Poor me, Israelites
I get up in the morning slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me, Israelites
My wife and my kids they packed up and leave me
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen
Poor me, Israelites
Well, shirt them a tear-up, trousers are gone
I don’t want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
Poor me, Israelites
And after a storm there must be a calm
They catch me in your farm, you sound your alarm
Poor me, Israelites
I get up in the morning slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me, Israelites
My wife and my kids they packed up and leave me
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen
Poor me, Israelites
Shirt them a tear-up, trousers are gone
I don’t want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
Poor me, Israelites
Poor me, Israelites
Poor me, Israelites
Poor me, Israelites
Poor me, Israelites
OVERVIEW
Mike: I was with my brother Dan, we were on our pushbikes, it was the school summer holidays of 1968. We were slowly making our way out of the grime of North London on the long journey to our holiday destination, a railway cottage in Santon Downham near Thetford in Norfolk. We stopped somewhere North of Epping Forrest in a small village to make a phone call, the sun was shining, the older brother was in the post office red phone box, his younger brother waiting outside, from the pub next door the sound of the radio came drifting over the idyllic late afternoon village green and mixing with the sounds of a few birds singing came the mighty sound of Kingston Jamaica, the sound of Desmond and his Distant Aces… ‘Get up in the morning, slaving for inextricably intertwined with that late summer’s afternoon in 1968.
