Thank you so much for reacting again to Big Country. It's very much appreciated. They're a special band 💙. You can drop your cap on any one of their songs, and you'll find something to love. So many masterpieces, and the best live band I've ever seen. Best wishes and thanks again.
We're at war All the papers say We will win I read today We are strong It wasn't us We are right Who started this? Leave your work I just left school Leave your home I am no fool Take up arms It left me strong Sound alarms The school bell rings Sons of men who stand like gods We give life to feed the cause And run to ground our heathen foe Our name will never die This time will be forever Join up here I wave goodbye We need you Oh my breast sighs Have no fear I must try God will be with braver men Take the vow I know its right Praise the flag The good fight We're at war I'm on my way We will win Why do I pray? Sons of men who stand like gods We give life to feed the cause And run to ground our heathen foe Our name will never die This time will be forever I wait here in this hole Playing poker with my soul I hold the rifle close to me It lights the way to keep me free If I die in a combat zone Box me up and ship me home If I die and still come home Lay me where the rose is sown Sons of men who stand like gods We give life to feed the cause And run to ground our heathen foe Our name will never die This time will be forever
Most underrated band of all time Stuart Adamson was a great lyricist singer and unbelievable guitarist although in a big country was a big hit in the US. I think it hurt them here in the long run because they have 20+ songs that is better than that song, even though it’s a very good song sadly they didn’t get US air play
Chills through my spine
Greatest band ever
One of the best live bands I've seen.

One of the songs that I'll have played at my funeral, the other being Wonderful Life by Black.
Their second album, Steeltown, is a masterpiece.
Stewart adamson one of the most underrated guitarist of all time 👍
It's about the 1982 Falklands Conflict between Britain and Argentina, over the Falkland Islands.
THE best live band ever,rip stuart

We're at war All the papers say
We will win I read today
We are strong It wasn't us
We are right Who started this?
Leave your work I just left school
Leave your home I am no fool
Take up arms It left me strong
Sound alarms The school bell rings
Sons of men who stand like gods
We give life to feed the cause
And run to ground our heathen foe
Our name will never die
This time will be forever
Join up here I wave goodbye
We need you Oh my breast sighs
Have no fear I must try
God will be with braver men
Take the vow I know its right
Praise the flag The good fight
We're at war I'm on my way
We will win Why do I pray?
Sons of men who stand like gods
We give life to feed the cause
And run to ground our heathen foe
Our name will never die
This time will be forever
I wait here in this hole
Playing poker with my soul
I hold the rifle close to me
It lights the way to keep me free
If I die in a combat zone
Box me up and ship me home
If I die and still come home
Lay me where the rose is sown
Sons of men who stand like gods
We give life to feed the cause
And run to ground our heathen foe
Our name will never die
This time will be forever
Scotland watches 😘

Should have made the band screen larger and your screen smaller when the song started
I know but UA-cam doesn't like it.
