Jayaben Desai
Lit a path for us to follow
Showed us we can take tomorrow
If we try
Was the long hot summer
That Punk hit London town
Jayaben Desai stood up
And wasn't backing down
"We Are Not The Monkeys!"
And we'll dance for you no more.
"We Are The Lions!"
Boy, you should have heard her roar.
Gandhi's words had taught her
To always stand up tall
That an injustice for one
Is an injustice for us all.
Jayaben Desai stood up to
Their intimidation
Their sexism
Their racism
Their press humiliation
Their threats and empty promises
Arrest and still held strong
Some say she's gone now
But her light is shining on.

The Rhythm And The Rhyme

Brand new album from one of my favourite people in all the world. The opening track 'Ghosts and Drunks' is a song I wrote for him and he has made it so beautiful I can't listen without crying. Ace.
