@Mauve_matelot I had no idea that song was political until it featured in an ep of I think _The Crown_ & I looked it up on wikipedia.
@rpardee most of British music from the punk/Ska and two tone style has a political message.
I am watching a BBC series called Lenny Henry Caribbean Voices. Here is another song.
@Mauve_matelot @rpardee I have some friends who look after 2-tone ska dog and often take him to music festivals (although haven't for a while) https://www.facebook.com/2toneskadog/ Obviously they are into that kind of music.
@rpardee Same political party 40 years apart, many similar approaches and as the verses say "I said I see no joy, I see only sorrow
I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow, Our lives seem petty in your cold gray hands
Would you give a second thought, would you ever give a damn?
I doubt it
Work, white law
Shell shock, world war"
The threads of history are coming up to the surface again.
