aussieh Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm not sure any of those songs are applicable to War. Eton Rifles is about marching past the snobs at Eton. A bomb in Wardour street is about an IRA terrorist attack. Going Underground I'm not sure what the connection would be. War comes in many different form. Them and us. Rockets and guns ma man. Didn't realise it had to be literal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for starters Eton Rifles doesn't qualify no matter which way you look at it as its about the lower classes and a right to work march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Leaf Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'll see that and raise you this... I almost posted that one too, Boris, but it isn't a song per se, it's a tune. Very stirring number by a British composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussieh Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 ?It?s a piss-take on class. It?s an imaginary setting and that ? the two classes clash, like the trendy sort of revolutionary saying in the pub, ?Come on, sup up and collect your cigarettes cos there?s a row down the road?, and it?s like ?The revolution will start after I?ve finished my pint?. That?s how a lot of people feel. That?s how I feel. It?s a lazy attitude, but in another sense it?s a realistic one. There?s all this going on in the world and that, Cuba and that crap and nuclear threats and everything, but as long as I?ve enough for a pint I can tolerate all this.?

Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Yes, yes, yes. Tucked away late at night after the Hitman and Her or some such shite. Sgt Zeke- the battle hardened vet steering his rookies through their tour with a mixture of tough love and common sense. A father figure, a little bit distant as like Billy Brown he'd seen things and been places... took it hard when one of his boys got hit. Tried not to show it... Good lookin flyboy chopper pilot who always seemed to be taking his aviators off or carrying out some insane medivac. Simple farmer type boy. Struggled at first to adjust to army life, just wanted to go home to Mary Anne and raise kids and a crop. Now a hardened pro, The Sgts right hand man. Token black guy unhappy at fighting the white mans war. Just looking forward to getting back to 'the world' and his brothers on the lower East side. Token new character in every episode who only had a few weeks left to go who you knew would die before the titles rolled. A slower and more sombre closing theme ala The Sweeney. That has to be on YouChoob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 When it comes to writing anti-war song, two names from the 1960s stand out: Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton Up first, "I Ain't Marching Any More" by Phil Ochs" Second, "Lyndon Johnson Told The Nation" by Tom Paxton: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're looking at the world through the barrel of a gunAre we ready? And you stand there beating on your little war drumAre you ready? And it won't be long before your time has comeAre you ready?
