The Christians - Hooverville (Album Version)

[theredjediknight]

And this is what is too come in 2012 thanks to this hated coalition. But we will overcome

[rohanmarkjay]

Theme tune to the Occupy Wall Street crowd. While many blame Thatcher for the current economic crisis, I would say it goes much deeper than that and long back into history of England. No doubt Thatcher was a good Megabanker puppet and did their bidding. She was neverthless a mere puppet of the Wall Street/City of London Megabankers who control the not just the UK economy but the Global economy too. Don't blame the puppet blame the puppetmasters.

What happened to music......after the 90's???....

[TheSquire007]

[AnAutumnsDay]

The UK is now Hooverville, thanks to Thatcherism being the diseased idea that our useless and utterly corrupt politicians ( all colurs) have been following for the last twenty odd years

[Willburys]

[wingman662]

@Willburys I agreee there music is fantastic 

[aidy1360]

Thatchers Britain , and they promised us the world, and they promised us a roof above our heads and like fools we believed every last word they said. Fucking magic lyrics

Could apply to Cameron and his pals

[pointlessexercise]

So sad that this doesn't even register in the "how to play" websites. Humanity with a bassline. Still love it.

My brother had an LP signed by the whole band but he sold his entire record collection during his student days for a few hundred quid.

[DrewMurray1874]

@webbhead92 Give your brother a slap!

Timeless tune, things dont change much do they?

[johnmckinlay67]

Top tune Bluenile..thank you. There weren't too many bands who came through the 1980's with any credibility. The Christians are one of the exceptions, and they still sound good. Cheers mate.
