Well Lou is dead but Punk can live on
and a meteor, number 14, DA
has taken out almost every satellite
from Barcelona, to Californ - (e) -i - a -. (so we'll need a new song to sing...)
reminding me of a travelling band
from Abe Lincoln's stellar brigade
who followed the sat navs of their conscience
before these days of brand lemonade
CHORUS: (oh viva la quince brigada// viva love, money, andy's babies and Lou ..// will be turning in his punked up place of rest and come the time, // i've no doubt so will I and so might you.)
They went to stand behind the 'spanish angels'
Christy and Seegers' international 5th brigade-
I wonder now if that young Derek Redmond
had a sense he was limping over graves (viva abe lincoln's battallion...)
of men and women fighting for a conscience
and others wondering who'd been
in 1936 in Barcelona
and running for the people's only team? (viva Rolando Alarcon...)
James Connelly, I'd have him throw a discuss
for the sake of all that dialogue can bring
I hope he might see now that there's nawt with more power
than something for which we can all sing (Viva Frank Ryan and Bob Hilliard...)
But '92 hailed a new perestroika
The gates fell in Moscow and Berlin
Global Capital will have it's shiny future
While Socialism licks it's wounded white skin. (viva Fox and Foley, Paton and all...)
But Derek Redmond's dad knew something better
In his own un-conceited global heart
and we forgot the day - the people's games stopped play:
It's not the winning but the fucking taking part. (and viva Derek Redmond's dad...)
(now it's said most Paddy's fought for Franco -
but I'm here in the studio by satellite link
with Derek's dad and an IRA spokesman
who both sound like they've been on the drink) (viva la people's olympics...)
