This is Dick Gaughan's rendition of a great working class rebel song, which appeared on his 1981 album Handful of Earth. Originally written by the north-east of England singer and songwriter Ed Pickford (who has his own page here on YouTube), the Dropkick Murphys version of this song is, IMVHO, the tune of the century so far.

as a German worker (surveying technician it's called) I have far more in common with collegues from other countries, other mother tongues - than with my German boss. There's a song in my language: "Mann der Arbeit aufgewacht! Und erkenne Deine Macht! Alle Räder stehen still, wenn Dein starker Arm es will!..." "Worker, wake up! And see your power! Everythings stops, if YOUR strong arm wants so..."9 years ago

The principle is right but in practice it simply doesn't work. It is fundamentally greed which drives progress, socilaism leads to stagnation. There needs to be a middle way but so far that's proved beyond human ingenuity.9 years ago

George Galloway, you've lost your way. Is it only a pay check you stand for now? I will take liberty at guessing that your parents would stand for a yes vote in Scotland. George, I respect your standing with/along side with the Palestinians and you not standing on the same stage as the Zionists. I agree and I understand.I do not stand with you on the issue of Scottish Independence. For I vote, if I could, for YES! 9 years ago
