either:
behan was pissed off coz he was first to use a war theme with that tune
or he had subconsciously lifted the tune from staffords version. he argued that he had first recorded "the nightingale" to the tune of the patriot game in the 60s, but stafford did it first. according to heylins book "revolution in the air", he wrote a letter to the guardian in 1985 about this after other letters had claimed he had stolen the tune first. be interesting if they could be dug up...

here is another nice behan tune - liverpool lou www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDWfg3N4cRAheylin missed out on this one. the second song boby wrote after god on our side (according to CH) was "liverpool gal" and sixth song was "gypsy lou". liverpool gal he never recorded. clearly, he was toying around with another behan song. |

jefferson airplane, rejoyce, 1967: www.sendspace.com/file/byadisChemical change, like a a laser beam you've shattered the warning amber light Wake me warm Let me see you moving everything over smiling in my room you know you'll be inside of my mind soon There are so many of you White shirt and tie, white shirt and tie white shirt and tie, wedding ring, wedding ring Mulligan stew for Bloom the only Jew in the room Saxon's sick on the holy dregs and their constant getting throw up on his leg Molly's gone to blazes Boylan's crotch amazes any woman whose husband sleeps with his head all buried down at the foot of his bed I've got his arm I've got his arm I've had it for weeks I've got his arm Steven won't give his arm to no gold star mother's farm War's good business so give your son and I'd rather have my country die for me There are so many of you Sell your mother for a Hershey bar grow up looking like a car there are All you want to do is live all you want to do is give but somehow it all falls apart |
