And football teams

i have been a massive billy fan since spy vs spy - have seen him 5 times live and he would make such a great comedian....

Did you see him at Thebby in 93? One of the best gigs of all time.

i never expected billy braggs name to pop up amongt all the threads worshipping five and robbie williams. Billy Bragg is the king. He has a Socialism of the heart. Good to see real talent appreciated.

The Union Forever.

Please don't talk about that gig Leaper. I was supposed to go with my then GF - had my ticket (well my GF did) and then we broke up and she kept the ticket.

Actually - it's almost a story Billy could write a song about.

So as a result I've never seen him live!

The Milkman of Human Kindness


If you're lonely, i will call -
If you're poorly, i will send poetry

I love you
I am the milkman of human kindness
I will leave an extra pint

If you're sleeping, i will wait
If your bed is wet, i will dry your tears

I love you
I am the milkman of human kindness
I will leave an extra pint

Hold my hand for me i'm waking up
Hold my hand for me i'm waking up
Hold my hand for me i'm making up
Won't you hold my hand - i'm making up

If you are falling, i'll put out my hands
If you feel bitter, i will understand


I love you
I am the milkman of human kindness
I will leave an extra pint

goalhanger

he's got the bonhomie of a game show host
and his handshake is so limp it's like meeting a ghost
his apologies are tired cos he uses them alot
his excuses are so lame if they were horses they would be shot

he lies through his teeth with impeccable grammar
in the game of life he's just a dreadful goalhanger

Which leads us to Che Guevera....or does it?

 

[sp-mac]

Imagine my delight when Billy walked on for a guest appearance at Mick Thomas' Xmas show in 2004 at the Corner Hotel.

 

[Dogwatcher]

I'm imagining.....

but what was that rubber sheep doing there sp?

Linder and I have agreed previously on this Board that "Levi Stubb's Tears" is a piece of utter beauty. He is great - he is about due to tour here again. He seems to do it about every three years.

ALL YOU FASCISTS BORN TO LOSE!

he's a socialist who waves the red flag and gets wanna be revolutionaries aroused.

a depressing whinging whining pommy with a huge chip on his shoulder.

you sound like a right wing prick.

 

[jim boy]

Yeah Billy Bragg is pretty cool, I used to see him on a pretty regularly basis.

I've got a couple of his more unusual tracks as well floating around, covers of 'Back in the USSR' and 'The Funky Gibbon'.

totally uncalled for but what i expect from the fringes of the loony left.

these extremists have never been supporters of human rights and freedom of speech..............unless its something they agree with.

John Howard board

if only this puffed up revolutionary with the angry songs has achieved as much as our glorious leader and improved peoples' lives and living standards.

you cant do this by poncing about on stage and preaching to gullible nonces.

 

[Dogwatcher]

Gee glorious leader - I haven't heard anyone described like that since the days of, well Adolf....

Not that I'm comparing JHo to Adolf.

 

[Dogwatcher]

BTW - Please tell me how JHo has improved my life.

 

[agitator]

BTW - Please tell me how JHo has improved my life.

by making sure there isn't a labour gov.

if howard hadn't won the 1996 election we would now be in the same boat as argentina, france, italy and germany................up creek without a paddle and disppearing down the gurgler.
so a bit of respect for our leader is not too much to ask for.

You have no idea - the vast majority of the songs he sings are love songs and he is seems quite a happy geezer to me

No respect for him. So, if you want that - go start another thread up and spruik about "our glorious leader" all you like.

WAITING FOR THE GREAT LEAP FORWARDS

One of my very favourite songs, but for some reason I've never bothered to follow up and listen to more of his stuff.
