I've listened to this thousands of times and, even though I've never been there, I'm instantly transported to that Greyhound bus, doing the miles, rolling along to a new future together. Classic.

I know this might be unpopular, but I’m getting fed up with #CIN now. Great cause but it used to be a one day event to raise money. Now it’s like Christmas, starting in July, and going on forever.

But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

Bought this album in 1976 and took it on a Three Peaks expo to Horton In Ribblesdale. Field centre is now The Golden Lion Hotel. Dansette in the main lounge played this tune over and over. Us and the teachers/minders all got drunk in The Crown pub.

Melon is right.
About a million people turned up in my small village one day. They ate the kids, raped the cats & dogs and cut down the trees to make small boats for their mates.
We hid our pipes and smoked them after dark, afraid.
Horrible!
