Lyrical and striking political folk music from the UK.
I'm Al and I play the guitar and sing some songs about things that I want to sing songs about. It's a folky style, but I like to think there's a punk-ass edge to it. There's more stuff about me at my main website - www.albaker.co.uk and my MySpace at www.myspace.com/albaker . This is the place where I put all my songs up for free download. Thanks for checking me out.

Lyrics
It’s been a long night My nights get longer every day And I don’t feel right My head was never meant to think this way It gets harder to read And watch TV When you learn not to believe Anything you see I’m lying in my duvet Thinking about all the things you said And I want to change the world But I just don’t feel like getting out of bed Won’t somebody please Stay a while and sit with me Anyone at all Sing to me until the fences fall Don’t put your clothes on just yet Stay and see if I can make you smile. I’m pretty sure my comrades Will hold the barricades without me for a while How about we do the washing up? It’s what I’ve been dreaming of Standing at the sink with me seems to be The better part of love All those times you asked me Which side of the commons was I on Don’t let the daylight fool you It really is a long way to the dawn Chorus If you please (etc) All that stuff I learned in school Kept my mind as blank as it could be Taught to be a fool A minister, a man and an MP Teacher tell me more about the spanish civil war And rosa Luxemburg And tell me who’s this man called che Guevara On my pencil case and t shirt. I want something different And I know that I am not the only one And though I’ve never pulled a trigger One day I will hold the smoking gun. Chorus
