"The Government have clearly sent the message to Shell, ‘you can do whatever you want’. Fortunately due to protest, the refinery remains unconnected to the gas field. If, as Shell planned, gas had been flowing by now, we would potentially all be dealing with a gas leak and explosion.”

www.shelltosea.com www.thepipethefilm.com SECTION 24
The wind is blowing up
The tide is coming in
The solitaire is in Broadhaven bay
Communities divided that once were all united
Their lives are never gonna be the same
No compromise solution from the multinational Corps.
No trust no friendship made
Shell money has destroyed our way of life
But we're never leaving here
We didn't ask for this
You wanna steal my land cause you've taken my sea
Are you talking to me x2
What part of section 24 relates to me
Demonstrations on the go, the Rossport five
Driving people to hungerstrike
Trespassing on the land and kicking local people
Its never gonna be in the news
The state is failing in their duty to support their fellow man
Making profit at our expense
They wont let me fly the Irish flag
I've been fishing here all my life
We didn't ask for this
You wanna steal my land cause you've taken my sea
Are you talking to me x2
What part of section 24 relates to me
Are you talking to me?
Are you here to protect me?
Cause you're sitting in a boat beside my army and my navy
The wind is blowing up, the tide is coming in
The solitaire is in Broadhaven Bay
Demonstrations on the go like on the west bank
No trust, no friendships made
Wanna make a lot of profit at our expense
Try bully or intimidate me
Shell money has destroyed our way of life
But we're never leaving here
Are you talking to me? x 4
