爵士狗汪汪叫

認識比力不雷格，是因為國際歌，屏東的義仁牧師與老爸都是音樂迷（因為他們聽的實在很難說一定是什麼音樂，或者，他們的交集好像民謠多點？），偶爾會有那種南北會師交換唱片的小活動。傳說中，我這張比力不雷格的國際歌，便（據瞭）是義仁牧師從台南苦桑唱片行買入，交換到老爸手上，老爸從義仁牧師手上拿到再送給我，然後我才開始聽他的音樂和認識他。

無奈不雷格的唱片台灣並不多見，我雖是見一殺一，來到英國還是一二三就看到我沒有的。能買到不雷格的唱片，是英國難得的好處之一（另一個應該是一鎊能買到三顆完整的鮭魚頭吧）。日前看到幾張在台灣沒看過的二手貨，於是下手買下一張，聽後，決定來偷學人家，點播一首詩，畢竟，從來無法寫詩，看看人家不雷格。

播放I DON'T NEED THIS PRESSURE RON
　　　~words and music by BILLY BRAGG
Billy Bragg and Robert Handley: vocals

What was that bang? It was the next big thing
Exploding over our heads
And soon the next generation
Will emerge from behind the bike sheds
What are we going to offer them?
The exact same thing as before
But a different way to wear it
And the promise of a whole lot more

Oh, pity the pressures at the top,
The tantrums and the tears
And the sound of platinum cash tills
Ringing in their ears
Money maketh man a Tory
Don't fire that assumption at me
I like toast as much as anyone
But not for breakfast, dinner and tea

So don't saddle me with your ideals
And spare me all your guilt
For a poet with all the answers
Has never yet been built

I see no shame in putting my name
To socialism's cause
Nor seeking some more relevance
Than spotlight and applause

Neither in the name of conscience
Nor the name of charity
Money is put where mouths are
In the name of solidarity

We sing of freedom
And we speak of liberation
But such chances come
But once a generation
So I'll ignore what I am sure
Were the best of your intentions
You are judged by your actions
And not by your pretensions

There is drudgery in social change
And glory for the few
And if you don't tell me what not to say
I won't tell you what not to do
