I first heard this in 1987/88. It’s more relevant today than it was then, if that’s possible. It’s no longer a question of which side are you on it’s a question of breaking down walls. Thanks, Billy.
This song is more relevant today than ever.... thanks Billy 👍
Wish it wasn't though.
Billy is one of those things I'm glad hasn't changed however.
Billy Bragg has been a voice of reason for much of my life, thank you, and world, listen up, goddammit!!!!
AMZING THAT THIS SONG IS AS PERINENT NOW AS IT WAS IN THE 80'S
Along with Between the Wars, I've just posted that today after voting. ;)
TRUTH
Ottawa in 2022.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written about Ideology
I'm listening for 27 years to the songs of Billy and this song still touches me every time
Billy sings from the heart he is a good man.
Dear Billy, as much as I've ever loved your music and find it relevant today, as a 48 year old man, what brought me to this video really is the gorgeous timberwork behind the band. If that's your loft studio, you're a lucky man, earned it.
It's gotta be Norwegian Wood 😂
Isn't it good?
I love this recording.
Every song from Talking With The Taxman About Poetry is something special to me.
Beautiful
One of the greatest song writer the 80s would of sucked without him
Thank you for all the great music you've released over the years, Billy! 😁🙌
Had never listened to Billy Bragg and will definitely get more of his work.
Now this is why I love you..... since this, what have you become?
Thanks Billy
Danke für die Amiga Platte B..G...
Billy Bragg Talks To The Tax Man About Politics again! Ideology, the definitive rewrite of Chimes Of Freedom (Dylan). You have to admire Billy and his beliefs as they are nothing but true and his finger is as always, on the pulse! This song is as relevant now as it was when I was a teenager. Learn it, teach it, sing it. Spread the word of Bragg! This is an important song you must pass on to the people who need it!
Good to see you back Billy
Magic Billy bloody magic...
We must remember there are more of us than them. We have the power
Honestly, a fantastic remake of this gorgeous song.
Great song and video - and an odd coincidence, too. Basically a re-working of Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom", as popularised by The Byrds, and with a C. Hillman on guitar!
@Selwyn You nailed it!…
As relevant and important now as he was in Thatchers era...God Bless ya Billy :)
Sounds as good as the first time I heard it on vinyl... Wonderful!
Bob Dylan would be proud, so very proud!!
Your amazing love is in the air.❤💚💙💛
Brilliant version!! Looking forward to the new record!! Cheers from Austria!!
Billy, how is it that you keep "Blowing Me Away" more every year !
One of his or your best songs, 4 me kind of brother of Homefront ... thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you!
The Barking Bard singing it loud and clear…
nice song .......chimes of freedom pt2
Yay! Thanks for this! I can't wait to see it live in Ithaca this spring!
Always loved the original version of this song also. Sounds great with the band. Saw you guys 2 years ago at Electric Picnic, my weekend highlight...
Class in the UK x
God bless the civil service
The nations saving grace
While we expect democracy
They're laughing in our face
And although our cries get louder
The laughter gets louder still
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
My feelings exactly. Greetings from Greece.
Only just found this excellent song. However did you mishear? The line goes "God Bless the SECRET service"
THIS SPRING!!! April...
Just great. Back to the Billy Bragg sound I love. You don't need Hawaiian guitars, mate!
you like a history teacher
I looked for this today, because I *needed* to hear it after talking to my brother, who works for the federal gov't & is waiting to hear about furloughs...all because Congress can't get past IDEOLOGIES and talk to each other & serve the people they're elected to represent. Unfortunately, like many "protest" songs, this one remains relevant decades after it was first written. (BTW, love the rehearsal space!)
pretty fookin awesome - even if recorded in California
Funny thing is untill the Young'uns did an A'capella cover of "between the wars" I'd never heard of this magnificent man.
Chimes of freedom :D
+jayorag - Very much the Byrds, but a nice new set of lyrics!
Nickerson's Rachmaninoff-like crescendos echoed Elvis Costello's "Oliver's Army", which echoed ABBA's Benny Anderson. What a great way to open the Malmö concert!
This song never ages Bill - because the politicians never change.... ding dong
Sounds great. Looking forward to the tour and new album. Does the new band have a name and are checked shirts compulsory?
Springsteen-esque!!!! and Turner-esque!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
When are guys coming back to the states?
Chimes of Freedom flashing
obligatory lyrics:
When one voice rules the nation
Just because they're top of the pile
Doesn't mean their vision is the clearest
The voices of the people
Are falling on deaf ears
Our politicians all become careerists
They must declare their interests
But not their company cars
Is there more to a seat in parliament
Than sitting on your arse
And the best of all this bad bunch
Is shouting to be heard
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
Outside the patient millions
Who put them into power
Expect a little more back for their taxes
Like school books, beds in hospitals
And peace in our bloody time
All they get is old men grinding axes
Who've built their private fortunes
On the things they can rely
The courts, the secret handshake
The Stock Exchange and the old school tie
For God and Queen and Country
All things they justify
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
God bless the civil service
The nations saving grace
While we expect democracy
They're laughing in our face
And although our cries get louder
The laughter gets louder still
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
Above the sound of ideologies
Above the sound of ideologies
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
Nice to see Alan Carr on keyboards
Need more volume on your vocals brother...I think this Nation is in much need of some uplifting patriotic/political songs. I feel our song writers are missing a trick and are slacking in this department imo. Thx BB much love for you & ya band.
D you have to have a checked shirt to be in the band? ; )
And, at time of writing, nothing has fucking changed.
Nice rendition, too melodic though. The original album version can't be topped
True. Nothing beats the bite of those clanging guitar chords!
US Version: "They must declare their interests, but not their company GAS/
Is there more to a seat in CONGRESS, than sitting on your ASS?"
the music reminds me CHIMES OF FREEDOM,but Billy has a peculiar own style.
That is deliberate - Billy adapted Dylan's tune to craft an astute commentary on politics Thatcher's England.
Plus ça change Billy. The only MP worth the bother in 2022 is Corbyn.
Never been more true. Gawd, things have only gotten worse.

Don't lie about me as I am truly John Mellor's adorable partner and the guy from Sony was a murderer, John did go to a loony bin for a while and disappeared to us as many abo's in Australia have claimed many times he killed people. Also my grandmother was a Marr from Manchester.
What is happening in front of all the queen’s parliaments today?
Whose side is the secret service on now?
Am here cause of peeps mom
just remember which political party got us into the mess we are in - oh and let's not even mention other minor incidents like illegal wars, extraordinary rendition, the signing of the Lisbon treaty without public consultation.....
80s conservativism secured the framework for the modern era of politics. Britain became a country with no real industrialization who relies on imports from some incredibly questionable places and can't seem to get their heads round free healthcare being a good thing.
@@robertp-i4065 Wow - my comment has NOT dated well when you think of the depths things have sunk in the past decade since I typed it - perhaps reinforcing my belief that all parties appear unwilling/unable to address the deep rooted issues of this country. Totally agree with your reply - perhaps if the left or centre left actually bothered to get their act together and offered a CREDIBLE alternative to 40 years of neoliberal economics. They don't instead they have an on/off love of the EU, mired in antisemitism & chop and change with their desire to get power - both Blair and Starmer believe that the only way to 10 Downing street is to be as ideology free as possible.
Pity BB is cheering along the WEF zealots and their schemes now
More of the same quality.
No sound
first dislike woo
Take it back
