Lover sings: selected lyrics, hardcover/billy bragg

Billy Bragg is one of Britains most distinctive and accomplished songwriters, whose work has articulated the passions, both personal and political, of Britain during the past five decades.

A Lover Sings contains over seventy of his best-known lyrics, selected and annotated by the author.

Sexuality, A New England, Levi Stubbs Tears - these are unadorned, poetic songs that skilfully interweave everyday observation with much broader concerns: of fairness and outrage, of generosity and love.

A Lover Sings reveals a unique sensibility: principled and proudly of the Left, funny, forthright and tender.

It is a remarkable collection.
