1973
Meat and two veg
The order of the day
Egg and chips
Those trusty standbys
Powers cuts and strikes
Lock outs and riots
Calor gas evenings
Radio by candle light
The white heat of technology
The Tiber foaming red
Unfulfilled prophesies
Littered the dirty streets
Those were the days
Of sedentary bombs
In secret locations
Policemen & revolutionaries
Armies of occupation
The other Battle of Britain
Was waged in the dark

It seems to me that nowadays people are numb, don't have hopes and matters to fight for. I don't like fights but to feel numb seems even worse to me. I was on the barricades in 1979 and that formed me, who i am now.....
