Frank Turner, English folky/rocky singer songwriter from down south somewhere. Used to be the frontman for Million Dead, but I can’t pretend I knew him from then or ever listened to them. Have seen him live a number of times in Oxford and Leamington (as a side for a grander venue, I think the Assembly Rooms might be my favourite)

“So come on old friends to the streets
Let’s be 1905 but not 1917,
Let’s be heroes, let’s be martyrs, let’s be radical thinkers
Who never have to test drive the least of their dreams
Let’s divide up the world into the damned and safe
And then ride to the valleys like the old life brigade
And straighten our backs and we won’t be afraid
And they’ll celebrate our deaths with a national paradeSo come on let’s be young, let’s be crass enough to care
Let’s refuse to live and learn, let’s make all our mistakes again yes
And then darling, just for one day, we can fight and we can win
And if only for a little while, we could insist on the impossible”
