eindhovendee Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Haunting anti-war song. Butcher’s Tale (Western Front 1914) The Zombies A Butcher yes that was my trade But the King's shilling is now my fee A butcher I may as well have stayed For the slaughter that I see And the preacher in his pulpit Sermon, "Go and fight. Do what is right" But he don't have to hear those guns And I bet he sleeps at night And I Andi, can't stop shaking My hands won't stop shaqking My arms won't stop shaking My mind won't stop shaking I want to go home, Please let me go home, Go home And I have seen a friend of mine, Hang on a wire like some rag toy And in the heat the flies come down And cover up the boy And the flies come down in Gommecourt, Thiepval, Mametz Wood, and French Verdun If the preacher he could see those flies Wouldn't preach for the sound of guns And I And I can't stop shaking My hands won't stop shaking My arms won't stop shaking My mind won't stop shaking I want to go home Please let me go home Go home Songwriters: C.

BFTD Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 As many on here will remember, music from the Sixties had a big retro resurgence in the Eighties, and I loved it. Had quite a few tape compilations, and I thought it all pissed all over the stuff that was in the charts at the time. There seems to be a twenty-year sliding window between music being popular and making a comeback, but you only hear the good stuff the second time around - I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the Eighties and Nineties revivals, considering how much antipathy I had towards the charts at the time. Anyway, Status Quo released their good song in the Sixties. Content warning; video may contain traces of Savile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 First time I heard this was late at night on my old transistor radio and it would have been a pirate radio station, probably Radio Caroline unless it was one of those rare occasions when I could pick up Radio London’s signal. Hard to imagine nowadays that we had to rely on pirate radio or Radio Luxembourg pre Radio 1 as BBC Light didn’t have much in the way of “pop” music although Saturday Club with Brian Matthews was one I always tried to listen to. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I had a big 60's phase as a teenager. Initially I loved the psychedelic era. Sgt Pepper, Smile bootlegs, Notorious Byrd Brothers and Odessey and Oracle were all big favourites. I must have watched Head by The Monkees a hundred times. This was and still is a big favourite of mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The 60s were shite. There was even more guff around than any other modern era. Most stuff worth listening to wasn't in the mainstream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 A lot of good stuff all through the 60s, but this album for me, (the biggest selling album of the 60s) really changed everything in that decade - and not just the music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pished-at-Butlins nightmare is at number three. We were invited to one of those 60s weekends at a Butlins somewhere really bleak. It was my idea of Hell. Locked in, essentially, a prison with 18 hours a day of the surviving members of Herman's Hermits and Freddie and the Dreamers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
