Damn it that's really taken the shine off Kissinger going. One of the greatest English lyricists and one of the most heroic livers in medical history. "Rum..." and "If I Should Fall..." are two great albums. He wasn't only blacklisted by the BBC for the Fairytale nonsense but also this: [url= There were six men in Birmingham, in Guildford, there's four That were picked up and tortured and framed by the law And the filth got promotion, but they're still doing time For being Irish in the wrong place and at the wrong time In Ireland, they'll put you away in the Maze In England, they'll keep you for seven long days God help you if ever you're caught on these shores The coppers need someone and they walk through that door You'll be counting years, first five, then ten Growing old in a lonely hell 'Round the yard and the stinking cell From wall to wall and back again A curse on the judges, the coppers, and screws Who tortured the innocent, wrongly accused For the price of promotion and justice to sell May the judged be their judges when they rot down in hell You'll be counting years, first five, then ten Growing old in a lonely hell 'Round the yard and the lousy cell From wall to wall, then back again May the whores of the empire lie awake in their beds And sweat as they count out the sins on their heads While over in Ireland, eight more men lie dead Kicked down and shot in the back of the head You'll be counting years, first five, then ten Growing old in a freezing hell 'Round the yard and the lousy cell From wall to wall, then back again Counting years, first five, then ten Growing old in a lonely hell 'Round the yard and the lousy cell From wall to wall, then back again Every word true; can't be having that on the BBC.
