One of the best songs ever written. Simple.
One of the greatest Songs ever written ❤love Uncle Billy.... Greetings from East Germany.
With the possible exception of the Neville Bros, seen Billy more than any other artist...the fact that he's old leaves me with one undeniable fact...I AM OLD AS FK.....love ya BILL
A great song by one of the realist artists of the last 40 years. The m,an has integrity.
He puts everytjing into it. You can feel the despair and hope.
wht da fuk, over 40 years recorded at a cassete tape with no name in middle of great songs I got when young , today reviving old tapes (not cds) just found this legend , one of a kind Billy 😵💫THX to the time tunnel moment...🤩
He's still gorgeous. Ageing like a fine wine
❤yeah the love his wife has is amazing it keeps him beautiful
The man is a LEG END of British music.
Lived with me for 30 years, possibly the finest ever written, thank you Billy
What a fuckin legend.
This is one of the coolest songs ever, class
Shame it was written by a woman hating piece of shit.
Best
Christ - I'd forgotten what a phenomenal song this is.
Oh that whole album is embedded DEEP in my brain. So glad to see him perform this song.
Man his guitar tone is perfect
No effects, just straight into the amp with a little overload a reverb.
Saw Billy Bragg play this at Birmingham NEC 08/12/22. He's such a cool dude without having the ego to know that fact. I love every version of this song by Billy. Such a great songwriter. Btw he wore the same jacket. I really want one like it.
I was there too. Brilliant.
Pretty sure i saw him maybe late 80's ? Downstairs bar at the Old Melbourne Hotel Perth WA? Below the Firm Nightclub?
But goddamn this is just as haunting and beautiful as ever.
The sound of this guitar is magical 😍
Custom made Telecaster, original was done on a gorgeous Burns Steer, he has great taste in guitars.
How can this only have 484 views?! Really nice!
You can find more songs by Billy on my YT channel. Check it out. By the way, I think Billy should tour with a band a lot more often. Violin and trumpet harmonize wonderfully with his voice.
the legend has still got it 👍
3k views how, billy brag the best story teller
Billy's a top British songwriter, performer, and cultural commentator - severely underrated
Just wow.
A thing of beauty.
I larnt to play the guitar from Talking to The Taxman about Poetry songbook. You know me Billy in a sense and I know you in an inspirationfrom the movements. Constant, Stable, Complete, Perfect for the cause and for the people we always love you Sir Billy Bragg. Like Zephi, Benjamin Zephaniah you are the people`s poet as old as a mountain and as powerful as a Volcano. Occupy! X
Brilliant live Song ! Deep lyrics ! Have seen Billy live class
Soo fortunate how cool is that
A W E S O M E
Mr. Bragg simply rules...
Just love this dude...
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Un real so much music and lyrical brilliance can come from one man and his guitar. Hasn't lost a beat
Seen him loads of times. Just brilliant 👏
Outstanding!
i miss the sound of his Burns guitar!
Is that what he used in the original ?, been trying to find out what it was, the Tele sounds ace though.
And the Roland Amp from the video!
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
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi stubbs' tears run down his face
She ran away from home with 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 that war takes away
And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi stubbs' tears run down his face
Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
Are here to make right everything that's wrong
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
Are here to make it all okay with you
And 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
And when the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi stubbs' tears
I didn't know Jerry Corbyn could play guitar!
You beat me to that comment!
Laughing at your own jokes just mean you got the best sense of humour!
No it don’t don’t sell that ticket man
i’m sorry but colin did this better
