    Also be sure to check out his wonderful version of "Blakes Jerusalem", that we all know and love from the 'Boxers'-tour.
    His version of "The Internationale" is also highly recommended, and I think will also be on the new album!

      By scanning the first line, "My mother was half English and I’m half English too,"
      I'm reminded of Billy Bragg's "Like Soldiers Do"

      "Our Fathers were all soldiers, Shall we be soldiers too"

        The new Billy Bragg? (Score:0)
        Has anyone heard the new disc? I heard one song and it was dreadful!! I wouldn't even know it was him. I hope the rest of the disc is better!

          this comes from his new single released mid feb in the u.k.
          the lyrics are really funny but the melody is very messy.

            Well...what can I say?? Billy is undoubtedly one of the finest lyricists England ever produced, Morrissey should follow his example, cut the crap and release a proper album, will you Steven?
            I wonder whether the persona took control of himself...sad sad sad...
