This makes reference to England's elite college, Eton. It is a song about class warfare, with lines like, "What chance do you have against a tie and a crest." Paul Weller was inspired to write the song by a news article that he read about unemployed demonstrators on a "Right to Work" march, a campaign initiated by the left wing Socialist Workers Party, passing the prestigious Eton College. The "Eton Rifles" are a cadet corps of Eton College, and the song itself is about the rivalry between boys at Eton and the neighboring working class schoolboys. Paul Weller himself attended Sheerwater Comprehensive school, which was located quite close to Eton.

So many have made a film about a sexual awakening. If anyone ever wants to make a film about a musical awakening (which was far more exciting and eventful} Call Me!!!

John Barry

What chance have we got against a tie and a crest!!!!

The Jam just cut through the competition like a knife through butter,,,,the attitude,the style and the anger,,he was right to end it all in 82 before it became a parody and his views and allegiances changed ….

個人的にはJAM時代のポール・ウェラーが好き♪抑圧された自身を、表現する場を求めるかのように・・・音を奏でる彼が好きだったなぁ～～

Cameron was right to like this song. After all it did celebrate the fighting skills of the Etonians against a bunch of left wing unemployed layabouts.
