Hanging on the old barbed wire

Written during the first world war as a marching song by the troops.
Chumbawamba do a stunning version, and it's a fine statement.
Please bear in mind that during this live performance, at least one of us was drunk to the point of collapse, so any imperfections are down to Carlsberg plc, not to our inabilities to hit the high notes...
