Superb band.loved seeing them live in the early days.Great track.should be played loud round England now the way this country is going
How's the country going exactly?
If I could have one wish it would be to go back to the 80’s!
I see comments below saying this is some kind of Loyalist song. It's deeply sarcastic and is about Thatcherism (taking off British Airways' slogan at the time).
Fly the flag brilliant song.
Beautiful bass lines and Jake Burns is a great guitarist, you don't really see his skills here but he's a brilliant guitarist!
Jake not Jack!
@@patrickfitzgerald409 oh shit, didnt even realise I wrote Jack.... my bad! 🤷♂️🎸
@@patrickfitzgerald409 are you THE Patrick Fitzgerald?
If you mean have I got a safety pin in my ❤ then no, not me. 😠
@@patrickfitzgerald409 ah, that's a shame...😉🎸
The singles off the album were good but this is the best track. Great band
Awesome.
Aguante stiff little fingers 🍻 Desde Argentina
This was first shown in December 1982, it was the first thing I ever recorded on our new video recorder :)
I remember recording it on VHS 📼 my grandad was giving it stick saying they need to spend a couple of years in the army . I just let him ramble on.
@@Boilingfrogg😂😂😂
@@coventrypunx1014 😄 them we're the days.
...my head just exploded.
Nice bit of stage somersaulting at 1:48.
Beauty!
Fucking awesome !!!!!!!
Great to see a clip of Henry and his wild style of guitar playing. Also strange to watch a clip of FTF without the wank at the end of the guitar break.
Cluneywas the very essence of the band.
Only thing missing is Jim on the kit, would of been perfect.
Boss alright doug it's your nephew. Up yours 😂
It 's such a shame that a lot of great music from the eighties sounded really subdued due to the shitty quality of video and audio tape technology.at the time..you could only appreciate the bands live.
FUCKIN' MAGIC
Dolphin Taylor 👌
great drummer
Been watching this band since 1977 live,still best ever live,ye now i am 60,job done,see so many kid's at the barra's every year 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Dolphin was a great drummer.
Soundtrack to me youth, what we would all give to go back eh lads.Still Blows my mind.
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧✊️✋️
Fly the flag xx suspect devise x
On their last leg here, you can tell Jake was burned out here, Alie possibly as well.
Really! But just watch Henry as per usual the back bone of SLF along with dolphin✌🏻
@@mikebarrett8330 they sounded great, but you can tell it was burning out.
Die Zeit der merkwürdigen Drumkits!!! Horrible...
Weren’t the same without jim Reilly
Agree. Dolphin a top drummer but Jim their best ever IMHO.
Loyal Ulster
nope
@@elzorro7of9 what do you know?
@@robsilvester3068 I think you missed the meaning of the lyrics
you need to understand irony, and sarcasm.
This is not what you think.
Quite the opposite
@@robsilvester3068 Gimme gimme gimme ..., I'm alright
Fly the flag
You don't need to know anything, but if you follow SLF, you will know this is in your face to right wing f.heads
Is this showing their support of the UK regime in Northern Ireland?
nope. sarcasm
we love our ulster
SLF saw themselves as Northern Irish, I agree it's sarcasm, one line...."Give me a nation that will be battle free, free to do and free to be". They were formed in the height of the troubles, and saw themselves as unique in the regard that they were non sectarian, and had no time for the regime and political rule that N.I was under at the time.. I rate them as a better punk band than the "pistols", Lyrics, music, bass, drums, lead guitar/rhythm guitar....brilliant live,
@@TJMcCarthy-ug4qy it's actually 'give me a nation where people are free'
An indictment of the stupidity.
Suspect device
loyal shankill road
Planters loyal to a country that doesnt give a shit about ye...The song is an attack on British nationalism.
@@bealfeirste2056 lol stupid lingo only talked by you funny how we still have our weeee place in the north
@@bealfeirste2056 havin a stupid lingo as a name lol stick with our language and we planters r still planting grow some balls and try to take it back
@@bealfeirste2056 i think the british gov paying out vast sums of welfare cash answers that question and we all know the pontiff is happy about these families who have kids that they cannot support
@@normansmith9151 keep the cash coming ,the price of occupying Ireland....Britain will pack up its belongings and go home.That day will come.
