as "fags " doesn't equate to cigarettes over there.
RICK. Pigs Will Fly is just over two minutes of full on power. John isn't swearing in the choruses, it just sounds like he is! Dave and I put our heads together to come up with the last chord. It'll be interesting to see what the internet guitar chord guys come up with. Answers on a postcard.
JOHN. I love the 'in your face, no nonsense' attitude to this song. I am definitely not swearing!
lyrics
YOU'VE SAID ENOUGH
SO SAY NO MORE
PICK OUR JAWS UP OFF THE FLOOR
GREY SUITS SPEAK
WITH FORKED TONGUE
TOO LATE YOUR SONG IS SUNG
DON'T TELL US WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR
WE'RE NOT ALL ABOUT THE FAGS AND BEER
DON'T TELL US WHAT WE WANNA HEAR
WE'RE NOT ALL ABOUT THE FAGS AND BEER
IT'S NOT ABOUT READING BETWEEN THE LINES
IF WORDS ARE COMING FROM THE HEART
IT'S NOT ABOUT
PLEASING CROWDS
WE KNOW YOU'RE PLAYING A PART
DON'T TELL US WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR
WE'RE NOT ALL ABOUT THE FAGS AND BEER
DON'T TELL US WHAT WE WANNA HEAR
WE'RE NOT ALL ABOUT THE FAGS AND BEER
PIGS WILL FLY
WHEN IT'S DO OR DIE
PIGS WILL FLY
PIGS WILL FLY
WHEN IT'S DO OR DIE
PIGS WILL FLY
