It's a pity The Levellers have never had wider aclaim. Their lyrics have represented a hugely perceptive social commentary for more than twenty years. Perhaps the most important band most people have never heard of.

Levellers still going strong! Recognise places I visited on holiday in Brighton, even saw the Metway, round the corner from my sister in laws student digs. Great tune, great album, great band have seen them live four times. Highly recommended if you like real music.

boys youve fucking nailed it again!... yer know what? when I came through my fucked up times when i was 16 you made me want to play guitar and sing and gave me reason to carry on, I lost you all for a while, you shouted me again with green blade rising, I heard you more with letters, and Im hearing you as strong now as I ever have..... You give me faith love it.... Gary J Armstrong

You're right that Mark's voice failed, but I reckon he's got it back now. Saw him on Weds and if I closed my eyes, it was like being back in the nineties. It was absolutely spot on.

Forgive my ignorance: I am trying to interpret the words, whilst drunk. 'We are Gunmen all' is that a reference to us being the great polluters, or, Steven Kings 'Gun slingers' with his 'Dark tower'(watctower). I will wax sychophantic for a mo, I'm a big fan (not a reciprocating electric type). Could you please explain what you mean. and that.

What other bands are still writing lyrics this epicly relevant ?? 🤷🏼♂️ No politicians, just compasion Celebrity, its out of fashion Innocence dont take a thrashin’ On the playground floor. Constable paints awesome skies, Intead of macing suspects eyes Bankers pay is justified and all nations come in peace. We are gunmen all, the guardians of the watch tower; Lighting up the beacons to bring our riders home We are gunmen all, the guardians of the watch tower; Lighting up the beacons to bring our riders home Sun rises on the village green Not digitised on a flat screen Lovers kisses can be seen Darkness holds no fear Everyone drinks socially; Not because they’re crippled emotionally and all our sleep is trouble free wrapped up in caring arms We are gunmen all, the guardians of the watch tower; Lighting up the beacons to bring our riders home We are gunmen all, the guardians of the watch tower; Lighting up the beacons to bring our riders home Our hopes are old and dressed in rags The faded colour of many flags and the, broken metal of our tags; keeps this dream alive Well, mistrust could never last The future lives and not the past We are only shadows cast just trying to hold on We are gunmen all, the guardians of the watch tower; Lighting up the beacons to bring our riders home
