No Justice (I.U.P.G.)

On March 23rd I was arrested under mistaken identity and held in a police cell for four nights. Despite my innocence, I was verbally abused, sexually humiliated and held in contempt by those in charge. With no money, upon release I forced to hitch-hike 75 miles to Glossop.


NO JUSTICE
(INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY)

No justice, no justice


I'm innocent I say.
Give us your name they say
I'm innocent I protest.
Where were you on this date they aggress
I'm innocent I cry.
Shackled they split my eye,
My innocent eye.

No justice, no justice

Groping they accuse,
In a loving relationship I prove.
Guilty they imply when
Innocent, am I.
For the crime of mistaken identity
A fiddling nonce I may become,
In the eyes of their justice.
Where's my justice?

"(Bring Back!) News Of The World"

The Garibaldis' breakaway 2011 hit was written and recorded in a day. I have often wondered if it is morally wrong to write a hit-song in support of an issue you happen to disagree with. Steve persuaded me years back that all songwriters do it and he's right. RIP Rupert Murdoch.



(BRING BACK) NEWS OF THE WORLD
Bring back
News Of The World!

Weren't given no warning
You just went away
An empire grounded but
We're here to say

Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back

Your influence massive
You broke all the rules
Until you were shot down
By those distrustful of you
But they were all jealous of you

Bring back

Bring it back, bring it back
