about

Forty years ago the UK experienced a revolution , we were told a new property owning democracy would create a new Jerusalem. 40 years later and we have a country split in two between those who are desperate to protect their stake in that revolution and those who live with the insecurity and instability of precarious employment, a housing crisis and an economy that relies on consumption that will ultimately lead to the destruction of our environment. We can change direction and there is hope but the future is in all of our hands.

lyrics

Forty Years

40 years in the making
Look what has become
40 years in the breaking
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
40 years in the making
We struggle to survive
40 years in the breaking
you ‘ll never leave this place alive

Jimmy ain’t no dreamer
He was a good hard working man
Oil and grease his stock in trade
and he always had a plan
He’d work and strive and scrimp and save
And one day he’d be gone
To live in peace down by the sea
In the shadow of the sun

But fate transpired to rob him
of everything he owned
The world is dark and twisted
Bad harvest for the good seeds you sowed
Almost worked himself into an early grave
and all his future plans were lost
SOS to save our souls
nothing left but to count the cost

His son is tired and homeless
Dirty down dead beat
Steals for drugs and money
Living out on the street
No future in the future
Man and boy the time has passed
On the road to hell and back
40 years ago the die was cast
