What are the ballad of hillsborough lyrics?

The Ballad Of Hillsborough

The Liverpool supporters

Were given the smaller end;

Crammed behind the goal mouth,

The fans were tightly penned.

Penned, penned in their thousands,

Penned in under the sky

No one there had reckoned,

That ninety-six would die.

The barriers all buckled,

They couldn't take the strain.

The cheers of jubilation,

Turned into cries of pain.

And when at last they noticed,

The police unlocked a gate,

But the exit was too narrow,

And they'd opened it too late.

The nation watched in horror,

Stunned with disbelief

As the shadows from the goal mouth

Stained a football pitch with grief.

An inquiry has been opened

To find out who's to blame.

But for those who lost their dear ones,

Nothing will be the same.

For nothing brings the dead back,

Post mortems, flowers or prayers,

It's like reaching the top of the stairwell

And finding there's no stairs

That drop down into darkness,

Goes down and down and down

And grief's black water well there,

Inviting you to drown.

Never to see your loved ones,

Or hear them on the phone,

It's hard to believe when it happened,

That you'll never walk alone.

But down at the Kop at Anfield,

The goalmouth shows it's true,

The scarves around the crossbar,

Are knotted red and blue.

Despite divided loyalties,

Liverpool loves it's own,

And every tribute there proclaims,

You'll never walk alone.

Not by the banks of the Mersey

Nor down the terraced streets,

Beneath the great cathedrals,

A city's warm heart beats.

And now in the cold spring sunset,

The liver birds aflame,

The phoenix rose from the ashes,

A city can do the same.

Show me the words from the Ballad of the Leatherneck Corps?

The Ballad of the Leatherneck Corps by Herman Wouk
Oh, the wind blows cold in Iceland but the
wind's blown cold before,
And it's not so hard in your own backyard
to be set for peace or war.
But to fight for right and freedom, and to
keep our honor clean,
We are proud to claim the title of United
States Marine.

Oh, the wind blows cold in Iceland but the
wind's blown cold before,
And it's not so hard in your own backyard
to be set for peace or war.
But to strike a blow on a distant foe is a
job for The LEATHERNECK CORPS.

Where are you heading Leatherneck?
I'm off to Tripoli son! It's someplace in
Africa, don't know where,
But an ornery pirate gang is there,
And we're under orders to sweep it bare of
each pirate son-of-a-gun.
So off they went, it was eighteen five,
And they piled in there with a mighty
drive 'Til hardly a pirate was left alive.
And, Jefferson said: "Well done."

Oh the shore is strange in Iceland,
But the shore's been strange before.
And the folks at home don't have to roam,
To be set for peace or war.
But to challenge fear when it's far from
here, Is a job for the LEATHERNECK CORPS.

Where are you heading, Leatherneck?
I'm off to Sumatra, son.
The natives there are a savage lot,
Our ships have been sunk, and our sailors
shot. And, that place which they tell me is
burning hot. It will be hotter before we're done.
So, off they went, back in thirty-two,
And vengeance was had for each murdered
crew and over the isle Old Glory Flew.
And Jackson said: "Well done."
Oh the sea is rough off Iceland,
But the sea's been rough before.
There are no rough seas where you sit at
ease. All set for peace or war.
But to face a foe half the world away,
Is a job for The LEATHERNECK CORPS.

Where are you heading Leatherneck?
I'm off to China, son!
A bunch of Boxers are raising hob,
They're killing Christians this crazy mob,
So the U.S. Marines have got a job
And this one looks like fun.
So in nineteen hundred they sailed away,
And fought the Boxers in old Cathay.
Pagodas crashed and they won the day.
And McKinely wired: "Well done."

Oh the gale roars high in Iceland,
But the gale's roared high before.
And it's cozy here, by the hearthside cheer,
To be set for peace or war.
But to make a stand, in a far off land,
Is a job for the LEATHERNECK CORPS!
Where are you heading Leatherneck?
I'm off to Iceland son!
There's trouble brewing across the map,
And it may or may not be our scrap,
But we ain't gonna wait til it's in our lap!
We'll head it off on the run!
So off they march at a soldier's pace,
And, we pray that they have no fight to face
But they've gone there anyway just in case.
And America says: "Well done."
Oh the nights may be long in Iceland,
But the nights been long before.
And it's not so hard in your own backyard,
To be set for peace or war.
But to beat the worst, by arriving first,
Is a job for The LEATHERNECK CORPS!
