Keeping It Peel – 31 Songs #25 – A Lover Sings
October 25, 2011
Keeping it Peel – this is from Billy’s live performance at a party to celebrate John Peel’s 40th anniversary at Radio 1, with some enjoyably disconnected bits of talk at the beginning and end.
It’s a lovely song, the play out track from the second album and a perfect little love song. If you were going to be really picky, you could argue that it’s a bit of a collection of brilliant one liners rather than something which actually flows, particularly in the second verse, but maybe that’s kind of the point – that by the second verse things aren’t exactly flowing any more. Love and pain.

Some of my favourite Billy Bragg songs could be fairly described as “a collection of brilliant one liners”. That’s why I love ‘em.
