Ich habe kein Bild von Charles Hendys Interpretation von "Building Up And Tearing England Down", dem alten tragikomischen Dominic-Behan-Song über das Leid der irischen Gastarbeiter in England, und das liegt einfach daran, dass dieses Lied in dieser Form so unfassbar schön und traurig ist, dass ich es einfach nicht hinkriege. Das Publikum singt mit, es ist ein Traum. "I remember Carriеr Jack he wore a hod upon his back /
And he swore he'd one day set the world on fire /
His face we've never seen since his shovel it cut clean /
Through the middle of a big high tension wire /
And I saw auld Balls McCaul, from the big flyover fall /
Into a concrete mixer spinning round /
Though it was not his intent, he got a fine head of cement /
When he was building up and tearing England down"
