Topic: Slow motion suicide

Heard  this  song  on the  radio  by  folk /punks Ferocious Dog and  had  to  cover  it .Listen to  the  lyrics ,If  you  want  a  transcript   PM me so  we  don't  contravene copyright .This  is  a  song  about  the UK   miners  in the  80s but  it  has  parallels  today with   the  uk  steel  crisis .
Hope  you like  it

Re: Slow motion suicide

I just checked this out by youself and FD. A song that captures life in the UK in the 80s and with a few changes, the present time. Many people reading this will not understand. I live in Nottingham,  both my father and brother were miners, but both on opposite sides of the fence during the strike. This caused a split that lasted years.
