who shot the sheriff eric? it sure hell wasn’t you

i’ve got a safety pin stuck in my heart
you get a shiver down in the park
a safety pin stuck in your heart
north of the river on the east
been raining heavy in the dark
you got a safety pin stuck in your heart
raked with colour
lollipop ANL dayglo yellow
punk pink RAR stars be a good fellow
ive got a safety pin stuck in my heart
now what’s he say that’s a new play
glad to be gay
ive got a safety pin stuck in my heart 
steel drummers on flatbed wrecks
steel pulse x ray specs
then he steps up
crowd out front tumbling down
a white riot a riot of our own
a white riot throwing a brick
school’s where they teach you to be thick
a safety pin stuck in your heart
everybody’s driving with a full headlight
everybody’s jumping black and white
ive got a safely pin stuck in my heart
london’s calling 

its about to start
