Obviously based on Leon Rosselson's wonderful 'Diggers' Song'! An act of affectionate sacrilege more or less sanctioned by him :)

THE LIGGERS' SONG


Without backstage passes but with no fear
A bunch of pissheads called the Liggers came to drink all the free beer
We defied the bouncers, we ignored the bars
We were the drunken hordes just nicking what weren't ours


'We come in pissed' we said 'to lig and go
We come to drink up all the lager and to make the bitter flow
We will not purchase this beer they serve
It's overpriced warm gnat's piss and they've got a nerve


This cheap keg brewery we do disdain
No man has any right to water down his ale for private gain
We are drunk men, though we are poor
You Liggers all, grab that free lager, grab it now..'


From the cheap keg brewery the orders came
They sent the bouncers with no braincells to wipe out the Liggers' claim
A short exchange of views and we were gone
The beer was safe - but double vision lingers on


You drunks take courage, you bands take care
This earth was made a common brewery for everyone to share
All beer in common, all riders one
We came in pissed - the orders came to end our fun...



(Sorry, Leon!)
