Lyrics
i often wonder how these men must feel
The guilty jeer the innocent again, while those who framed him up hold the key The, while those who framed him up hold the key
The people versus kelly was the title, give the wicklow boy his freedom
sickened by injustice he jumped bail
Were on the heavy gang that made him run the line, my frame-up is almost completed, he came back expecting to get justice
He came back expecting to get justice, ore are we going to leave him in chains, even prison doctors could see
Others in the bridewell heard him screaming, puppets in well rehearsed collusion Moore, my frame-up is almost completed
for five years we ve deprived him of his freedom
Nicky kelly is my name, my frame-up is almost completed, of the farce we staged at his appeal
Special branch took him from the plane, special branch took him from the plane, as i walked past portlaoise prison
a forced confession he was made to sign
Till his co-accused were both released from jail, give him back his liberty, a forced confession he was made to sign
the people versus kelly was the title
His injuries were not self-inflicted, seven years ago his torture started, the people versus kelly was the title
I m innocent, deprived of human rights by his own people
seven years ago his torture started
While those who framed him up hold the key, his injuries were not self-inflicted
as i walked past portlaoise prison
others in the bridewell heard him screaming
Ore are we going to leave him in chains, my frame-up is almost completed, my people all look the other way
The guilty jeer the innocent again, my frame-up is almost completed
The people versus kelly was the title, while those who framed him up hold the key
puppets in well rehearsed collusion
Were on the heavy gang that made him run the line, those who tipped the scales did not agree, as i walked past portlaoise prison
special branch took him from the plane
