Thanks, brachiopod && china doll.
I'll probably go with the Billy Bragg tracks as I love him!
He is a great artist.
Thanks again xoxox
I was going to suggest Billy Bragg's 'Between The Wars': here's a tab if you need it

Curtis Mayfield's "We've gotta have peace" is worth a listen. As is Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Battlefield" from the album "Tarkus". Some great lyrics - "Clear the battlefield and let me see, all the profits from our victoree".
perhaps not for those of your era, but check out Flanders & Swann - 20 Tons of TNT. The maths are a little out these days (due to 50 years of progress) but still a powerful message.
Whats Going On by Marvin Gaye.
wooden ships --- crosby stills and nash
When the tigers broke free - pink floyd
