Billy Bragg and his New England


The UK's most famous song Billy Bragg, also called "The Red Bard" ("The Red Bard") for his militant communist, is a topic of their first LP (minielepé, really) Life is a riot with spy vs. spy. And the song, naked as a little (just voice and guitar) almost a generational anthem, is A New England . The chorus is one that comes and stays forever ("I do not want to change the world, I'm not looking for a New England: just looking for Another Girl "), as one of the verses, the author says he saw two shooting stars last night, and have expressed wish for each one, but realized that they were not really stars, but satellites, and just wondering if it's worth wishes to launch space hardware. Ironically, as is often shown Bragg, at its best, with that accent cerradísimo London ruling makes "space" ("space") as "spice" ("spice"), or "why" and "way" the same way. And this version of Bragg's best that when he gets really militant , then e sinfumable, I swear, workers hymns somewhat soporific. Perhaps the startling nudity Billy comes from your main musical sources: Woody Guthrie and punk, I guess.
Well, a new English version of Billy Bragg, 1983, not unlike the England of today, also post-royal wedding, also in economic crisis and the Tory in power.
