Billy Bragg - Great Leap Forward

[tonee127]

"an ethical haircut" I guess in the case of bankers/politicians that would mean lopping their fkn heads off.

[HippieJimi]

It's a great song that Billy's evolved lyrically and I love it.

[fuqjootube]

[koookeee]

Amazing. After all these years, I still seem to get something in my eye every time I hear this great song...

[carlfinkle]

Your not the only one

[9jimmy24]

[blink1821985]

taking the money from missiles and spending them on hospitals? sounds fine to me!

[hssp900]

@blink1821985yeah or mansions in dorset .

[moonwatcher1967]

@hssp900 . . . overlooking the sea, 6 bedrooms, 6acres, £1.5mill. ... etc. I live in barking and i'm not suprised he moved out if he can afford it. Full of immigrants, poundshops, intensively farmed chicken shops and losing scratchcards. You cannot blame him for that

[portofbar]

we don't fight the axis of evil by putting smart bombs in the hands of dumb people. a boy from barking and the boy done good

[markhillary]

Yeah, this is an old classic not from the new album... and it's funny these days because you never know what words he is going to use for this one... makes it impossible to sing along when you know the words from the original!

[TheGreatEckscape]

A great song, though was actually from his Worker's Playtime album. This is a really good performance, I love the way how he's always changing little words here and there.

[90daywarranty]

He never sings it the same way haha

[maxmagnum74]

This is what makes Billy a great artist

[RaynoGernsback]

Exactly, he's showing that, even if the details and individuals change, the world and the systems he's talking about haven't yet
