The tune InOBU used for that song was used by Richard Thompson for a song on Liege and Leaf called Farewell, Farewell.

For a lot of people that might be an easier record to hunt down than Anne Briggs'. Cracking tune. Not easy to sing, but worth singing. And that goes for Larry's song.

I was watching this docummentary they had today about the firemen, and they had this bit where a young firefighter was talking about how the only other thing he could imagine doing now was being a soldier. And then he said how he didn't want to kill people, he wanted to save them, tha was why whe was a firefighter. And then he said in a sad voice that if they drafted him he would indeed go and kill people.
