  • though i can take or leave his political slant he has got a body of work now that is astounding - i thought this song was about a personal relationship but it is about his belief in human kindness and the belief in his supporters / fans to, in their own way stand against injustice. i am quite an apathetic person when it comes to ideology ,but with age and compassion comes a sense of human decency and in a time

    of celebrity as pornography its good to see that humanity can still be found.

  • After Billy supported the POGUES in 2007 I had both him & Spider chat to my then alcoholic ex wife on the telephone, they took time out to talk about their life experiences regarding alcohol problems!

    My ex wife now has a baby girl nearly 1 year old & has turned her life around! The babys name FAITH! How strange! But thanks Billy, you talk the talk & walk the walk!

  • What a lovely man.

  • thankyou bb

  • @aje2103 Human kindness, goes hand and hand with politics, those that seek to destroy (the right wing/conservative, as well as the so called left) and those who sek to make things better for all (the "actual left" whcih doesn't include democrats) it's impossible to avoid, as government can do far more then just ruin your life, it can take it.

  • Billy's presence in Milwaukee was a gift. The lyrics of this tune are AWESOME and deep. One distinction in Billy's songs of solidarity being translated into US, is that in America the unions suck and are corrupt! The big money of unions in US are what will screw the little guy under cover of larger collusions of the power brokers. Shame shame shame. I keep faith for the courageous truthful seekers and speakers... A bow to Billy and a slap to corrupted unions. Expose them Billy!!!

  • This was my sister's wedding song. I had no idea it was going to be!  I was pleasantly surprised!

  • He dedicated this song to me one gig! Was in Northampton 08 in November, if anyone else was there. Great gig.

    Also a blues guy called Otis Gibbs supported. Worth checking him out.

  • Bill, we keep faith in you as well. Glad to know the favor is returned.
