[greenjack1959l]

learned to ignore the Norman Invader, Bidin our time, in the English way, the way of the Angli, till OUR day comes, as it most surely will, OUT! OUT ! OUT! OUT! OUT!

[greenjack1959l]

but Fuck ,em all! are we not English? Been there done it? Come back and overcome?

[greenjack1959l]

In Old England very hard times

[iBeep2009]

Apt for the recession.....

[wembley05]

Fantastic! Maddie you rock! Beutiful voice!

[Bubo25]

Some things just never change...

[Xanera77]

This song is brilliant. The lyrics are more relevant today than they were when it was written. All the peoples of the world have hard times and England is no exception, as not everyone is wealthy. This song is obviously dedicated to the poor folk who had to struggle to put food on their table during the hard times of both war and peace. Yes, I've been drinking.

[getorphan]

they are in cube on the cover?

[dcconsi]

[PDSJohn]

Maddy is still touring Saw her in Burnley (where the f*s that?) a couple of years ago

She still can sing and the voice is as good as ever.

You Go Girl . . . .!

[ysplse]

[ismhack]

[latenightpilgrim]

@Vlkwolf

Yes but the harmony / 12 bar is v v cool

[Jacquiismyname]

the lyrics may be based in Q E one's time but they fit so well for today don't you think?

[gaspode18]

Horrible, HORRIBLE track from a Horrible, HORRIBLE album. Steeleye at their worst - every track to a jolly 3/4 beat that sounds like an elephant bouncing on a trampoline.

The only thing worth listening to on the whole thing is 'Cagwith Anthem'. Oh, and Peter Knight's violin solo on 'Dance with Me'. The rest is an over-produced, under-arranged mess aimed at the charts with no respect for the music whatsoever.

[MilesB1975]

@gaspode18 Except for this track , which is in 4/4 swing time.

[gaspode18]

@MilesB1975 Um...yeah, OK, the criticism breaks down there. It's still my least favourite Steeleye album.

[jazzymay89]

The words of this here song still ring true and they allways will.

[greenbluefish]

@scgrimsley - This song was originally sung by working class songsters in response to the way the establisment (the right my friend) was mistreating the country for their own ends at that time. Nothing changes except fascism is new and judging from the effect of national socialisim in germany on the people of that country they do not represent the people:- but any other tin pot demagog eloquent enough to seize power. Luckily you don't use english well enough to qualify for that place in hell.

[seaxwielder]

@greenbluefish The 'establishment' is now ranged across three 'main' parties and all espouse the suppression of the English and their culture.The Marxists/liberals have done more damage to the English folk than the 'right' ever did.

[wychwood7]

God bless Maddy C.B.E. Always a breathe from the Spirit!

[Janicedean]

Brilliant! I got this LP in 1976...just as good nw as it was then.

[harryf200]

[ismhack]

@vazmo14850 Coincidentally, vazmo, it's 65 and sunny in Minnesota today and I've just finished listening to Steeleye Span rock their way through "Hard Times"...and I'm still smiling. How are your tulips this year?
