This man is looking for someone to hold his hand.

Never heard about Oscar Wilde,

Never talked about Brendan Behan,

Donʼt care about George Bernard Shaw
                   D

Edna OʼBrien and Lawrence Stern.

Shut it - you donʼt understand it,
Am                      E
Shut it - thatʼs not the way I planned it,
Am                 E                      A
Shut it - shut your mouth til you know the truth
