That sounds a bit harsh,I'm sure he has still time to write a few good political protest songs it's just that he hasn't done many recently.

I still have this CD. Saw this band for devotchka at masonic temple in Denver. May have seen them before that, but that particular show really turned my head around. Bought the albatross cd with this track and still listen to it often. Land Lines is great too. Much love.

Billy used to put down his own guitar style and sound, and some critics called it messy and unorthodox. It was beautifully perfect, you just haven't heard perfect before!

yes your song is more factual, and you can say olier anthonys song is missing something but this is missing the real raw emotion that that song encapsulates

My girl bought me "Best of Billy Brag" Cd I did not have the heart to tell her I had already had cassettes of most songs. Appreciation does not mean I am gay. But its a long way from the top of the pops and the shops to get a sausage roll. We salute you BB for your fortitude and , to quote from the horse mouth. "will politics give me the sack" No BB both my wife and I am alongside all the way. Actually, sexuality , have been beamed up by "Scotty" aka Starship Enterprise, in the form of children and grandchildren.

Lolly's Dad here...30+ years ago my then little boy (now 36) would look up at me and his mum and say "Put Shirley On", on would go this track and all of us would sing at the top of our voices whilst dancing around the room. Those were truly happy times.

Fun video. Unfortunately the quality differential between the UK filmed pal footage with Billy (and friends) and the NTSC footage filmed in the states outside the old Gothic plantation House with R.E.M. is noticeable .. The NTSC footage looks crisp and atmospheric, the pal footage looks blurry, soft and lacking in detail.. Could do with a remaster.

Its a very RIGHT ON sex positive song - given the time it was released ( the tail end of the HIV/ AIDS panic) .. it was probably about reclaiming that aspect of the human condition from a dark stigma which had shrouded it during the 80s. Kirsty playing wingman to Bragg just adds something timeless and great to things.

Heard he’s changed the lyrics to this “just because you’re they”. FFS they were bad enough already. Does he still finish his gigs saying he’s from Barking! Beyond parody…..

I left home young, married young, had my heart ripped out more than I would have thought possible. Music is always my emotional support. It has been my most constant companion for 40 years. This song is an old friend.

I like this song. On a side note: It's a shame that on the 'Don't Try This At Home' album that the two drum beats are missing at the beginning of the song.

Billy Bragg is the man who set me on my path as a singer-songwriter, I owe him a huge debt. Also, Mavis Nicholson, what a terrific interviewer and journalist. Respect to both.
