Brian Nicholson

Brian Gerald Nicholson (9 May 1933 – 20 January 2018) was a British trade unionist. Nicholson grew up in the East End of London, and worked as a docker. He joined the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU), and by 1968 was a member of the executive of its No.1 Docks Group. In this role, he was a vocal opponent of racism and fascism, speaking out in particular against the support of some dockers for Enoch Powell. This theme was prominent in his 1974 pamphlet, Racialism, Fascism and the Trade Unions. By 1972, Nicholson was a member of TGWU's executive, regarded as being on the left wing of the union, and a vice-chair of the Institute for Workers' Control.In 1975, Nicholson advocated industrial action against containerisation at Tilbury Docks.

Started off real slow
Per your demands
Felt like I was pushin' the envelope
If I tried to hold your hand

But things were goin' just fine
Yeah, we seemed to hit it off right
Then you told me something
That I didn't understand

Threw me through a loop
When you said we were always just friends
But girl you know my credit card
Doesn't know the difference

Give it back
I don't care how you do it
Deal with Father Time
I'm sure he'll talk you through it
One thing I can't take back
Time was stolen by you
It was all hi-jacked

Give it back
I don't care how you do it
Deal with Father Time
I'm sure he'll talk you through it
One thing I can't take back
Time was stolen by you
It was all hi-jacked

And I want it back

So put on some working gloves
'Cause you're gonna do some searchin'
Sift through the grains of the hourglass
Until you find me in there

Every stupid joke
Every time you made me nervous
Since it meant nothin' to you girl
I don't think you deserve them, no

Threw me through a loop
When you said we were always just friends
Well if that's the case
Then the bill should've been on two checks

Give it back
I don't care how you do it
Deal with Father Time
I'm sure he'll talk you through it
One thing I can't take back
Time was stolen by you
It was all hi-jacked

Give it back
I don't care how you do it
Deal with Father Time
I'm sure he'll talk you through it
One thing I can't take back
Time was stolen by you
It was all hi-jacked

And I was dumb enough
To let all this happen
But along the way
I learned some pretty valuable lessons
Never let flaky people dictate your happiness
Trust me my friend all of this
Was for the best

So give it back
Give it back

Give it back
I don't care how you do it
Deal with Father Time
I'm sure he'll talk you through it
One thing I can't take back
Time was stolen by you
It was all hi-jacked

Give it back
I don't care how you do it
Deal with Father Time
I'm sure he'll talk you through it
One thing I can't take back
Time was stolen by you
It was all hi-jacked

And I want it back
