lyrics

There's a woman in a crown talking on the telly
A woman in a crown talking 'bout austerity
A woman in a crown, some sorta ceremony
A woman in a crown, and she's tellin' me

That she lives in the biggest council house I've ever seen
She lives a life of luxury that you might call obscene
She lives in the biggest council house I've ever seen
A lifetime on benefits, God Save The Queen

There's a woman on the telly in a million pound hat
She's talking on the telly 'bout a welfare cap
Not sure the civil list's included in that
And she can still afford to buy a Right To Buy flat

Though she lives in the biggest council house I've ever seen
She lives a life of luxury that you might call obscene
She lives in the biggest council house I've ever seen
A lifetime on benefits, God Save The Queen

There's a woman on the telly talkin' 'bout the Tories
A woman on the telly tellin' aspiration stories
She waves a royal finger to show Europe where the door is
While we pay for her family and food for her corgis

'Cos she lives in the biggest council house I've ever seen
She lives a life of luxury that you might call obscene
She lives in the biggest council house I've ever seen
A lifetime on benefits, God Save The Queen

The woman in the crown don't like you gettin' high
The woman in the crown don't like your human rights
The woman in the crown kissed your privacy goodbye
The woman in the crown don't like your right to strike

And she lives in the biggest council house I've ever seen
She lives a life of luxury that you might call obscene
She lives in the biggest council house I've ever seen
A lifetime on benefits, God Save The Queen

Headscarves & Hurricanes
by Joe Solo

Joe Solo, the living, breathing soul of the We Shall Overcome movement, tells the story of Lillian Bilocca and the Headscarf Revolutionaries. Look out for the song with The Commoners Choir. Steve White & The Protest Family

Queer As Folk
by Grace Petrie

Once upon a time we'd occasionally share a bill with Grace. This is the album that'll make her a household name, and rightly so. Essential. Steve White & The Protest Family

Times of Transition
by Paddy Nash & The Happy Enchiladas

A really tough choice between this one, Laughter & Love or Paddy's latest, Gate Fever. No one tells a story, or brings people together, the way that they do. Billy Bragg loves them and so do we. Steve White & The Protest Family

A NORTHERN SOUL

This has been a hard year as a social worker I recognise that I am not facing the reality of the saving of lives and I despair at how the government have treated our nhs people. I have been responding to the needs and crisis faced by children and young people in care . Carers with health vulnerability with challenging teens who won’t follow the rules- risks there create anxiety, carers of children who have been abused and traumatised- limited services - songs like this keep me going thanks maureenb
