[0:0] Two, three, four
[0:14] The Shankill butchers ride tonight
[0:20] You'd better shut your windows tight
[0:26] They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives
[0:32] And taking all their whiskey by the pint
[0:37] Cause everybody knows if you don't mind your mother's words
[0:49] A wicked wind will blow your ribbons from your curls
[1:0] Everybody moan, everybody shake
[1:7] The Shankill butchers want to catch you awake
[1:26] They used to be just like me and you
[1:31] They used to be sweet little boys
[1:37] But something went horribly askew
[1:43] Now killing is their only source of joy
[1:48] Cause everybody knows if you don't mind your mother's words
[2:2] A wicked wind will blow your ribbons from your curls
[2:12] Everybody moan, everybody shake
[2:19] The Shankill butchers want to catch you awake
[3:1] The Shankill butchers on the rise
[3:7] They're waiting 'till the dead of night
[3:13] They're picking at their fingers with their knives
[3:19] And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs
[3:24] 'Cause everybody knows if you don't mind your mother's words
[3:39] A wicked wind will blow your ribbons from your curls
[3:48] Everybody moan, everybody shake
[3:55] The Shankill butchers want to catch you
[4:1] The Shankill butchers want to cut you
[4:7] The Shankill butchers want to catch you awake, awake, awake
