Bersham Fields / F&ck the North

from True Blue Songs Hosted by True Blue - Margaret Thatcher musical

The mournful and heartrending Bersham Fields which depicts the struggles of Britain's mining community gives way to the triumphant bouncy city of London number sung by a crowd of mad goblins called f&ck the north. "by a northern pithead wall I heard a young man call nothing matters but solidarity. The fields are quiet near Bersham where once the pitwheel spun." "where on earth are you from? you from? you from? Do you want to put some braces on?"

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
