lyrics

They don't always mean what they say
Sticks and stones are softer that way
You never admit that it hurt you
You don't give an inch

They think that you've swallowed their lies
They think that you compromised
That your nerve would dessert you
They could never reverse you

You don't give an inch
No never give in
You don't give an inch
No never give in

They say that everyone has a price
They can even turn virtue to vice
Dig up dirt in the hope to expose you

They don't want to risk you on trial
Eventually you'll go out of style
They try their best to ignore you
When they come to implore you

You don't give an inch
Don't bend or you'll break
Wont take anything on faith
Though your shoulders ache
Put your back to the gate
And never ever ever ever ever ever give in
No Never give in
You don't give an inch
No never give in
You don't give an inch

Belter UK

With lyrics sharper than razor-wire and tunes that stick the boot in, Belter is punk for grown-ups who like a dance.

Their first single "TV Junkie" was released in 2012, gaining worldwide airplay and acclaim.

It was followed in January 2013 by a 3-track EP, ‘Invisible Cat’, which sees the band’s trademark sound expanded with a little help from their friends on strings, brass and slide guitar.
