Not sure of the title for this one: All For One but I suppose it sums it up.
This song came from being in a part of Liverpool that was like a warzone and meeting some decent people who were scared and scarred by life. Poverty’s not only relative it’s real. If a certain few are getting incredibly rich, it’s because they have access to money that might otherwise go toward the common good. Ok, I’m an old school lefty, but it strikes me as mad that people have to pay for higher education; public transport is so unstable and expensive that without a car there’s little point in leaving your immediate enviroment and looking at an horizon; social clubs are dying and it’s sad, they were (and in the odd case still are) are a self policing place were generations/neighbours met and got to communicate. It just seems like the world is one big con about money.
So of course I’ve put it all right in a little 3 minute pop song.
