Corner pub version. Only good if you were there and tanked up.

Perfect.

Deny Defend Depose

One of my favourite song from Billy Bragg superb lyrics

Makes me want to go punting in Cambridge again. Jolly good show old boy.

It's brilliant than someone out there wrote a song about jumping; there are not enough.

Like this strident protest song,the tune apparently is based on a traditional tune.

I'm pretty sure if he'd got caught balls deep in a fifteen year old he would find that the law very much does apply to him😂

Great Alt artist.

Brilliant song, sadly as relevant now as when he wrote it.

A national treasure X

Well we found your ' new England' Billy can working class communities you lot trashed have it back please????

Balls to advocate this topic well when when it was not safe to be gay x

Lovely, I'm learning how to play this on ukulele to this rendition. Such a beautiful smile at the end too Billy

"Available on his new LP" :D

When I was a teenager this song stuck out from the local radio rotation.

This sounds like a singing response to Oliver Anthony's Rich man north of Richmond. Nice. No unions where I work, they're actively and passively suppressed. Thanks WNCW for playing this on my home from work.

A fucking hero is Billy, big nose but it was a joke, Glaso '87 😉

Good thing Billy was there to save the tune , Thanks for the ear bleed stipe wtaf

Thank god for Billy Bragg

AND he plays the most amazibg BURNS Steer guitar! One of thge best ever!

Have no idea who Levi Stubbs is but this is truly heartfelt.

Always good to see Kirsty MacColl. Cute song, didnt know it.

I pleased to say that i was at that most memorable of gigs (and I've still got the ticket somewhere).

Billy owns a very special corner of my soul

Let's keep this spirit even in the despicable next era of Trump, humanity will get out of this

"Here we are in our summer years - living on ice cream and chocolate kisses. But would the leaves fall from the trees if I was your old man and you were my Mrs . . ?". Not ashamed to say this always brings a tear to my eye. If you've known true love, you'll understand (I've known it for 42 years!) . . . ❤

Billy has provided the commentary for my life. Thank you.

An East End Icon , thank you Billy

Might every bum and hobo, every no-hoper and bottom scraper, find peace and warmth tonight and every night hereafter

awesome music video incorporating many elements of life and history

What 80s movie has this song?

Red Star Belgrade fan here, I grew up listening to Billy Bragg’s music as he was immensely popular in Belgrade in the late 80s - early 90s due to couple of local radio stations often featuring his tunes. In addition, this song and music video were released right in the 1990-1991 historic season when Red Star Belgrade became European Champion by beating Olympique Marseille in the final.

Legend

😢..

Oof. Yeah.

I used to live in an emotional and physical abusive home and that middle verse always gets to me everytime.

I love you Billy. Called in sick to go see you at Occupy and ended up on the news. My boss wasn't impressed.

Possibly 1 of the greatest songs ever written. Still as fresh now as it was the 1st time I heard it.

If you’re a fan of this fantastic duo Please check out Billy Bragg’s collaboration with Wilco singing the songs of Woody Guthrie!!!!!

I cry every time I hear this song it’s insane

Thought I recognised the guitar, Marr and Bragg - with Kirsty what a great combination

Billy Billy Billy Billy boy oh why why why where did you go 😮❤

I saw Billy's first Burlington appearance in '85 at Hunt's. It did snow that night, a lot. There were maybe 50 people in the room.

When Kirsty MacColl recorded this, she thought it was too short, so she cooked Billy Bragg a fry-up breakfast while he wrote an extra verse just for her. I saw Billy live a few times, great times.
