Anti-Thatcher songs thread....

[DeadManWalking]

"Thatcher, Thatcher, the milk snatcher" Does that count?

 

[BadlyDrawnGirl]

Now here's a toughy, can anyone name a pro-Thatcher song?

Everything by Westlife - if not in name, then in principle.

 

[soulrebel]

any thatcher death cd has to include "The Wrong Thing" by the Congos...

released the year she came to power (iirc), the lyrics of the most transcendent bit of the song go:

Equality and justice stand for all
You know that Satan your queendom must fall

Fire, lightning
Thunder a go burn you
No matter where you hide
You can't hide from the wrong you have done...

and some lyrics about the church of england as well...

wonder if there'll be any good songs on the narnia soundtrack?

Manic Street Preachers - Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart -
contains a mockery to Thatcher.

Thats what the sleeve to my copy says, however it is credited as 'Wargasm' on t'interweb

Iirc (which I rarely do) it was originally featured on a (CND?) benefit album called wargasm, a compilation by the current crop of socially conscious punkers. I think I still have a vinyl copy somewhere, at least I did once. All songs about war and such like. Helped keep me awake as a child during the eighties, waiting for the sirens.

And to deftly steer back on topic, Roger Waters/Pink Floyd gashfest - The Final Cut.

 

[Wilf]

all the obvious ones said, but what was that Irish one that went:

Thank you Mrs Thatcher
Youre the Darlin of us All
The Pride of the Irish Nation
Fiana Gael and Fiana Fail
etc

??

...anti pasti...no government, with the immortal line, "No Maggie Thatcher and no government"...

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Pink Floyd

The Fletcher Memorial Home (and pretty much the whole album - as I notice, he edits, that badseed has already said above).

 

[nino_savatte]

...anti pasti...no government, with the immortal line, "No Maggie Thatcher and no government"...

I still have that on 7 inch vinyl. In fact those are the only words that I can actually make out on the single!

 

[silentNate]

When I was a PRoD last some dodgy looking geezer came up to me and gave me a blank CD...
'Pssst... 50 minutes of anti-Thatcher tunes', he whispered before disappearing off onto the dance floor...

I'd like to thank that Urbanite
