A wonderful, poignant song. Billy Bragg also writes the most astonishingly affecting love songs also. I commend The Saturday Boy, St Swithin's Day and The Man In The Iron Mask. Amazing.
A true genius and rooted in the working class folk singers of the past. how many artists today would just play live and only a guitar? They'd be screaming for modulators a go go🤣🤣 it still means so much especially at the present. So much despair worldwide and as you say in this country out of touch politicians.Frank Turner is influenced by Billy
you had to live through margaret fucking thatcher to really appreciate this song although very little has really changed to this day apart from the fact there don't seem to be any billy bragg's nowadays.
