lyrics

A word or two I'll sing to you
On why I'm here alone
I came to play for you today
My band are safe at home
A solo thing I've come to sing
It may have been unwise
Cos I'm a heavy metal bigoted rock and roller
In disguise

I hate traditional harmonies
And men with beards and pipes
I hate the feel of an eightsome reel
And smoky cellars at night
Steeleye Span I cannot stand
But Christy Moore's alright
Cos he's a heavy metal bigoted rock and roller
In disguise
