No Celebrations

When the party starts
When the ships have come in
Will you think of the blood and the tears
And the broken hearts of the people weeping in this land
For there's loose and grins
There'll be no celebrating
There'll be no party pies
I know that grieving, this spite in your lungs
There'll be no birthday songs
There'll be no party games
And needed no wrong you know you're to blame
Many blown out the candles and make a wish
When you think of the people then
When you cut up the cake and set it up on a dish
Just like you did with the drinks
There will be no celebrating
There'll be no party pies
I know you're breathing this fast with your lungs
There'll be no birthday songs
There'll be no party again
At midday oh no
When you know you're to blame
When you raise your glasses and make a toast
When the ships slowly go where they sail
Where you think of the mothers thirsty boast of there children who died in your jail
There'll be no celebrating
There'll be no party pies
And no decorating this house with their lives
There'll be no birthday songs
There'll be no party games
Admit that you're wrong and you're to blame
So have a good time when the party's commenced
Drink and eat up your fill
Cause in front you'll be having an out expense
But when will you pay the dues
There'll be no celebrating
There'll be no party pies
And no decorating this house where they lies
There'll be no birthday songs
There'll be no party games
Admit that you're wrong and you're to blame
