[stagros]

apparently she doesn't want a public corpse viewing, damn ! imagine the pools of spit and bile covering the cow!

this song and the Pete Wylie song The Day That Margaret Thatcher Dies are bothe gonna be played loud and proud when this day comes up soon ! !

[JPBStory]

"I can't find any words that portray my contempt." Bllody hell, imagine if he did!

=-)

[pretorious700]

Thatcher was a monster, but England is famous for elevating monsters.

[pykkervots]

It won't be long now....and I hope this song will be everywhere when the time comes..she will pay the karmic price when her turbulant spirit passes over

[TheSean441]

I was an irishman working in England during the Thatcher era, and that was uncomfortable.. she had a shocking attitude towards my race.

" if you have to say it's subversive, then it isn't subversive..." well said, elv - although i was always very clear about who this song was about. it's STILL wonderful, still makes me sad (and angry!) and he is still one of the smartest songwriters around...

i think it was russell howard on 'mock the week' who said they'de have to open a dancefloor on her grave to cater for the amount of people who'd want to act out the sentiments of this song!

[viney62]

I agree with the sentiments of the song..But more ingenius than Billy Bragg or Bob Dylan..Steady on Elvis.

[Kenentigern7]

I've just altered my greatest 10 songs list. Why didn't I hear this before. State funeral mabaws

[ysplse]

Right on Elvis. Glad someone put my feelings into words
