"If I was sat here with a broken leg
You'd offer to fetch my beer from the bar
But you see me with a broken head
So you mutter down into your beer from afar.............."

There is help, there is hope, there is another way....... talk to someone

I was guessing just to please her,
I guessed orange but it was malteser,
I guessed peanut but it was toffee,
I guessed raisin but it was coffee,
I was wrong on so many revels

On this day back in 1982 The Jam played their last ever gig in Brighton...... the soundtrack to our adolescence played out......

"It's too bad that we had to break up
And too much said for us to ever make up"

Ignorance appears clear cut
Views in conversations put
In to reveal as they start their spiel
With I'm not racist, but..........
