@F.U.B.A.R.
An old Hippie from CND & was at The Battle of Beanfield turned me onto this a few weeks ago.
Can't believe you're posting Hawkwind related tunes, aahah
That's an old Inner City Unit tune iirc, (tune written and band fronted by og Hawkind member Nik Turner RIP...attended many parties at his place and also his funeral). I was also at the 'battle' you reference too, with some Brummies oddly enough, (was a massacre though, not a battle...although 'massacre of the beanfield doesn't have quite the same ring to it eh)
I thought I heard someone calling me
I've seen the pictures on TV
And I made up my mind that I'd go and see
With my own eyes
It didn't take too long to hitch a ride
With a guy going south to start a new life
Past the place where my friend died
Two years ago
Down the 303 at the end of the road
Flashing lights - exclusion zones
And it made me think it's not just the stones
That they're guarding, no
Hey hey, now, can't you see
There's nothing here that you could call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me
As the sun rose on the beanfield
They came like a wolf on the fold
And no they didn't give a warning
They took their bloody toll
I see a pregnant woman
Lying in blood of her own
I see her children crying
As the police tore apart their home
And no they didn't give a reason
It's what your votes condone
It seems they were committing treason
By trying to live on the road
And I said
Hey hey, now, can't you see
There's nothing here that you could call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me
Hey hey, now, can't you see
There's nothing here that you could call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me
