Whoever or whatever, as the old saying goes less said the better, keep it zipped, silence is golden, Don't speak out of turn .. The way the world is now taking a step back isn't a bad idea, people are losing it so easily, minds all over the place .. is there a hole somewhere 🙊 🙉 🙈
As I write this, the Irish parliament is about to try abolishing the freedom of speech in Ireland. Sinn Fein turned out to be totalitarians when they got the chance.
They were probabaly instructed to be quiet....they were recording this for a live album. I've been involved in one of those....they are a lot more controlled and manipulated than you might think.
This particular song is. Specifically, it references The policy of Internment without trial ('They'll take you off to you know where {HMP Long Kesh} for you dont know how long')
Brilliant song, i need this right now
This is literally the anthem for the past two years
They are talking about internment and political censorship in Ireland during the 1970's
Right
But there's so many other situations it could apply to these days.
Hoy! Whatever you say, say nothing, when you talk about you know what!
You didn't learn anything from this song 🤦
@@annedonovan9005 Not only these days. 80 years ago too.
I know exactly what he's talking about......I LOVE Tommy Makem.
Whatever you say, say nothing.
No you don't
@@balihai4326yes he does 🤫
heard the Sands family sing this. love it.
we need some musicians like Makem and Clancy, most of the singers nowadays are just crap
At least we have The High Kings
love you guys seen u in 1985 wen i was 13 love ur music since then
You know who loves this song?, you know the one who we can't speak of - but don't mention this or you'll get you know what!
Love it. I think the song is from a poem about the IRA's secrecy requirements.
Who told you that?
This is smart. A gem.
Theme song of the NSA "Guarded" USA
The NSA is listening :)
brillant
This song was written by Colum Sands, although he's not mentioned in this post.
Where did you get this video, can it be bought on VHS or something? Thanks
always a smile off tommy

This song applies to today! I've had some of my posts, concerning the so-called "C**id" "v***ine" & the 2020 "E****ion" "disappear."
"Three men can keep a secret if two of them are dead"
Does makem play Clawhammer style?
Reminds me of the Barrand/Roberts song, A Present from the Gentlemen.
Is this crowd DEAD? I can't sit still when I'm listening to this song!
It was Ireland in 1983. What would you expect.
Open support for the IRA in the 80s was a no no.
They actually got fined for preforming this song.
No they are not dead, nor do they want to be.
This should be the official anthem of the EU!
loose lips sink ships...dead men tell no tales....my science teacher always told us this to keep us quiet haha
i agree with two of them
It's the you know whos.
I think colm sands wrote this song but I'm open to correction
Written by Colm Sands
look at Muriel O'Connor one it sounds hot!
Also, during the last verse, you don't hear the mandolin, like on the album.
it's the illuminati
Which album? I can't find this song accept for this live recording.
Live at the National Concert Hall, same title as the special.
@brittanynoel02 Exactly what I was thinking, actually XD/
Perfect anthem for how mainstream and social media and the government treats anything related to COVID.
And now, the weather.
are these men irish?
As Irish as the come , Liam was from County Tipperary, Ireland Tommy was proudly from County Armagh, Northern Ireland. their music lives on !
Don’t know. 😉
Loose talk costs lives.

That has got to be the deadest audience I have ever seen in my life. Sitting there like cardboard cutouts they was.
it's the Illuminati
They were probabaly instructed to be quiet....they were recording this for a live album. I've been involved in one of those....they are a lot more controlled and manipulated than you might think.
it's the Illuminati😨
This is good *without* being played at chipmunk speed.
There has to be a Russian version of this.
Are you kidding this is basically the American national anthem.
@robertjones2811 you can publicly and loudly complain in America, the same cannot be said of contemporary Russia or British controlled Ireland
This song aged well. We're all IRA now.
All I can say is the founding fathers knew what they were doing when they ratified the second amendment.
@brittanynoel02
Snort....your too funny.
cool song..worst crowd I have ever seen
Probably IRA. that's what their talking about
it's the Illuminati
Emilee Madiso
Probably moon shining
They are singing of VOLDEMORD
not their best performance of this song but I guess it works.;)
Reminds me of the Harry Potter series everytime i hear this song... #uber-geek
This shoulda been the theme song of Harry Potter....
Im not a nerd, Im a geek... theres a difference.
it's the Illuminati
The motto for talking to the PC Police
So True !
this is literally the plot to harry potter
its the Illuminati
Well ya know voldemort is Margaret Thatcher in disguise
@@genmonroefreeeire102 That's about the stupidest thing I've seen today.
it's Illuminati
Emilee, "Whatever you say, say nothin' " is a colloquial idiom. So it's NOT and never was about the ira.
This particular song is. Specifically, it references The policy of Internment without trial ('They'll take you off to you know where {HMP Long Kesh} for you dont know how long')
Of course it isn't...
John McVey lol if you talk about you know what it's not the police you've to worry about as much as you know who ..,,
Colin Ross it is about the ra, that's where the saying comes from whatever u tell the police, tell them nothing lol
They my as well be singing about the coming enslavement and civil war we are about to suffer through.
