thankyou for reminding me of what matters in this world, and for putting all my petty worries and vanity into a well needed perspective, I love this song so much, and your choice of images makes it all the more poignant. I wish the world could open its eyes and see what we are doing to ourselves. You have made me cry, but I thank you for those tears. Much love x
Hi, I don't know where you could get it. At the time they sold the cd's after the gig (in Edinburgh). I was lucky to be there. The cd was a limited edition.
First heard this in Birmngham at a live gig and it was very new and untried, but still touched me very deeply and still does, I wish the voice in this song could be heard more widely, the world saddens me as it is, and your pictures illustrate that so well, I just hope the world's political "powers" can open their eyes and see what they are doing, thankyou so much for posting.
JUST TEARS TEARS TEARS HOW CAN YOU MAKE THESE SONGSSO DEEP BEEN INTO LEVS FOR 21 YEARS THEY CAN STILL BRING OUT ALL MY EMOTIONS MAN THANX LOVE PEASE AND HUMANITY TO YOU ALL THANX
Yes, I can guess.. and u can guess by my username I'm a Levellers fan. And an English teacher from Hungary, and I often make my students listen and translate Levs songs. They love it.
good job..leveller fan since 92 and this is a good video...cheers for posting....good cd aswell got mine at the oxford gig a couple of years ago number 148 of 500...John Lilburne 1614-1657 the original leveller
I agree with this striking image. I mean, all of it is good, but you know, there are certain images that will never leave your mind, and well...it shouldn't. We should never forget.

It wasn't on any studio albums....I believe it was the B-side to 'Last Man Alive' From 'Truth & Lies'. Hope that helps.
