about

This is a song of Noor’s that has been around for a while, but had never found the right musical vehicle or context. This all changed when Noor saw a photograph of Gazza taken in the mid-1970’s during his Thunderbox era and saw the fire of youth in Gazza’s eyes. The photograph inspired Noor to complete the song that charts the human journey from naïve youth who expects to change the world, through comfortable middle-of-the-road years, into the life-weary late adult, angry again at the injustices of the world around him.

lyrics

Angry Once Again

One day an angry young man wrote,
So naïve, but he let his feelings show,
Wrote of politics,
Global war,
The famine child,
Though that they’d stand tall,
Smash the walls,
Make it all worthwhile;
Yeah, yeah.

Then he’s striking out all on his own,
Got to make your way,
got to build a home of stone,
You walk the middle road,
Carrying your heavy load,
Work in your own time,
The system’s fine,
Let the good times roll;
Yeah, yeah.

But when he scratched below the surface of the world,
Found the apple was rotten to the core,
Thieving tax man’s hand,
The corporate plans,
Take your future away!
Crumbled NHS,
Pension scheme bereft,
Finance your own old age;
Yeah, yeah.
