Paddy's Taksim square from their new album "Ramblin' with the Rats - Stolen Songs of Struggle" and definitely in solidarity with Gezi, Brazil and the struggles all over the world!

Paddy's Taksim Square

Paddy came from Dublin, I met him on the train
He said I have to take a drink as quickly as I can
I asked him for the reason and what he felt was wrong
"I heard the best of warcries yet not in my mothertongue"

Her yer Taksim, her yer Direniş
Paddy has no difficulties ever understanding this
No matter if it's Istanbul, Brazil or day or night
Everywhere is Taksim-Square and everywhere we fight

What is this war you're talkin' of? For Europe hails the peace
"Oh don't you see the force" says he "the army and police
They're goin' in for banks and wealth in armor and in gears
The emblems of the century are truly gas and tears"

Her yer Taksim, her yer Direniş
Paddy has no difficulties ever understanding this
No matter if it's Istanbul, Brazil or day or night
Everywhere is Taksim-Square and everywhere we fight

In Irleand we fight the fees, in Germany the banks
In Britain Unions organize, they strike in Spain and France
Greece is bleeding right to death and Turkey drowns in grief
That's the peace you're seein', mate, the peace of thug and thief

Her yer Taksim, her yer Direniş
Paddy has no difficulties ever understanding this
No matter if it's Istanbul, Brazil or day or night
Everywhere is Taksim-Square and everywhere we fight

In Dublin we had pints so black, in Frankfurt we had shots
Great supply in London, in Madrid and Paris lots
Athens welcomed us with Ooze, whole Istanbul is free
But when we leave the train to fight: We're sober as a tree!

Her yer Taksim, her yer Direniş
Paddy has no difficulties ever understanding this
No matter if it's Istanbul, Brazil or day or night
Everywhere is Taksim-Square and everywhere we fight

Her yer Taksim, her yer Direniş
Paddy has no difficulties ever understanding this
No matter if it's Istanbul, Brazil or day or night
Everywhere is Taksim-Square and everywhere we fight

Paddy's Taksim Square

Originally by Bad Manners, this is Jungle Lions' version. 

Inner London Violence

There's so very much to say right here. We kind of “stole” our material for the most from DUBLINERS, THE POGUES, CLANCY BROTHERS – from your rich and colourful history and culture. And even when we produce our own stuff, it's assembled with bits and parts of the tradition of Folk, Country, Rock, Blues and Punk that already exists. What we do is mostly songs, telling stories of tragedies, wishes, longings, achievements, fights and fates. And struggle? We struggle with the instruments, stages, lights, electricity, audiences, landlords, bartenders, pints, cigarettes, ashtrays, cabs, each other... the audiences struggles with us and among themselves... and the material speaks of struggles way across centuries, ringing on to this very day, and we try to connect them with present struggles. For still the oppressed are fighting their state of existence. You see them when you open the news... We'd like to be one of their voices.
