Ordinary Man is a classic example , a story of a worker getting laid-off whilst the owners get richer.
Missing You is a story of love and longing.
Beeswing is a Richard Thompson song about "the price you pay for the chains you refuse"
Sacco and Vanzetti is a Woody Guthrie song about two Italian immigrants to the US who devoted their lives to the Labour Union Cause , paying with theyre lives after being sentenced to death on trumped up charges , the introduction tells the tragic story that was only partiallly rectified fifty years after their death.
