If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

I was kidding with my earlier nonsense, but it occurred to me tonight that what other song can it be than this one?

I was just browsing seven inches and pulled out this which was one of my better blind buys which I'm fairly sure was based purely on how she looked on the sleeve, a shallow tactic but one that has served me well.

Kate Fagan - Waiting For The Crisis

a nice yootoober kindly transcribed the lyrics
"we sell guns to all our third world friends
we sell guns, if they will sell us oil
we are waiting, we are waiting
waiting for the crisis, waiting for the crisis

we'll sell nukes, if you will be our friend
we'll sell nukes, if you will sell your oil
we are waiting, we are waiting
waiting for your crisis, waiting for your crisis

we'll sell arms, if you will be our friend
we're waiting for your crisis
we'll sell arms, if we can build a base
we're waiting for the crisis
we are waiting, we are waiting
waiting for your crisis, waiting for the crisis

we sell urianium to offset our deficit
we sell bombs to offset our deficit
we sell nukes to offset our deficit
we sell guns to offset our deficit

we sell plutonium to offset our deficit
we sell arms to offset our deficit
we sell tanks to offset our deficit

we sell hate to offset our deficit."

So the Guardian have put this question out to its readers, I'll leave it up to you to decide if they've swept to victory or been soundly beaten by OSG.

There‘s „Land of Confusion“ in their playlist. They can leave the EU now. I hate that song.

I‘m thinking „Adieu to old England“ by Shirley Collins.

CeeLo Green - Fuck You seems like a stretch, and yet feels appropriate. I'll allow it.
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

The entire Idles album ''Joy As An Act Of Resistance'' reeks of Brexit, it's absolutely brilliant and I'd highly recommend a full listen through.

Highlights are ''Great'' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CzNOD7ukMA

And ''Danny Nedelko'' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkF_G-RF66M

This song is just a mixture of half-read Guardian articles, the first riffs a prepubescent Green Day fan would write, and football chanting. Sprinkle some Phantom Menace Yoda on top.

Touched a nerve here have I? If you actually looked into the band at all you'd know they're entirely against toxic masculine bullshit EXACTLY like football chanting. Good attempt at derailing it though.
