I could hardly believe my ears when this Subhumans track started playing in the Blue Blazer the other day. The rest of the playlist had been Elton, Queen etc.
I was quite into anarcho as a teen and I own this album, but there is just something about the opening line that I don’t like. I’ve no idea if Dick Lucas’ mum really did die of cancer when he was five (he never mentions it in interviews), but I think it would be pretty low to sing that if not true.
See also the line “They say I wouldn’t have to live from bins” in So What by Crass.
