Still are the greatest band to come out of Ireland.....( And Ireland had a lot of greatness in this field!!) there is not another band anywhere that can touch SLF for hard hitting lyrics, nor live performances, and whilst the line up has changed over the years, the quality has never varied.Have seen this band 32 times, so I'm justified in what I say. ....HANX!!!
@MrConeman mabey its his hair, i dont know. i cant even remember writin that comment to be honest. i write a lot of stuff here when i'm drunk, And if you are wantin an argument about The Arctic monkeys dont bother. I aint a fan. dont even like em so i'd probably agree with you.
@cla5hsupporter Yes... even better. This song could have been in Belfast, London, Liverpool or Dublin. Terrific lyrics. Makes sense SLF and Burns would adopt this song. Their lyrics were as if not more powerful than all the world's punk bands from that time.
I knew SLF from the beginning, and they were the authentic musical response to the Troubles. Simple Minds and Paul McCartney, for example, could go and amuse themselves with paper tissues. BTW, Larry Mullin might have learned a thing or two from these drum drills....

@MOONST0MP No argument searching here, friend. I just wouldn't compare Jake Burns to the Arctic Monkeys if my life depended on it.
