Jack Dawe Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 12 minutes ago, RedLionLad said: So, Skinhead: to start with, something fairly positive/enjoyable/legal/harmless, broadly speaking; before being hijacked/ infiltrated by angry white males who think it's all about them thus spoiling it for the majority and then driving it underground where a nasty subculture for "like-minded" sorts festers. And then later still, enjoying something of a renaissance of sorts, where middle-aged white males reminisce about the good old "glory days." Sound familiar?

freezer Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Blimey, that picture brings back some memories. Think I've got the album in the loft. I'll have to try and watch the programme now it's wetted my whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That programme sums up why FV was part of football culture.really well. Recommend the young uns who don’t understand watch it also as everything some of us have posted in this thread is in the programme. On a side note, I saw Pauline Black and The Selector, and if you get the chance go and watch them because they are excellent live still. She still has a fab voice live plus there music helped define the 80s for me! I loved my highly polished, cherry 10 hole DMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Soldier Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Forget the lead singer black guy’s name in The Specials but pretty sure he died young. They were superb! Thanks for posting BS4. Like the way they encourage the crowd to join them on the stage. Note the fashion styles! My favourite video on YouTube!

RedLionLad Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I'm going out tonight I don't know if I'll be alright Everyone want's to hurt me Baby danger in the city I have to carry a knife Because there's people threatening my life I can't dress just the way I want I'm being chased by the national front Concrete jungle, animals are after me Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets Concrete jungle, glad I got my mates with me I won't fight for a cause don't want to change the law Leave me alone, just leave me alone I want to get out on my own I'm walking home tonight I only walk where there's lots of lights In the alleys and the doorways Some throw a bottle right in your face Concrete jungle, animals are after me Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets Concrete jungle,… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Soldier Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 We should start an OTIB Old School music thread! Music defined football in the 80s! You only have to read RedLionLad’s lyrics from Concrete Jungle. Ghost Town was exactly the same. Inner city Britain was badly run down This town, is coming like a ghost town All the clubs have been closed down This place, is coming like a ghost town Bands won't play no more too much fighting on the dance floor Do you remember the good old days Before the ghost town? We danced and sang, And the music played inna de boomtown This town, is coming like a ghost town Why must the youth fight against themselves? Government leaving the youth on the shelf This place, is coming like a ghost town No job to be found in this country Can't go on no more The people getting angry This town, is coming like a ghost town This town, is coming like a ghost town This town, is coming like a ghost town This town, is coming like a ghost town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 This sums it up for me....... "Down In The Tube Station At Midnight" The distant echo - of faraway voices boarding faraway trains To take them home to the ones that they love and who love them forever The glazed, dirty steps - repeat my own and reflect my thoughts Cold and uninviting, partially naked Except for toffee wrapers and this morning's papers Mr. Jones got run down Headlines of death and sorrow - they tell of tomorrow Madmen on the rampage And I'm down in the tube station at midnight I fumble for change - and pull out the Queen Smiling, beguiling I put in the money and pull out a plum Behind me Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices Hating, waiting "Hey boy" they shout "have you got any money?" And I said "I've a little money and a take away curry, I'm on my way home to my wife. She'll be lining up the cutlery, You know she's expecting me Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork" And I'm down in the tube station at midnight I first felt a fist, and then a kick I could now smell their breath They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs And too many right wing meetings My life swam around me It took a look and drowned me in its own existence The smell of brown leather It blended in with the weather It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth It blocked all my senses Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer And I'm down in the tube station at midnight I said I was down in the tube station at midnight The last thing that I saw As I lay there on the floor Was "Jesus Saves" painted by an atheist nutter And a British Rail poster read "Have an Awayday - a cheap holiday - Do it today!" I glanced back on my life And thought about my wife 'Cause they took the keys - and she'll think it's me And I'm down in the tube station at midnight The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold I'm down in the tube station at midnight Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highridge reds Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Went to leeds i think in 72 when the miners were striking to watch the facup replay.When our coach turned into the ground it was attacked by a mob of savage leeds fans,but the driver managed to park up,thinking this was a rough place me and my mate decided to go in the stand for safety.We sat in the front of the stand with our city scarves on(big mistake) only to be attacked by aprox 50 leeds fans who were on the terracing below us.we kicked and punched numerous leeds fans as they tried to scale the wall up .to the stand.After we got the better of them we retreated to a bar in the leeds stand.Watched a great game and city won 1-0, got chased by what seemed hundreds of leeds fans back to the coach after the game,what an experience to watch a game of football.

Sixtyseconds Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Specials were Coventry. These WERE Bristol City. Down the town it's Friday night See a band get in a fight Flash of steel, end of fun Growing up has just begun More young blood, every night, ok Life down the drain More young blood, every night, ok Isn't it a shame More young blood, every night, ok Spilt in the streets More young blood, every night Down to football here we go Tried to find last years foe They live behind a different scarf So we fight them for a laugh More young blood, every night, ok Life down the drain More young blood, every night, ok Isn't it a shame Vice Squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut My Hair, 5:15, Pinball Wizard, Real Me, Going Underground, Eton Rifles, Down in the Tube Station at Midnight, Desdemona, Midsummer Night Scene Didn't live through it but always been obsessed with it. Even Pink Floyd were doing their best shit at that time, golden era really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Saw them all. The most Mayhem. The Clash biggest punch up. Souixsie and the banshees (Robert smith on guitar) best band The Jam best musicians. The Stranglers best visuals Orchestral Manouvers pre OMD biggest influence Joy Division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly almost all of it was brilliant. Can look back on it with their albums now but to have been able to see the Who in their pomp would've been amazing.
