Here's egg on your face! The lyrics are actualy as follows...
Can you hear the mocking laughter from the ones that gain by it
They're not in line for the bullets, they're the ones who started it
It was The Upstarts 7th single, released in 1980 (the Thatcher period!) writen in responce to the troubles in Northern Ireland of the time, hence the references to terrorists.
do not blame the soldiers who leave their families for a war that some "upper" guys choose to make....the song is against war yes, and is still available today....respect for all those people out there....ain't their fault ,they are just like us....puppets with hearts,souls and families ...but in danger...just cause a few other decided so¨((
your right it is an anti war song basically its about the working class left without an option but to join the army because theres no jobs while its the polliticians that cause the wars leaving soldiers to mop up the shitstorm they created in their ivory towers
@itsawrongun1 why do you even listen to Angelic Upstarts , go back to posting on fuckin Westlife and Boyzone songs , more up your street , and at least they won`t upset you , you sensitive little soul , Upstarts do as it says on the tin , Skinhead punk
If Britain is to become Great again , war should be the first resort , why have the best army in the world ? , let`s go get an Empire again , a place in the sun , EDL
@123connormac. True dat! Welcome 2 the real world. In2 which religion did the church try 2 con u, b4 u saw through the rank hypocrisy? RC by any chance?
good to know mensi is still causing controversy and debate nearly 30 years after its release loved it then love it now im pretty sure mensi wrote this song about the british troops being killed in northern ireland which were being killed and reported in the press on almost a weekly basis and being so blas'e about it
These kind of songs should be noticed by the Govrnment. I am sick of hearing of another British soldier being killed in Afghanastan. The only reason we are there is because of the destruction of the the twin towers in N.Y. it has fuck all to do with us, and what of all those poor guys who have died, the U.K. Government doesn't give a fuck.
They should re-release this as a benefit single for Help for Heroes.i'm sure it would raise a few grand for the disabled squaddies who seem to be getting jack shit help from the politician twats!
Chriz64 - would it not be a good idea to go to english and grammar classes before calling someone else an idiot ? And what's "because of providing the world of speaking german" supposed to mean? I don't think you are getting my meaning. Yes, our lads are heroes for doing what they do but the reasons they were sent in the first place are totally wrong.
is it the soldiers wars? i think not... politicians should fight the wars they started.
@250269sus: ok... you think these peaople are heroes because of providing the world of speaking german. but the english speaking countries can conquer the world or what?
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF OUR ARMED FORCES IF IT WASENT FOR THEM YOU WOULD NOT HAVE FREE COUNTRY & ALL HOME COMFORTS YOU GOT, WARS PAST & PRESENT, & yes before all you anti war dickheads start i know this song is against war
@jamescraven1234 ey i understand u dude, my uncle is a marine. But i had to break out of that mindset u have there. u may say support the troops not the war but u cant support the rapist and not support the rape. sorry, but its one way or the other
@allister1964 Check your history, I vaguely remeber thousands and thousand of US dieing for your island. OR should we have just waited for the nightly bomb raids and daily V2's barages to do their damage?
@carpetfarmer you fuking idiot i remember the dirty shtbag yanks waiting till the russians and the british took the fight out of the germans and then coming in at the last minute while also charging massive interest on loans to the british which i think we just paid back a couple of years ago YOU FAT YANK
hope your son will be ok - be proud of him and wish him well from me. the vid was to point out the futility of it all but lets face it without people like your son we would all be speaking german now.
my son is joining this march and l dont want him to go to the afghan when r men shouldnt be there leave the fuckers to deal with it themselves or let the yanks deal with it,thats if they dont kill there own first
