You know how things are, when you get to talking
About the state of the world, everyone's got an opinion
I was talking to some boys who were friends of a friend
And we stopped to pass the time as we had nothing else to do
Someone made a chance remark, and then an argument got started
We were talking about Russia, the things they say go on
And something he saw on the TV, a TV documentary
On the lack of basic freedom, human liberty
I said now, now listen, you ought to save your sympathy
We need it more than they, as far as I can see
We all know they're in chains, you only think that you are a free
And it's the Russian working man
who knows exactly where he stands
The album was released the same day as The Smiths' "The Queen is Dead". I remember buying them both from HMV in Oxford Street.
