Idag gör jag det jag tänkte göra förra fredagen och bjuder på en NY sång av Billy Bragg. Det blir Sing their souls back home från skivan Mr. Love & Justice (2008).
Texten är som följer:
We sing our songs of freedom
And we sing our songs of peace
We sing about sweet harmony
For to make the fighting cease
Let's sing one song for the folks tonight
That are sleeping on the streets
Come on and sing their souls back home
Oh, oh, won't you sing along with me?
Come on, oh, oh, raise your voice with me
And let them know that we want 'em back home
From wherever they may be
Come on and sing their sould back home
The wind blew and the birds, they flew
And scattered everybody wide
Gathered up their loved ones
They were running from the tide
Now if we don't get these people back
Well, I fear that this town will die
Come on and sing their souls back home
Oh Lord, it's hard, don't you know
To be living in days like these
Terror and war do nothing
But shatter families
So let's reach out with all our hearts
For our soldiers overseas
Come on and sing their souls back home
Bring 'em home now
Oh, oh, won't you sing along with me?
Come on, oh, oh, raise your voices now with me
And let them know that we want 'em back home
From wherever they may be
Come on and sing their souls back home
Oh, oh, won't you sing along with me?
Come on, oh, oh, raise your voices now with me
And let them know that we want 'em back home
From wherever they may be
Come on and sing their souls back home
Här i soloversion (Mr Love & Justice har getts ut som dubbel-CD, där de båda skivorna innehåller samma låtar, men på den ena med hela bandet, och på den andra med Billy Bragg solo och på enbart gitarr).
