Billy Bragg The World Turned Upside Down
In 1649 To St. George's Hill, A ragged band they called the Diggers Came to show the people's will They defied the landlords They defied the laws They were the dispossessed reclaiming what was theirs We come in peace they said To dig and sow We come to work the lands in common And to make the waste ground grow This earth divided We will make whole So it will be A common treasury for all The sin of property We do disdain No man has any right to buy and sell The earth for private gain By theft and murder They took the land Mow everywhere the walls Spring up at their command They make the laws To chain us well The clergy dazzle us with heaven Or they damn us into hell We will not worship The God they serve The God of greed who feed the rich While poor folk starve We work we eat together We need no swords We will not bow to the masters Or pay rent to the lords Still we are free Though we are poor You Diggers all stand up for glory Stand up now From the men of property The orders came They sent the hired men and troopers To wipe out the Diggers' claim Tear down their cottages Destroy their corn They were dispersed But still the vision lingers on You poor take courage You rich take care This earth was made a common treasury For everyone to share All things in common All people one We come in peace The orders came to cut them down

Billy Bragg & Wilco - California Stars
This song comes from the 1998 album, Mermaid Avenue. The lyrics to all the songs on this album were written by Woody Guthrie sometime before his death in 1967 and put to music by Billy Bragg and Wilco about 30 years later. The words to this song paint a picture of sleeping and dreaming beneath the beautiful California stars.

Billy Bragg - Tank Park Salute (1991)
Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers Leave the light on at the top of the stairs Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky A tree taps on the window pane That feeling smothers me again Daddy is it true that we all have to die At the top of the stairs Is darkness I closed my eyes and when I looked Your name was in the memorial book and what had become of all the things we planned I accepted the commiserations Of all your friends and your relations But there's some things I still don't understand You were so tall How could you fall? Some photographs of a summer's day A little boy's lifetime away Is all I've left of everything we've done Like a pale moon in a sunny sky Death gazes down as I pass by To remind me that I'm but my father's son I offer up to you This tribute I offer up to you This tank park salute

Billy Bragg and Lisa Miller - Reason To Believe
Recorded for Australian late night chat show The Panel in 2003. The song was written by Tim Hardin and first recorded in 1965. Recorded by Rod Stewart in 1971. A quote from Lisa Miller`s website describes this particular collaboration..... Lisa and Billy only met about 2 hours before it went to air, they ran through it a few times on set while the crew set up. Then we went off for a quick dinner and some amusing anecdotes from Mr. Bragg, returned for make-up - Lisa got this amazing holographic 3D lipstick. Then Lisa and Billy practised the song a few more times in the men's toilets until they got the call - they went directly from the dunny to the set, did the song live, and it was fantastic.

Billy Bragg - She's Got a New Spell
What is that sound Where is it coming from All around What are you running from Something you don't understand Something you cannot command Chorus: That's how I know She's got a new spell Yes, that's how I know That she's got a new spell What's going down Who's moved this room from round me Where has it gone I fear this night will drown me So I lie awake all night 'Cos I can't sleep with something I can't fight The laws of gravity are very, very strict And you're just bending them for your own benefit One minute she says She's gone to get the cat in The next thing I know She's mumbling in Latin She cut the stars out of the sky And baked them in a pie She stole the scene and scenery The script and the machinery

Billy Bragg - You Woke Up My Neighbourhood (1991)
As I wait for sleep to drag me under In the evening gloom I sit and wonder The words I should have said to you The things I always meant to do The bad dreams that all came true Chorus: You woke up my neighbourhood Night after night we would row You woke up my neighbourhood Things are pretty quiet round here now When I think of how we were together I know we couldn't be like that for ever Beneath the Seven Sister stars The night we let it go too far I slept out in the car Chorus I remember skipping on the porch tilll it grew cold I remember feeling like I was eight years old Somersaults across the lawn Singing dancing up till dawn Every now and then we'd have a row You woke up my neighbourhood Things are pretty quiet round here now Chorus (repeat)

I'm not a Wolves fan but I am a fan of Billy Bragg. Trying to teach my class how to use Moviemaker and thought I better teach myself first. The song and video are about the Wolves player Peter Knowles who quit First division football to follow his faith. Enjoy.(Hopefully).

Billy Bragg - Ideology
When one voice rules the nation Just because they're top of the pile Doesn't mean their vision is the clearest The voices of the people Are falling on deaf ears Our politicians all become careerists They must declare their interests But not their company cars Is there more to a seat in parliament Than sitting on your arse And the best of all this bad bunch Is shouting to be heard Above the sound of ideologies clashing Outside the patient millions Who put them into power Expect a little more back for their taxes Like school books, beds in hospitals And peace in our bloody time All they get is old men grinding axes Who've built their private fortunes On the things they can rely The courts, the secret handshake The Stock Exchange and the old school tie For God and Queen and Country All things they justify Above the sound of ideologies clashing God bless the civil service The nations saving grace While we expect democracy They're laughing in our face And although our cries get louder The laughter gets louder still Above the sound of ideologies clashing Above the sound of ideologies, Above the sound of ideologies, Above the sound of ideologies clashing
Billy Bragg - Levi Stubbs' Tears
With the money from her accident She bought herself a mobile home So at least she could get some enjoyment Out of being alone No one could say that she was left up on the shelf It's you and me against the World kid she mumbled to herself CHORUS: When the world falls apart some things stay in place Levi Stubbs' tears run down his face She ran away from home on her mother's best coat She was married before she was even entitled to vote And her husband was one of those blokes The sort that only laughs at his own jokes The sort a war takes away And when there wasn't a war he left anyway Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong Are here to make everything right that's wrong Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too Are here to make it all okay with you One dark night he came home from the sea And put a hole in her body where no hole should be It hurt her more to see him walking out the door And though they stitched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the floor When the world falls apart some things stay in place She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case When the world falls apart some things stay in place Levi Stubbs' tears...
