0:01:21 > 0:01:25# Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news
0:01:27 > 0:01:31# The King sits on his face but it's all assumed
0:01:33 > 0:01:36# All wrapped up the same
0:01:36 > 0:01:38# All wrapped up the same
0:01:38 > 0:01:44# They can't have it, you can't have it, I can't have it too
0:01:44 > 0:01:48# Until I learn to accept my reward
0:02:00 > 0:02:04# Prisoners stand in queues and stand accused
0:02:05 > 0:02:09# Live in solitude like Howard Hughes
0:02:12 > 0:02:14# All wrapped up the same
0:02:14 > 0:02:17# All wrapped up the same
0:02:17 > 0:02:22# Silence has it, arrogance has it, I can't have it, oooh,
0:02:22 > 0:02:27# Until I learn to accept my reward
0:02:41 > 0:02:45# Suddenly it struck me very clear
0:02:47 > 0:02:51# Suddenly it struck me very clean
0:02:53 > 0:02:56# They're all wrapped up the same
0:02:56 > 0:02:59# All wrapped up the same

0:03:39 > 0:03:43# I learn to accept my reward. #
0:03:45 > 0:03:52Before the next programme, I'll just fill you in on what's happening over the next few weeks.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57I'm having a small sherry party on Wednesday. That should be nice.
0:03:57 > 0:04:03Laura Ashley curtains are arriving on the 15th. Blue regency stripe.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And at the end of the month I'm being fired.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09This is what's coming up for YOU.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Here's another piece of escapist light entertainment: "Shipbuilding".
0:04:31 > 0:04:34# Is it worth it?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41# A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
0:04:43 > 0:04:47# And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
0:04:47 > 0:04:52# It's just a rumour that was spread around town
0:04:52 > 0:04:55# By the women and children
0:04:55 > 0:04:59# Soon we'll be shipbuilding
0:05:02 > 0:05:05# Well, I ask you
0:05:06 > 0:05:12# The boy said, Dad, they're going to take me to task
0:05:14 > 0:05:18# But I'll be back by Christmas
0:05:18 > 0:05:22# It's just a rumour that was spread around town
0:05:22 > 0:05:27# Somebody said that someone got filled in
0:05:27 > 0:05:32# For saying that people get killed in
0:05:32 > 0:05:37# The result of the shipbuilding
0:05:39 > 0:05:44# With all the will in the world
0:05:44 > 0:05:47# Diving for dear life
0:05:47 > 0:05:55# When we could be diving for pearls
0:06:09 > 0:06:14# It's just a rumour that was spread around town
0:06:14 > 0:06:19# A telegram or a picture postcard
0:06:19 > 0:06:24# Within weeks they'll be reopening the shipyard
0:06:24 > 0:06:28# And notifying the next of kin
0:06:28 > 0:06:31# Once again
0:06:31 > 0:06:35# It's all we're skilled in
0:06:35 > 0:06:42# We will be shipbuilding
0:06:44 > 0:06:49# With all the will in the world
0:06:49 > 0:06:52# Diving for dear life
0:06:52 > 0:07:00# When we could be diving for pearls. #
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- It worked on 9 levels.- I spotted 12.
0:07:05 > 0:07:11Well... 12 if you include the, er... Let's be condescending about this!
0:07:11 > 0:07:17It worked as a simple satire on modern Britain and as a metaphor for redemption.
0:07:17 > 0:07:25- The underlying theme?- As when one sleeps with a stranger - I was nervous and it was a disappointment.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54# From the mountain tops down to the sunny street
0:07:54 > 0:07:58# A different drum is playing a different kind of beat
0:07:58 > 0:08:02# It's like a mystery that never ends
0:08:02 > 0:08:06# I see you crying and I want to kill your friends
0:08:06 > 0:08:10# I hear your footsteps in the street. Won't be long before we meet
0:08:11 > 0:08:14# It's obvious
0:08:14 > 0:08:19# Just count me in, count me out I'll be waiting for the shout
0:08:20 > 0:08:24# Oblivious
0:08:24 > 0:08:28# Met Mo and she's OK Said no-one really changed
0:08:28 > 0:08:32# Got different badges but they wear them just the same
0:08:32 > 0:08:34# Down by the ballroom
0:08:34 > 0:08:40# I recognise that flaming fountain in those kindred caring eyes
0:08:40 > 0:08:45# I hear your footsteps in the street. Won't be long before we meet
0:08:46 > 0:08:48# It's obvious
0:08:48 > 0:08:51# Just count me in, count me out
0:08:51 > 0:08:54# I'll be waiting for the shout
0:08:54 > 0:08:58# Oblivious
0:08:59 > 0:09:02# I hope it haunts me till I'm hopeless
0:09:02 > 0:09:06# And I hope it hits you when you go
0:09:06 > 0:09:11# And sometimes on the edge of sleeping
0:09:11 > 0:09:16# It rises up to let me know It's not so deep I'm not so slow
0:09:31 > 0:09:35# They're calling all the shots They'll call and say they phoned
0:09:35 > 0:09:39# They'll call us lonely when we're really just alone
0:09:39 > 0:09:43# And like a funny film it's kinda cute
0:09:43 > 0:09:47# They bought the bullets and there's no-one left to shoot
0:09:47 > 0:09:52# I hear your footsteps in the street. Won't be long before we meet
0:09:53 > 0:09:55# It's obvious
0:09:55 > 0:10:00# Just count me in, count me out I'll be waiting for the shout
0:10:00 > 0:10:03# Oblivious
0:10:03 > 0:10:08# I hear your footsteps in the street. Won't be long before me meet
0:10:09 > 0:10:11# It's obvious
0:10:11 > 0:10:15# Just count me in, count me out I'll be waiting for the shout
0:10:17 > 0:10:20# Oblivious. #
0:10:24 > 0:10:29My name is Billy Bragg. I am the Milkman Of Human Kindness.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46# If you're lonely
0:10:47 > 0:10:50# I will call
0:10:50 > 0:10:53# If you're poorly
0:10:54 > 0:10:56# I will send poetry
0:10:59 > 0:11:03# I love you
0:11:03 > 0:11:07# I am the milkman of human kindness
0:11:07 > 0:11:12# I will leave an extra pint
0:11:27 > 0:11:29# If you're sleeping
0:11:30 > 0:11:32# I will wait
0:11:32 > 0:11:35# If your bed is wet
0:11:35 > 0:11:39# I will dry your tears
0:11:42 > 0:11:45# I love you
0:11:45 > 0:11:49# I am the milkman of human kindness
0:11:49 > 0:11:54# I will leave an extra pint
0:11:56 > 0:11:58# Hold my hand for me
0:11:58 > 0:12:02# I'm waking up
0:12:02 > 0:12:04# Hold my hand for me
0:12:04 > 0:12:08# I'm waking up
0:12:08 > 0:12:10# Won't you hold my hand?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14# I'm making up
0:12:14 > 0:12:17# Hold my hand for me
0:12:17 > 0:12:26# I'm making up
0:12:37 > 0:12:40# If you're falling
0:12:40 > 0:12:44# I'll put out my hands
0:12:44 > 0:12:46# If you feel bitter
0:12:47 > 0:12:50# Understand
0:12:54 > 0:12:57# I love you
0:12:57 > 0:13:02# I am the milkman of human kindness
0:13:02 > 0:13:06# I will leave an extra pint. #
0:13:19 > 0:13:24I haven't time to put on a lot of make-up,
0:13:24 > 0:13:29but whoever I face in the morning, I won't want to look too awful.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34But enough of me. With spring coming we'll be exposing our bodies more.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Here's an idea for summer make-up.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05# On the buses some just stare On the buses some pretend to learn
0:14:08 > 0:14:10# Where's the lay of the land
0:14:10 > 0:14:13# My son?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24# Where's the lay of the land, my son?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27# What's the lay of the land, my son?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43# Saw the last Briton on the street
0:14:43 > 0:14:45# He said the radio fuzz was dead, effete
0:14:45 > 0:14:50# No longer reflects our daft fate
0:14:52 > 0:14:56# I wanna leave this city hit a quick coach
0:14:56 > 0:15:00# Pick a town in Surrey. There's nothing here but crooks and death
0:15:00 > 0:15:04# And kerb crawlers of the worst order
0:15:14 > 0:15:18# Where's the lay of the land, my son? Where's the lay of the land, my son?
0:15:27 > 0:15:32# Eldritch house with green moss
0:15:32 > 0:15:36# Sound of ordinary on the waves
0:15:36 > 0:15:40# Tiles drip from its roof
0:15:40 > 0:15:46# The Home Secretary has a weird look. #
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Hello, hello, hello, hello!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56LAUGHTER
0:16:00 > 0:16:06This is the Outer Hebrides Broadcasting Corporation calling civilisation.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10More nonsense in a minute, but first it's time for...
0:16:10 > 0:16:12One, two, three...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28# Last night as I slept I dreamed I met with Behan
0:16:28 > 0:16:32# I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day
0:16:32 > 0:16:38# When questioned on his views on the crux of life's philosophies he had these simple words to say:
0:16:38 > 0:16:41# I am going, I am going
0:16:41 > 0:16:45# Any which way the wind may be blowing
0:16:45 > 0:16:48# I am going, I am going
0:16:48 > 0:16:52# Where streams of whiskey are flowing
0:16:52 > 0:16:55# I have cursed, bled and sworn, jumped bail and landed up in jail
0:16:55 > 0:16:58# Life has often tried to stretch me but the rope always was slack
0:16:58 > 0:17:02# And now that I've a pile I'll go down to the Chelsea
0:17:02 > 0:17:05# I'll walk in on my feet but I'll leave on my back
0:17:05 > 0:17:08# I am going, I am going
0:17:08 > 0:17:12# Any which way the wind may be blowing
0:17:12 > 0:17:15# I am going, I am going
0:17:15 > 0:17:18# Where streams of whiskey are flowing
0:17:31 > 0:17:35# His words seemed the wisest of philosophies
0:17:35 > 0:17:38# There's nothing to be gained by a wet thing called a tear
0:17:38 > 0:17:42# When the world is too dark and I need the light inside of me
0:17:42 > 0:17:45# I'll go to a bar and drink 15 pints of beer
0:17:45 > 0:17:48# I am going, I am going
0:17:48 > 0:17:51# Any which way the wind may be blowing
0:17:51 > 0:17:55# I am going, I am going
0:17:55 > 0:17:58# Where streams of whiskey are flowing
0:17:58 > 0:18:01# I am going, I am going
0:18:01 > 0:18:05# Any which way the wind may be flowing
0:18:05 > 0:18:08# I am going, I am going
0:18:08 > 0:18:11# Where streams of whiskey are flowing
0:18:11 > 0:18:15# Where streams of whiskey are flowing
0:18:15 > 0:18:19# Where the streams of whiskey are flowing. #
0:18:34 > 0:18:41A lot of people would like a new system in this country and the western world.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45I've got a good opportunity to express my feelings,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47and that's what I do.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Like I said, if I was an author,
0:18:49 > 0:18:54I wouldn't get questioned about whether politics should be in music.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57It's only because I'm in pop music
0:18:57 > 0:19:03that people say pop should be about frivolity and the joys of life.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06You can only write about what you see.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10# You don't have to take this crap
0:19:10 > 0:19:13# You don't have to sit back and relax
0:19:13 > 0:19:18- #- You can actually try changing it
0:19:18 > 0:19:22# I know we've always been taught to rely
0:19:22 > 0:19:25# Upon those in authority
0:19:25 > 0:19:28# But you never know till you try
0:19:28 > 0:19:31# How things just might be
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- #- If we came together so strongly, yeah
0:19:36 > 0:19:39# Are you gonna try to make this work
0:19:39 > 0:19:42# Or spend your days down in the dirt?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45# You see, things can change Walls can come tumbling down
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- #- Governments crack and systems fall
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- #- Cos unity is powerful
0:19:52 > 0:19:55# Lights go out Walls come tumbling down
0:19:55 > 0:19:59# Yes, they do Yes, they do
0:20:01 > 0:20:04# The competition is a colour TV
0:20:04 > 0:20:07# We're on a pause with the video machine
0:20:07 > 0:20:12- #- That keeps you slaves to the HP, yeah
0:20:12 > 0:20:15# Until the unity is threatened by
0:20:15 > 0:20:19# Those who have and who have not
0:20:19 > 0:20:22# Those who are with and those who are without
0:20:22 > 0:20:25# And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot
0:20:25 > 0:20:30- #- Until you don't know where you are
0:20:30 > 0:20:33# Are you gonna get to realise
0:20:33 > 0:20:36# The class war's real not mythologised?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39# And like Jericho walls can come tumbling down
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- #- Governments crack and systems fall
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- #- Cos unity is powerful
0:20:45 > 0:20:49# Lights go out Walls come tumbling
0:20:49 > 0:20:50- #- Down
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- # Too late to fight it - Down
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- # Let us be united - Down
0:20:56 > 0:20:58# We're united
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- #- Ooo-ooo-oooh
0:21:04 > 0:21:07# Are you gonna be threatened by
0:21:07 > 0:21:10# The public enemy's number ten?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13# Those who play the power game
0:21:13 > 0:21:17# They take the profit, you take the blame
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- #- When they tell you there's no rise in pay
0:21:22 > 0:21:25# Are you gonna try to make this work
0:21:25 > 0:21:27# Or spend your days down in the dirt?
0:21:27 > 0:21:31# You see, things can change Walls can come tumbling down
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- #- Governments crack and systems fall
