I mean, my all-time favourite bands are probably The Beatles and The Who - but I hardly ever play their records these days, because I just know them TOO well.

I mean, my all-time favourite bands are probably The Beatles and The Who - but I hardly ever play their records these days, because I just know them TOO well. Well, it's a bit up and down, tbh. The last few days it's been very much Queen in my car, dvd, etc, but most of the time I listen to many other bands, Queensryche probably being the band I listen to most these days. This time it was just a long time since I had that Wembley-concert on so I just felt for it. But I'll probably never get tired of listening to them, no. Every time they're played on the radio I just enjoy. :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted November 30, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2009 I think it's been a few pages since I posted some Jimmy... Girls, girls, girls There ain't nothin' like 'em in the whole wide world So damn smart and cute And it's amazing what they pass off as a bathing suit into We are the Folk Song Army Every one of us cares We all hate poverty, war, and injustice Unlike the rest of you squares There are innocuous folk songs Yeah, but we regard 'em with scorn The folks who sing 'em have no social conscience Why, they don't even care if Jimmy crack corn If you feel dissatisfaction Strum your frustrations away Some people may prefer action But give me a folk song any old time The tune don't have to be clever And it don't matter if you put a couple of extra syllables into a line It sounds more ethnic if it ain't good English And it don't even gotta rhyme (Excuse me, rhyne) Remember the war against Franco That's the kind where each of us belongs Though he might have won all the battles We had all the good songs So join in the Folk Song Army Guitars are the weapons we bring To the fight against poverty, war, and injustice Ready, aim, sing! And in that general vein, Phil Ochs - Love Me I'm a Liberal... the youtube vids of this song have updated lyrics, so no video link. I cried when they shot Medgar Evers Tears ran down my spine I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy As though I'd lost a father of mine But Malcolm X got what was coming He got what he asked for this time So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal I go to civil rights rallies And I put down the old D.A.R. I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy I hope every colored boy becomes a star But don't talk about revolution That's going a little bit too far So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal I cheered when Humphrey was chosen My faith in the system restored I'm glad the commies were thrown out Of the AFL-CIO board I love Puerto Ricans and Negroes As long as they don't move next door So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal The people of old Mississippi Should all hang their heads in shame I can't understand how their minds work What's the matter, don't they watch Les Crain But if you ask me to bus my children I hope the cops take down your name So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal I read New Republic and Nation I've learned to take every view You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden I feel like I'm almost a Jew But when it comes to times like Korea There's no one more red, white, and blue So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal I vote for the Democratic Party They want the UN to be strong I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts He sure gets me singing those songs I'll send all the money you ask for But don't ask me to come on along So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal Once I was young and impulsive I wore every conceivable pin Even went to the socialist meetings Learned all the old union hymns But I've grown older and wiser And that's why I'm turning you in So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal /me wonders if any UKians tried a version of this, perhaps with "New Labour" for "a liberal"...

mjmooney Posted November 30, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2009 And in that general vein, Phil Ochs - Love Me I'm a Liberal... the youtube vids of this song have updated lyrics, so no video link. Once I was young and impulsive I wore every conceivable pin Even went to the socialist meetings Learned all the old union hymns But I've grown older and wiser And that's why I'm turning you in So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal /me wonders if any UKians tried a version of this, perhaps with "New Labour" for "a liberal"...Yup. The People's Flag Is Palest Pink "The People's Flag Is Palest Pink", also known as "The Red Flag Once a Year" or the "Battle Hymn of the New Socialist Party", is a parody of the song "The Red Flag". It is intended to satirise the lack of socialist principles in the British Labour Party. It long predates the reforms associated with Tony Blair. It was widely known in the 1960s, sometimes sung during late night parties at student conferences. Versions of this song have been recorded and released at least twice by singer/songwriter Leon Rosselson under the title of "Battle Hymn of the New Socialist Party" between the late 1960s and the early 2000s and he may claim credit for authorship of the song, although a version which began "The people's flag is palest pink, mum washed it in the kitchen sink" was popular among school children in the fifties and may have inspired Rosselson's version. It is sung to the tune "O Tannenbaum/Oh Christmas Tree". There are variants, but it runs something like this: The people's flag is palest pink It's not the colour you might think White collar workers stand and cheer The Labour government is here We'll change the country bit by bit So nobody will notice it And just to show that we're sincere We'll sing The Red Flag once a year The cloth cap and the woollen scarf Are images outdated For we're the party's avant garde And we are educated So raise the rolled umbrella high The college scarf, the old school tie And just to show that we're sincere We'll sing The Red Flag once a year One variant includes the verse: The People's flag is slightly pink It's not as red as people think The working class can kiss my arse I've got the foreman's job at last Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
