    I have a disdain for celebrities who spout on about their politics/beliefs, even Roger Waters. I have been listening to PF since my early teens when they were churning out mainly shit. I hated Thatcher and I hate her memory. But do you really think that Thatcher thought "oh fucking hell, the Belgrano poses one hell of a threat to our fleet". No, the professionals did and advised her so and asked for permission to sink the ship. Regardless of her reasons, she came up with the right answer. War has to be waged by the professionals.

    Canned Heat. Let’s work together

    Together we stand, divided we fall
    Come on now people, let's get on the ball and work together
    Come on, come on let's work together, now now people
    Because together we will stand, every boy every girl woman and a man
    Before when things go wrong, as they sometimes will
    And the road you travel, it stays all uphill
    Let's work together, come on, come on, let's work together
    You know together we will stand, every boy, girl, woman and a man
    Oh well now, two or three minutes, two or three hours
    What does it matter now, in this life of ours
    Let's work together, come on, come on
    Let's work together, now now people
    Because together we will stand, every boy, every woman and a man

    Is it? I think you’re reading something into it that isn’t in the lyric.Though I don’t doubt that Waters is and was NOT a fan of the Iron Lady.

    The later lyric to The Fletcher Memorial Home gives it away...


    Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
    And build them a home, a little place of their own.
    The Fletcher Memorial
    Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings.

    And they can appear to themselves every day
    On closed circuit T.V.
    To make sure they're still real.
    It's the only connection they feel.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Reagan and Haig
    Mr. Begin and friend, Mrs. Thatcher, and Paisley
    Mr. Brezhnev and party.
    The ghost of McCarthy,
    The memories of Nixon.

    And now, adding color, a group of anonymous latin-
    American Meat packing glitterati.

    Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?
    They can polish their medals and sharpen their
    Smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for awhile.
    Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead.

    Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
    With their favorite toys
    They'll be good girls and boys
    In the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial
    Wasters of life and limb.
    Is everyone in?
    Are you having a nice time?
    Now the final solution can be applied.

    Amazed this hasn't come up yet.

    It was Dumpy's Rusty Nuts that introduced me to it though; too young to remeber the original.

    JUST FOR KICKS
    (Mike Sarne)

    If there's one thing that I like
    It's a burn up on my bike
    A burn up with a bird up on my bike
    Now the M1 ain't much fun
    Till you try and do a ton
    A burn up on my bike, that's what I like

    Just for kicks, I ride all through the night
    My bird hangs on in fright
    When I do the ton for kicks

    When my bird decides to turn up
    I'm off to have a burn up
    A burn up with a bird up on my bike
    When I pass a little scooter
    I blast him with my hooter
    A burn up on my bike, that's what I like

    Just for kicks, I ride all through the night
    My bird hangs on in fright
    When I do the ton for kicks

    We meet the other ton-up boys at Fred's Cave every night
    We just drop in to see the birds and sometimes have a bite
    We spend a couple of hours just tunin' our machines
    With our black leather jackets and our oily greasy jeans

    If there's one thing that I like
    It's a burn up on my bike
    A burn up with a bird up on my bike
    Now the M1 ain't much fun
    Till you try and do a ton
    A burn up on my bike, that's what I like

    Just for kicks, I ride all through the night
    My bird hangs on in fright
    When I do the ton for kicks

    Just for kicks, I ride all through the night
    My bird hangs on in fright
    When I do the ton for kicks

    So I tried my best illegal move
    Well, baby, black and white come and touched my groove again!

    I can't drive 55! Oh No!
    Uh!
    So I signed my name on number 24, hey!
    Yeah the judge said, "Boy, just one more...
    We're gonna throw your ass in the city joint"
    Looked me in the eye, said, "You get my point?"
    I said Yea!, Oh yea!
    Write me up a 125
    Post my face wanted dead or alive
    Take my license, all that jive
    I can't drive 55!
    Oh, yea!
    I can't drive 55!
    I can't drive 55!
    I can't drive 55!
    I can't drive 55!
    Uh!
    When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer.
    And I can't get get my care out of second gear.
    What used to take two hours now takes all day. Huh!
    It took me 16 hours to get to L.A.
    Gonna write me up a 125

    Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
    Ancient footprints are everywhere.
    You could almost think that you're seeing double
    On the cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.

    A couple of amazing, moving songs by Assemblage 23

    30,000ft
    Hello, if you're there pick up the phone
    I'm calling from thirty thousand feet above you
    The captain's just informed us that our plane is going down
    So I'm calling for one last time to say I love you
    I'm not certain how much time I might have left so I'll be brief
    I'm sorry if this message only amplifies your grief
    But I couldn't bear the burden of never having said goodbye
    And the pain you feel I promise you will go away with time
    I'm sorry I won't be there to see our children grow
    Please tell them that I loved them more than they will ever know
    Tell my family and friends how much I love them all as well
    I'm sure that we will meet again but only time will tell
    I'm sorry most of all I won't be there when you grow old
    To be there by your side and keep you warm when you are cold
    Forgive me but I think my time is drawing to a close
    So I've one last thing to tell you now before I have to go
    I.................


    Disappoint
    Just one more time
    For the sake of sanity
    Tell me why
    Explain the gravity
    That drove you to this
    That brought you to this place
    That pushed you down
    Into the soil's embrace
    Give me the chance
    I was denied
    To sit and talk with you
    For one last time
    Did I disappoint you?
    Did I let you down?
    Did I stand on the shore
    And watch you as you drowned?
    Can you forgive me?
    I never knew
    The pain you carried
    Deep inside of you.
    I can't forget
    Having to see
    The words that knocked the wind
    Right out of me
    It's not enough
    I've come undone
    Trying to find sense
    Where there is none
    Just give me peace
    You owe me that
    To help ward off the fears
    I must combat
    Did I disappoint you?
    Did I let you down?
    Did I stand on the shore
    And watch you as you drowned?
    Can you forgive me?
    I never knew
    The pain you carried
    Deep inside of you.
    And so I ask
    For one more chance
    To understand
    This senseless circumstance
    Help me to see
    This through your eyes
    The reasons I've been trying
    To surmise
    Though you are gone
    I am still your son
    And while your pain is over
    Mine has just begun
    Did I disappoint you?
    Did I let you down?
    Did I stand on the shore
    And watch you as you drowned?
    Can you forgive me?
    I never knew
    The pain you carried
    Deep inside of you.

    I go to parties sometimes until four
    It's hard to leave when you can't find the door



    ....or so I've heard anyway.

    Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
    Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
    You've seen it all, you've seen it all

    Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
    And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
    Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream

    Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
    The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
    I'm an over-forty victim of fate
    Arriving too late, arriving too late

    Mama told me, when I was young
    Come sit beside me, my only son
    And listen closely, to what I say.
    And if you do this
    It will help you some sunny day.

    Ohh take your time... Don't live too fast,
    Troubles will come, and they will pass.
    Go find a woman and you'll find love,
    And don't forget son,
    There is someone up above.

    (Chorus)
    And be a simple kind of man.
    And maybe some day you'll love and understand.
    Baby be a simple kind of man.
    Won't you do this for me son,
    If you can?

    Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
    All that you need is in your soul,
    And you can do this if you try.
    All that I want for you my son,
    Is to be satisfied.

    (Chorus)

    Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
    Follow you heart and nothing else.
    And you can do this if you try.
    All I want for you my son,
    Is to be satisfied.

    Says Red Molly, to James, "Well that's a fine motorbike.
    A girl could feel special on any such like."
    Says James, to Red Molly, "My hat's off to you.
    It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952.

    And I've seen you on the corners and cafes, it seems.
    Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme."
    And he pulled her on behind,
    And down to Boxhill,
    They'd Ride.

    Says James, to Red Molly, "Here's a ring for your right hand.
    But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man;
    For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen.
    I've robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine.
    And now I'm twenty-one years, I might make twenty-two.
    And I don't mind dyin' but for the love of you.
    But if fate should break my stride, then I'll give you my Vincent, To Ride."

    "Come down Red Molly, " called Sargent McQuade.
    "For they've taken young James Aidee for Armed Robbery.
    Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside.
    Oh, come down, Red Molly, to his dying bedside."
    When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left.
    He was runnin' out of road. He was runnin' out of breath.
    But he smiled, to see her cry.
    And said, "I'll give you my Vincent.
    To Ride."

    Said James, "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world
    Beats a '52 Vincent and a Redheaded girl.
    Now Nortons and Indians and Greavses won't do.
    Oh, they don't have a Soul like a Vincent '52."

    Well he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys.
    He said, "I've got no further use...for these.
    I see Angels on Ariels in leather and chrome,
    Swoopin' down from Heaven to carry me home."

    And he gave her one last kiss and died.
    And he gave her his Vincent.
    To Ride.
