My Old Mans A Provo Meaning

[Well my old man’s a provo with a beret and a gun
I haven’t seen him lately, he’s always on the run
He looks so really trendy, with his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other da’s in ties and shirts and suits
The Brits and police all ask me each time that I go out
They ask me if I’ve seen me da and if he’s been about
I say mind your own business, just leave me alone
You sure are only jealous you’ve no fathers of your own

Well, my old man’s a provo with a beret and a gun
I haven’t seen him lately, he’s always on the run
He looks so really trendy, in his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other da’s in ties and shirts and suits

On our TV last Friday night a cop came on to say
“Give us information about the IRA!
He showed us a provo unit on security TV
II know one was me daddy, but he stopped and waved at me!

Well, my old man’s a provo with a beret and a gun
I haven’t seen him lately, he’s always on the run
He looks so really trendy, in his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other da’s in ties and shirts and suits

My da has got me worried, I think he’s gone soft
There’s half a ton of fertilizer, stowed up in our loft
“Are you gonna be a farmer dad?” I asked him just for fun
He said don’t be an eejit, pass the coffee grinder son!
, Well, my old man’s a provo with a beret and a gun
I haven’t seen him lately, he’s always on the run
He looks so really trendy, in his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other da’s in ties and shirts and suits

At Christmas time it’s lonely when daddy’s not at home
The Brits are watching everywhere, they’ve even tapped our phone
Last Christmas Eve they staked out all our windows and our doors
Then climbing down our chimney came a Provo Santa Claus

Well, my old man’s a provo with a beret and a gun
I haven’t seen him lately, he’s always on the run
He looks so really trendy, in his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other da’s in ties and shirts and suits

My daddy’s up in Long Kesh now, to me it’s just not right
I’ll say a special prayer to him when I go to bed tonight
Today it was his birthday, I sent him in a cake
There was Semtex in the candles, he’ll be out before I wake!

Well, my old man’s a provo with a beret and a gun
I haven’t seen him lately, he’s always on the run
He looks so really trendy, in his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other da’s in ties and shirts and suits
Far cooler than those other da’s in ties and shirts and suits!]
