I had no idea this was the same Billy Bragg that recorded with Wilco. This sounds more like Modern English. 8.

from those prone to accident but still willing -
".. And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
(either way, do not and i won't) go gentle into that good night.

Yep, and not because he's a musician, but because of all his social and political work over the years. An example is Jail Guitar Doors, a practical initiative to get prisoners making music, which he presented a benefit for in Nottingham. He's a very down to earth geezer who achieves much quietly, and is a good laugh too, and I'd happily share a pint or four with him. |

Arf! As it 'appens, our Billy's a Barking boy, hence the accent, narmean, John? Saw him at a Jail Guitar Doors benefit in Nottingham, and he's a great guy. Committed, down to earth, unshowy, and effective. I'd happily share a pint or four with him. |

 Billy Bragg-Hope Not Hate 4 by ~Shes-So-1970s

The wonderful Mr Billy Bragg played a short set for those of us who'd been out delivering Stop The BNP/Hope Not Hate newspapers that morning.
Bit of a morning after the night before scenario, having watched Billy leave the stage at The Picket at midnight the night before.
24 hours Bragg, I need nothing more 
"All the dreams we shared, I never knew noone who cared about these things the way that I've seen you. It doesn't matter if this all falls of the cliff, together we are gonna see it through. Because I keep faith, I keep faith in you, yes I do, I keep faith in you."
