Track of the week 26/6/16
In the week of Brexit, I felt that this was an appropriate track of the week.
A great track about Britain’s (England’s really) shameful past, but still a song of hope, of what might still be.
The past is steeped in shame,
But tomorrow’s fair game,
For a life that’s fit for living
Good morning Britain.
I have been surprised as to how worried the Brexit vote has left me. I am now fearful that our economy will tank and that times will be tough.
That my children will now no longer be able to so easily go and live and work in the wide European continent saddens me. We have taken a backwards step, an attempt to close our doors in an ever more international and global world.
Hopefully, when I look back and revisit this post in weeks, months, years to come, I will wonder what all the fuss is about, and just enjoy this great track.
But in this green and pleasant land,
Where I make my home, I make my stand
Make it cool just to be a man,
A uniform’s a traitor.
Love is international
And if you stand or if you fall,
Just let them know you gave your all,
Worry about it later.
