This one is quite apt too. Some of the guys in the village I live in were involved in some of the scenes shown in the video.

R.I.P. to the poor sods who lost their lives or livelihoods because of her.
For liberty there is a cost - its broken skulls and leather cosh,
From the boys in uniform - now you know whose side their on -
With backing - with blessing,
From earthly gods not heaven,
A stones throw away from it all.
Whatever pleasures those who get - from stripping skin with rhino whip,
Are the kind that must be stopped - before their kind take all we've got -
With loving - with caring,
They take great pride in working,
The stones throw away from it all.

Whenever honesty persists - you'll hear the snap of broken ribs,
Of anyone who'll take no more - of the lying bastards roar -
In Chile - In Poland,
Johannesburg - South Yorkshire,
A stones throw away: Now we're there.

Jeff wasn't listening to them but I do have a Dollar single on vinyl tucked away somewhere.
Nice.

Lack of quote of Jeff's post led me to believe you were listening to Keith Emerson & Co. Well , not really, I just used the opportunity. Dollar however, well.....

I have two Bucks Fizz and a fistful of Abba singles too.
 
Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill 2 Soundtrack.

Best. Game. Ever.
 
Excellent music at Brunton Park this afternoon, as usual.
Started with The Beat's Whine and Grine/Stand Down Margaret, but had to stop it for a draw on the pitch before it got to the thatcher bit. Followed by something I didn't recognise by The Fall, but I suspect it was one of their anti-thatcher songs. Story of the Blues by Wah at the end - I'm sure PA man Dunno would have played a certain more recent Pete Wylie song if he thought he could get away with it.
 


I like this mining song too.
These lyrics at the end about New Labour are so true

................when they ask aboot ma clan, i tell them i'm a workin' man, an' the union was clan enough for me.
it gave me brothers frae, the reddin' tae the rhondda, comrades frae the rockets tae the rand,
for there's nae colour, creed or race when ye're sweatin' at the face, wi a pick or a shovel in yer hand

Chorus: i used to battle with the prince o' darkness
i used to steal away his heart through a four foot seam; and when they asked if i was poor, i'd tell them "aye, sure"
but they never had to teach me how to dream

but now we've got a government in london, and the new labour party's won the day,
and they come back tae find their roots in their sharp italian suits, and when the cameras are gone, so are they
and they whisper that socialism's diein', ye cannae sell it at the supermarket till, but where there's fifty left like me, we'll make bloody sure they see, that ideas are the hardest things tae kill.

Chorus: i used to battle with the prince o' darkness
i used to steal away his heart through a four foot seam; and when they asked if i was poor, i'd tell them "aye, sure"
but they never had to teach me how to dream
