White Noise Lyrics
Rastus was a nigger. Thug mugger junkie.
Black golly gob. Big horny monkey.
Pimp pusher coon. Grinning piccaninnies.
Send him home soon. Back to the trees.
Black wogs. Black wogs. Your Face don't fit.
Black wogs. Black wogs. You Ain't no Brits.
Ahmed is a Paki. Curry coffee queer.
Ten to a bed. Flocking over here.
Tax-sponging canker. Smelly thieving kids.
Ponce greasy wanker. Worse than the yids.
Brown wogs. Brown wogs. Your Face don't fit.
Brown wogs. Brown wogs. You Ain't no Brits.
Stick together we'll be all white me and you
The only colours we need are red, right and blue.
Paddy is a moron. Spud thick Mick.
Breeds like a rabbit. Thinks with his prick.
Anything floors him if he can't fight or drink it.
Round them up in Ulster. Tow it out and sink it.
Green wogs. Green wogs. Our Face don't fit.
Green wogs. Green wogs. We Ain't no Brits.
If the victim ain't a soldier why should we care?
Irish bodies don't count. Life's cheaper over there.
Green wogs. Green wogs. Face don't fit.
Green wogs. Green wogs. We Ain't no Brits.
Green Wogs. Green wogs. Get 'em boys.
Green wogs. Green wogs. Turn up the white noise.
Black golly gob. Big horny monkey.
Pimp pusher coon. Grinning piccaninnies.
Send him home soon. Back to the trees.
Black wogs. Black wogs. You Ain't no Brits.
Ten to a bed. Flocking over here.
Tax-sponging canker. Smelly thieving kids.
Ponce greasy wanker. Worse than the yids.
Brown wogs. Brown wogs. You Ain't no Brits.
The only colours we need are red, right and blue.
Breeds like a rabbit. Thinks with his prick.
Anything floors him if he can't fight or drink it.
Round them up in Ulster. Tow it out and sink it.
Green wogs. Green wogs. We Ain't no Brits.
Irish bodies don't count. Life's cheaper over there.
Green wogs. Green wogs. We Ain't no Brits.
Green Wogs. Green wogs. Get 'em boys.
Green wogs. Green wogs. Turn up the white noise.

this song is the shit. and i can't believe no-one has even commented on it yet! Firstly its not a racist song and if you know anything about stiff little fingers you'll know its not. it basically is all about the general racism that emerged at the time of the National Front and launched the BNP and Thatcherism also. Note "If the victim ain't a soldier why should we care? Irish bodies don't count. Life's cheaper over there." But it also touches on general racism, rhetoric to reveal the general simplicity, idiocy and deep vile that these groups are founded on. thats why the language is plain and doesn't hold back to use the words all us stiff fans hate. the song is great. note how it touches on benefits with the "Spud thick Mick." who "Breeds like a rabbit." because he"Thinks with his prick." and "Ahmed is a Paki. Curry coffee queer. Ten to a bed. Flocking over here. Tax-sponging canker." it also mentions how the media amplifiedn a handful of muggers who happened to be born with black skin to be a part of black youth culture and all that crap and how they made out it was widespread... "Rastus was a nigger. Thug mugger junkie. Black golly gob. Big horny monkey. Pimp pusher coon." again the horny refers to contaminating white girls and spunging which is central and always has been an argument put forward by racist groups. load of ballix like. also a part i like is how the talk about immigration and deportation in this song and intentionally pronouce the word "right" as "white" in the lines.... "Stick together we'll be all white me and you The only colours we need are red, right and blue." although like all stiff songs they touch on their experience on northern ireland. the song is a nutshell is all about the NO BLACKS, NO DOGS, NO IRISH theme within britain at the time.
You hit it spot on @Dickfornose. Old post and you'll likely never see this, but thanks. Also, see how Jake gets a jab in at themselves going all first person (plural)? Green wogs, green wogs, OUR face don't fit... WE ain't no Brit. I'll excuse the double negative for the sake of rock 'n' roll. :-)

@Dickfornose I got into fingers in 82,when I was 13 through a mates brother,and alternative ulster and white noise were a couple of the tracks I first heard.at the time I didn’t understand about lyrics to songs and their meanings.it’s only as you get older and learn and understand what the fuck is going on in our fucked up crazy world that you begin to appreciate the meanings of songs.my dad (r.I.p you crazy old man)was a soldier in n.I,in 1958 he was also catholic,while me n me sister are prods and he began to explain shit to me about...

PEACE to all!!!! And just a little side note,nowt do wi fingers,music but just about me dad,he also guarded Rudolph Hess in spandau jail.love you dad,love you fingers, and love b.w.f.c
It was a brave song to make in 1978/9...but he thinks with his "pick", as in navvies (navigators) and the stereotypical image of Irishmen as manual labourers. A far better line than 'prick', which could be applied to any race, the 'pick' line builds on the Irish theme. The Pogues song "Navigator" is all about 'em. Great song, great album, great band...
