Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Richard Bridge Date: 21 Oct 09 - 10:28 PM From the FaF fakebook group: - "At concerts on in Belgium last weekend, Coope Boyes and Simpson told audiences about Folk Against Fascism in their introduction to Jim Boyes' anti-fascist song, "Under a Stone"." I don't know the song but if its CBS it's probably good! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: GUEST,Jean Morrison Date: 22 Oct 09 - 05:59 AM A group called "Roger the Chorister" made two. I wasn't very impressed with the vocals. Both songs seemed more pro Bnp than anti. Jean |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: theleveller Date: 22 Oct 09 - 06:01 AM Well, here's a song I wrote after the BNP won their EU seat in Hull & East Riding. It struck me as ironic that Hull should be the birthplace of William Wilberforce who worked so hard to end the slave trade. It's aimed at my fellow voters in East Yorks. Sorry I haven't recorded it yet so can't give you the tune - feel free to add one if you wish. The Legacy In Hull, William Wilberforce first struck the spark That kindled a beacon which lit up the dark And as the flames soared it was clear to see: The message that men must be equal and free. Chorus: So keep it alive, now, keep it alive, William's legacy has to survive. Freedom's hard-won so don't let it die Use your voices and votes to stamp out the lies. Today there are those who would put out Will's flame And put our traditions and values to shame. If you're black or you're brown, or a leftie, or gay, Get out of our country, you're not welcome, they say. Chorus Now they don't have shaved heads, they wear collars and ties But the cold light of hatred still shines in their eyes And instead of the boot they use soft words and smile But the message they peddle is equally vile. Chorus They may think their views have legitimacy And the Queen may invite them to join her for tea But let's stand together and blow on Will's flame And shout to these bastards: "Not in my name!" Chorus So good people of Hull and the East Riding towns Don't let these bigots and fascists gain ground. We've opened the door to their doctrine of hate Now let's slam it again before it's too late. Chorus |

Whatver We can see through you Silly girl with delusions of grandeur Daddy's looking after you And the music we are forced to endure. You talk of politics that you know not about What more, what less, risque dress Flaunting with your boobies out. You don't know what you're talking about Let's get the truth out You's like to pick your a flower You know political powers Let me delight for just pond life. A lily is just pond life - Yes! A lily is just pond life A lolly - pond, pond, pond, more pond hahaaha, one of those pond love, pond life, pond life, pond life Pond live, a pond life, more pond life. The sapling ears totaly look up to you The tricking in trucks the all night clubs You'll not want to mess up my shooes You don't know what you're talking about Lets get the Truth out. You like to think of yourself as a flower. Dutiful polical power But lets be right For just one light You don't know what you're talking about Let's get the truth out. You like to think yourself as a flower You know political power Let me delight for just what right Oh lets be right For a just life. A lily is just pond life Yes!

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: GUEST,Young Buchan Date: 22 Oct 09 - 08:52 AM Given their obsession with English superiority, they should be really annoyed by Deutschland Deutschland Uber Alles. It's just that a little bit of me thinks they WOULDN'T be. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: mandotim Date: 22 Oct 09 - 09:01 AM My Grandfather Tommy organised a group of like-minded people to throw Oswald Mosely and the Blackshirts out of Oldham in the 1930s. When the BNP and the National Front began stirring up trouble in Oldham, my Dad commented 'this has happened before you know', and told me the story. I wrote these lyrics, and a rudimentary tune, but a better tune is needed and I haven't got around to it yet. Lyrics; In the year of 36 the Blackshirts came to town C G A7 D7 With banners flying in Tommyfield, the people gathered round C G C G Mosely stood and thundered his words of fear and hate D7 G And how his National Socialists would keep our country great Verse 2 Standing in the crowd that day Big Tom was lost in thought Harkenin' to messages his heart would not be taught He heard the crowd responding, heard the angry hum Deep inside a voice told him summat must be done Chorus C G C G And Tommy went to find his mates, and found a score or more C G A7 D7 Decent men and honest men, men both rich and poor C G C G Bricklayers and navvies, even servants of the Crown D7 Men who threw the Blackshirts out of Oldham town Verse 3 The Blackshirts were marching, cheered on by the crowd Singing as they strutted, each man strong and proud Turning into West Street, they came face to face With twenty six good Oldham lads, now who's the master race? Chorus The battle soon was over, the master race were shamed With only cuts and bruises, Oldham was reclaimed No more flags in Tommyfield, no more marching up and down Thanks to t'men who threw the Blackshirts out of Oldham town Last Chorus And where are Tommy and his mates, we need ten thousand more Decent men and women, drawn from rich and poor People who will stand up tall, and vote the racists down And never let the Blackshirts come back to Oldham town |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 22 Oct 09 - 09:49 AM Black and White is a nice racial harmony song by Roberts and Robinson. The Spinners memorably used to do it.thread.cfm?threadid=51897#792372 BNP are strongly anti Iraq and Afghanistan wars, so you could do some jingoistic pro war stuff too. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Fred McCormick Date: 22 Oct 09 - 10:06 AM Keith A. "BNP are strongly anti Iraq and Afghanistan wars, so you could do some jingoistic pro war stuff too." The BNP have been fighting a high profile campaign under the slogan "The Battle For Britain". They are not pacifists and they doubtless sing a lot more jingoistic pro war songs than I would ever care to hear. Ask yourself why they are opposed to war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Could it be that in their desire to purge the world of Semitism and Zionism, they're hoping Al Quaeda or Iran or Afghanistan might blow the state of Israel off the planet and save them having to do the job? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Crow Sister (off with the fairies) Date: 22 Oct 09 - 01:43 PM "My respect for Lily Allen has just gone sky high." FYVMuch is one of those god-awfully catchy tunes too - a really jolly protest song if ever there was one. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Richard Bridge Date: 22 Oct 09 - 07:01 PM Hello Guest Jean. Another suspect person. Of the members of Roger the Chorister, one is dead, one is a member of UAF, one is a crippled ex member of Special Boat squadron but I still suggest not annoying him, and the other is me (unless there was another Roger the Chorister). We only ever played three self-penned songs (and indeed that was after we were down to a duo, the dead one and me) one about the plans for Cliffe Airport, one about the Licensing Bill (since an Act) and one about rights of way - which I still do. None were ever recorded although the rights of way one was broadcast live on Radio Medway. So we'll take that as a bit of BNP byplay shall we? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: jeddy Date: 22 Oct 09 - 07:38 PM how did the singaround go tug? did you use any of the songs recommended here? i hope a great night was had by all take care all jade x x x x |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Tug the Cox Date: 22 Oct 09 - 08:39 PM Thanks for all the ideas.... enough for an FAF benefit here! Anyone up for organising it? Jade, must fess up. Only started this thread cos I was a bit cross that Joe closed my BNP on question time thtread. 'Only one thread', I said mischievously....I'll see about that. The ugly gargoyle complained.....but Joe himself said that this second thread was Ok as it asked for tunes. How glad I am that I was a naughty non-conformist. Some great stuff has come to light, and more in PM's which I hope senders will eventually put into the public domain. Its an ill wind....... ( though sorry, Joe, I do really appreciate your moderating...and you did re-open my thread just after!). There was a music night....so only a white ( erm multicultural)lie! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: GUEST,Red Claire Date: 23 Oct 09 - 06:51 AM This song was beginning to get popular play It is a nostalgic reflection - thank you. Sung by the Irish band "Red Claire" Words by Colin Auty (Dewsbury East) SAVILE TOWN - WHERE IS IT GONE? Ali shops on the corner, And there are Mosques all over town. 24 hours a day kebab house, Asian taxis run by Crown. This little piece of England, Green and often pleasant land, why the hell am I complaining, And why don't I understand. Chorus: And I say. Where is the chapel, where my grandma used to pray? Where is the alehouse, where my father drank each day? Where is the butchers shop, our mam would buy her pork? Where have all the white folks gone, who used to stop and talk? The bookies halfway down our street, Are long since gone as well. And Dr Watson ís been replaced, By a man they call Patel. It ís curried rice and foreign dips, No British fish & chips. And the languages that we hear all day, Come from foreign lips. Repeat Chorus. The bowling green and veterans club, Are now a ghostly past. It ís mainly used for cricket now, Bangladesh were batting last. If it ís drugs you lack, you'll find your smack, And the dealer promises more, If next time youíll pass, you'll bring a lass, Of 12 and not much more. Repeat Chorus. BNP, Savile Town, Colin Auty, song lyrics |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Brian Peters Date: 23 Oct 09 - 07:06 AM Was that heavy irony, mischief-making, or did someone not read the thread title? "It ís curried rice and foreign dips, No British fish & chips." In my home town - a typcial small town in the North of England - we have curries, kebabs, Chinese cuisine, Thai, Italian, AND good old fish and chips. What a great range of choices! And how dare those awful Bangladeshis play CRICKET?! It's just not... er.... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Stower Date: 23 Oct 09 - 07:28 AM Know your history. Fish and chips did not originate in Britain any more than curry did. My appetite's half English, and I'm half English, too. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: GUEST,Fred Claire Date: 23 Oct 09 - 08:40 AM I think after last night's showing the football fan's version of Go West may be appropriate...all together now "You're shit, and you know you are..." Oh, and Red...it doesn't scan and is grammatically inaccurate. And shite Fred |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: greg stephens Date: 23 Oct 09 - 11:56 AM REd Claire: how vey rewarding to see someone posting such well-thought out and intelligent lyrics on our little community's site. I am sure we will all be singing them down at our quaint black-and-white half-timbered puvves at our next jolly singaround. Until then, go forth and mulitiply. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: GUEST,Mark Stevens Date: 23 Oct 09 - 05:56 PM Red Claire, That was quite a catchy pop folk song. What's happened to Colin Auty these days, is he still writing ? Hey-diddle-dis, Mark ye Morris. x |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: GUEST,Georgina Boyes Date: 23 Oct 09 - 06:47 PM Colin Auty's amateurish strumming used to feature on the BNP website, but seems far less prominent now. Has there been a falling out amongst the white brotherhood? |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 23 Oct 09 - 11:13 PM What DID happen to Colin's "Lily Pond" lyrics???
They were posted here...on MUDCAT
There are comments that refer to the removed lyrics...within THIS thread....what ether did those lyrics disappear into????
FAF stormed the BBC...within the last 36 hours...to prevent the "exchange of ideas" in the free-market of public opinion.
Over the past 10 months...it has become apparent that "Facism" as defined by "Brits" (racism) and "Facism" as defined by Americans (govt. take over of business)is clearly different. "Copyright" and "freedom of speech" are also clearly different.
I hope that "The Mudcat" will continue to be forum dedicated to "free speech"...since it has risen beyound the limited domains of "Blues and American Folk."
Sincerely,
Accchhhhkkkk....I know.....they were removed....(by a moderator in America??? a country founded on "Free Speech" and an "Example to the World) |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: theleveller Date: 24 Oct 09 - 04:46 AM "What's happened to Colin Auty these days," Nothing pleasant, I hope. Not only is it a crap song but it bears absolutely no resemblance to reality. But then, the BNP have always lived in Cloud Cuckoo Land - which is what the title of the song should be. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: GUEST,Lox Date: 24 Oct 09 - 06:00 AM Yes indeed - the day the Nazi died would be the one I'd suggest. If only it hadn't already been suggested. I am happy to second the motion though. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: GUEST,matt milton Date: 24 Oct 09 - 06:17 AM "Round and Round Hitler's Grave" by the Almanac Singers (which is sung to the tune of Old Joe Clark) could, I'm sure, be retooled fairly easily to be of relevance. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Richard Bridge Date: 24 Oct 09 - 10:37 AM Anyone who thinks that "fascism" is the government takeover of business really needs to buy a dictionary, and then get someone else to read it to them. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Tug the Cox Date: 24 Oct 09 - 12:53 PM Crikey, two members of the BNP consecutively above, followed by the sadly misinformed gargoyle! |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Mr Fox Date: 24 Oct 09 - 06:41 PM Ghosts of Cable Street (The Men They Couldn't Hang) There is also a poem or song about the same event from around the time it actually happened, but I only know the last verse: We stood at Gardiner's Corner, we stood and watched the crowds, We stood at Gardiner's Corner, firm, solid, voices loud. Came the marching of the Blackshirts, came the pounding of their feet, Came the sound of ruffians marching where the five roads meet. We thought of so many refugees fleeing from the Fascist hordes, The maimed, the sick, the young, the old, those who had fought the Fascist lords. So we stopped there at Gardiner's, we fought and won our way. We fought the baton charges, no Fascist passed that day! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti BNP songs From: Tug the Cox Date: 24 Oct 09 - 06:51 PM No Passaran! Wonderful.....rings down the decades...wish Tony Benn ( he thought Griffin should be allowed a platform) had remembered this. |
