lyrics

Many years ago when I was five I saw some graffiti that inspired my life. It said BALLS TO ENOCH POWELL. Down by the river at the edge of town someone had a thought and they wrote it down, they wrote BALLS TO ENOCH POWELL. It probably dated back to '68, that speech about Rivers Of Blood and hate. A Tory MP with a sour face, he didn't like people from a different place. His political career ended in disgrace. But though he's been dead for over twenty years, there are still people clinging on to his ideas- trying to make racism respectable, driving in the wedges to divide and rule. They think they're being clever but they're dangerous fools. And until every trace of his memory's gone, we'll all stand together and we'll sing this song, we'll sing BALLS TO ENOCH POWELL!

Lido
by Darren Hayman

Darren Hayman's instrumental album inspired by lost London swimming pools is better than it sounds like it's going to be, and is a long-haul flight favourite of mine. Dip your toes in. Andy Lewis
