Billy Bragg - Sexuality
I've had relations with girls from many nations I've made passes at women of all classes And just because you're gay I won't turn you away If you stick around I'm sure that we can find some common ground
Chorus: Sexuality - Strong and warm and wild and free Sexuality - Your laws do not apply to me
A nuclear submarine sinks off the coast of Sweden Headlines give me headaches when I read them I had an uncle who once played for Red Star Belgrade He said some things are really left best unspoken But I prefer it all to be out in the open
Sexuality - Young and warm and wild and free Sexuality - Your laws do not apply to me Sexuality - Don't threaten me with misery Sexuality - I demand equality
I'm sure that everybody knows how much my body hates me It lets me down most every time and makes me rash and hasty I feel a total jerk before your naked body of work
I'm getting weighed down with all this information Safe sex doesn't mean no sex it just means use your imagination Stop playing with yourselves in hard currency hotels I look like Robert De Niro, I drive a Mitsubishi Zero
Sexuality - Strong and warm and wild and free Sexuality - Your laws do not apply to me Sexuality - Come eat and drink and sleep with me Sexuality - We can be what we want to be

Billy Bragg - Greetings to the New Brunette (Shirley)
Thanks to feinstein1 for suggesting this.
The lead guitar on the record sounds like it's played on electric (probably telecaster) and accoustic guitars, but the credits say Marr only did "electric guitar". So did Billy Bragg play the accoustic track? It seems about ten times as complicated as the stuff he normally plays and is very much in Johnny's style. Anyway, it's quite hard to hear but I've played what I imagine it to be and made it more prominent in the mix.
For better sound quality (I think YouTube videos are all mono, for starters), get my podcast.

Billy Bragg - The Man In The Iron Mask
Not Northern Soul!
although not Billy's most radical political song it is without doubt his most beautiful and poignant song in which he highlights the dilemma of the guy who knows his girl is doing the dirty on him but he loves her too much to call it a day!
Stephen William Bragg (born December 20, 1957), known as Billy Bragg, is an English musician renowned for his blend of folk, punk-rock, and protest music, and his lyrics dealing with political as well as romantic themes. He has been active for over 20 years, and has collaborated with many other leading musicians, including Johnny Marr of The Smiths, protest folk singer Leon Rosselson, members of R.E.M., Michelle Shocked, Less Than Jake, Kirsty MacColl, and Wilco. Bragg often plays and speaks at the Tolpuddle Martyrs festival. Billy Bragg was born in the county of Essex, England. He grew up in Barking. Although now living in a small village in Dorset, he is still associated with his London roots and is sometimes known, jocularly, as "the bard of Barking". Bragg is a self-declared West Ham United fan. Attending a comprehensive school, Bragg had an undistinguished educational career. One source states that he excelled only in English. He left school with few qualifications, but determined to do something with his life. He joined his next-door neighbour, "Wiggy", to practice guitar. They would teach each other new riffs from their widening record collection. Their main influences in the early 1970s were The Faces, The Small Faces, The Rolling Stones and eventually, punk (The Clash in particular). In 1977 they formed a punk/pub rock band called Riff Raff and toured London's pubs and clubs. The band also practised in a farm house in Oundle, Northamptonshire, and released a series of singles. However these records did not receive wide exposure and the band failed. He also worked for Low Price Records North Street Barking, Essex.
Following the Riff Raff experience, Bragg became disillusioned with his musical career and joined the British Army as a trooper in the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars of the Royal Armoured Corps in May 1981. This move turned out very quickly not to be the right one for him, but nevertheless acted as an inspiration for his later work. After completing a one-month physical fitness course in Solihull and three months basic training at Catterick Garrison in Yorkshire, he bought his way out of the army for £175 and returned home to his mother and his music.
