about

The samples in this song and the title of the song itself is taken from the Alan Bleasdale TV series 'Boys From the Blackstuff'. If you haven't seen it, track it down. It's brilliant, and bleak, much like actually growing up in the 80s. That's what this song is about. Hatton, Kinnock, Thatcher, the unions, the docks, Militant. I was only young, but I remember it well.
Matthew Smith sings lead vocals on this. He also plays in the band Hot Club de Paris.
