Beats Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 An Irish Rebel Song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden Gorgie Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 They have banned her from singing it and the official excuse is............Its an Irish rebel song! The good news is that she now wants to pull out the concert in protest. Teacher I spoke to who told me it was a rebel song admitted to never having read the lyrics. That's ludicrous. Maybe said teacher should read once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Irish rebel song Another head hangs lowly, Child is slowly taken. And the violence caused such silence. Who are we mistaken? But you see, it's not me, it's not my family. In your head, in your head they are fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are crying... In your head, in your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie, Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head, In your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie? Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou... Another mother's breakin' Heart is taking over When the violence causes silence, We must be mistaken. It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen. In your head, in your head they're still fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are dying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarJambo Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I always thought that it was a song about the British army, zombie because they all dress the same in unirom (with their tanks and their bombs and their guns they are fighting) why not go for illegal attacks by Ian Brown? just for shits n giggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor FinnBarr Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 No, he was one time head of her primary. Doh, mixing up a current ref with an ex ref. School phoned today, no mention of it being a rebel song now. Seems its too political now because of the mention of 1916. Meeting the Head tomorrow.

PsychocAndy Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'd say it is too late to learn another song and give them a list of songs she does know.

peter_hmfc Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 you should ask them if they would ban any performances of Romeo and Juliet? Endorsing a play where some 14 year olds meet and within days they've pumped, married, murdered then committed suicide? Aye, pimp that one out to the kids. To answer the question yes, "Zombie" by The Cranberries is a good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor FinnBarr Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 After todays meeting with the Head its not rebel music any longer, its back to being political again which isn't allowed. He wouldn't even consider a compromise of Kay's to change the offending (in his eyes) lyrics. They've agreed to allow her to sing the Levellers choon Beautiful Day which they've vetted and its ok. So the 5th November, lighting the fuse this time, revolution and Guevara are not political but 1916 is? What a badword oddball school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor FinnBarr Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Beautiful Day is the arsehole of the world when it comes to songs. It certainly is the most commercial thing the Levellers have ever done but the political content of most of their other stuff would rule them out at school plus most folks wouldn't have heard of them. But "arsehole of the world" when we have manufactured boy/girl "bands"? Have a word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
