Billy Bragg is one of Britain's most distinctive and accomplished songwriters, w
hose 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-kn
own lyrics, selected and annotated by the author. 'Sexuality', 'A New England',
'Levi Stubbs' Tears' - these are unadorned, poetic songs that skilfully interwea
ve everyday observation with much broader concerns: of fairness and outrage, of
generosity and love.
