I bought this album at the time of its release, Lynott's second solo effort. My two greatest hero's in one song , not as good as King's Call but great especially Knopfler's guitar!!!
Mark Knopfler's beautiful rythm and smooth fluid guitar lines make this song; Phil Lynott's vocals match and blend with it superbly giving us this unbelievable sound.
He sounds like Knopfler doing Dylan. Not knocking him - I just don't understand the thought behind the singing style. If Knopfler sang it it would sound like a Dire Straits tune. It sounds like that anyway.
Two great musicians together in one of the most beautiful protestsongs I have ever known. Thanks for uplaoding, I was so pleasantly surprised to find it here on YT where it was all this time without me knowing.... So glad I found it, thanks for uploading.....
Phil said in an interview that he was really drunk when he recorded this song. He could not get the right mood and feeling in the song, so he went out drinking and went in the studio 5 O´clock in the morning..Its a really cool song.
Met him twice in 1982-83. He was a true rocker and a gentleman. RIP
One of THE coolest songs EVER written! Phil's lyrics say so much, his voice is perfect for it, and Mark Knopflers guitar playing is as eathereal and fluid as ever.
@pduvall100 I really, really miss WHFS. I live down in Alexandria & was working in my garage with the radio on the day WHFS switched over to a Spanish station. It was exactly 12 noon & i was like...WTF just happened? I had been listening to WHFS since I was a kid in the mid 70's. It was like a good friend died that day :(

Fantastic song, and amazing guitar work from Mark as always, shame they didn't do more work together than this and King's Call.

Been searching for this song for a long time- heard it only 1 time back
around '93-`94 on our local (progressive) radio station 99.1=WHFS and
was fortunate enough to record it onto cassette from the radio station.
What a talent and legend Phil Lynott was. He left us way too
early. At least we still have his music. Remmember Phil.
Thank you so much for posting this.
