Bronski Beat

Bronski Beat were a popular British synthpop trio who achieved success in the mid 1980s, particularly with the 1984 chart hit "Smalltown Boy". All members of the group were openly gay and their songs reflected this, often containing political commentary on gay-related issues. At the height of their popularity the band consisted of singer Jimmy Somerville backed by Steve Bronski and Larry Steinbachek, both of whom played keyboards and percussion. Somerville went on to have success as lead singer of The Communards and as a solo artist. more »

This is Breadline Britain
This free and promised
Land
Where the rich don't give a damn
Poeple
Getting hungry and people getting poor
People getting
Destitute and more
This is Breadline Britain
Oh
You've got to understand
Where evil's in
Command
Where money buys onli pipedreams
And a
Worker's life is damned
Democracy and freedom are

A
Far off foreign land.
Where the sick don't
Stand a chance
Where fascism leads a new dance
Where
They'd privatise your mother
If given half a
Chance
This is Breadline Britain
You've got to make
A stand
Breadline, breadline, breadline
Britain
Breadline breadline, breadline Britain
This free
And promised land
