When I was 21 years I loved this song I am 42 now and I won't be for long. Billy Bragg is a craftsman who wriites songs that stay with you and retain value throughout your life. Thanks for uploading this.
My teenager just said hey mom, have u listened to this... And I was happily surprised she played this.. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I got to tell her I was 2 years younger than her when my very first boyfriend gave me this tape!
Great track from a great album of sorts (Lifes a Riot with Spy vs Spy). I remember buying this on a cassette, and typical Billy, the B side was blank and the tape could be recorded on - he has always been a man of the people, great guy, shame there aren't more musicians like him.
How many people know that the opening lyrics are taken from Simon and Garfunkel's 'Leaves That Are Green'? Both fantastic artists regardless, and it's clear it's paying homage!
It has stayed with me also. I’ll hear someone say something and it’ll take me back to this song or similar songs. Example the rave ups positively lost me. I guess some things don’t fade away
Some of the greatest lines ever written: I saw two shooting stars last night. I wished on them but they were only satellites. It's wrong to wish on space hardware. I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care.
Lmao it's by The Only Ones, the opposite of replacements. And a good spot, it really was a highly influential post punk song. Robert Smith said it influenced Just Like Heaven...
I asked for your support for the Irish GE Elections. No reply, nothing from you. Your now appear to me as a scudo union "manager". Pathetic. I'm looking for a New Éire - you didn't give a fck - I'm not wanting 2change the world either.
I’m 72 and pressed the wrong button. I’m lying in bed ear phones and listening to back to basics, love it love it love it
I'm 22 and doing exactly the same.
19 and ditto !
Only 17 and yet the exact same
Bop till you drop m8, long life and happiness my friend 🌈🌠
75 now, but won’t be for long. I wish I wish I wish you well!

I totally read this in the cadence of the song. Well done!
We're still wishing on space hardware.
Literally this song made me fall in love with an Englishman.
We decided to meet in Portugal.
Aww....youth!
I found my way here after listening to Billie Joe Armstrong's cover and all I can say although I'm 19 I know art when I hear it 🎸
George Sanchez there's a Kirsty macoll version too
Might be worth noting that the opening line is borrowed from the Simon and Garfunkle song "Leaves that Are Green",
He is so Underated our🇬🇧 Billy🇬🇧😁 the man's a legend 👋🎸🎸

Such a beautiful song. Forty years since I first heard it and I still love it

"People ask when will you grow up to be a man
But all the girls I loved at school

Is it wrong to wish on space hardware?
No, it's not. I know, even I asked the same question a few weeks ago, four years after you.
