Un'altra canzone contro la "Lady di Ferro", Margaret Thatcher.
Dall'album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" del 1990 (pensa un po', lo stesso del tormentone "Nothing Compares 2 U" scritto per Sinead da Prince...)
sidni


Dedicata a Colin Roach, ragazzo nero inglese ucciso dalla polizia della Thatcher nel 1983 e anche a Nicholas Bramble, ucciso nel 1989 in circostanze simili.
Margareth Thatcher on TV
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
It seems strange that she should be offended
The same orders are given by her

I've said this before now
You said I was childish and you'll say it now
"Remember what I told you
If they hated me they will hate you"

England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
Any such thing as grieving

Young mother down at Smithfield
5 am, looking for food for her kids
In her arms she holds three cold babies
And the first word that they learned was "please"

These are dangerous days
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
"Remember what I told you
If you were all they weren't they would loath you"

England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
Any such thing as grieving.
