One of the first Oi! bands, Cock Sparrer was playing loud, raw, Cockney working-class anthems as early as the first wave of British punk, although record company difficulties prevented them from issuing much material until the early '80s, when the Oi!movement was well underway. The group formed in London's East End in 1975, originally as a hard-edged pub rock combo in the vein of Dr. Feelgood. Four of the members -- vocalist Colin McFaull, guitarist Mick Beaufoy, bassist Steve Burgess, and drummer Steve Bruce -- had been schoolmates since age 11, and had been playing together in cover bands three years prior. They were joined by rhythm guitarist Garrie Lammin (Burgess' cousin), and soon began playing the Bridgehouse Pub in Canning Town on a regular basis.

Droogs Don't Run Lyrics
Cock Sparrer
Droogs don't run
Droogs don't run
If you're in any trouble, you know we'll be right there
Droogs don't run
We don't take no shit from no one, we'll fight 'em anywhere
Droogs don't run
Just remember who your friends are, if you wanna keep breathing air
Droogs don't run
Your droogie is your brother, someone you can trust
Droogs don't run
He comes before your mother, he comes before your lust
Droogs don't run
We gotta stick together, this town belongs to us
Droogs don't run
[Solo]
Droogs don't run
Droogs don't run
[Drums...]
If you're in any trouble, you know we'll be right there
Droogs don't run
We don't take no shit from no one, we'll fight 'em anywhere
Droogs don't run
Just remember who your friends are, if you wanna keep breathing air
Droogs don't run
[Guitar Fill]
