Hard-On For War
Dall'album "Under A Billion Suns" (2006)
Un'originale, interessante e per nulla campata in aria teoria sulle ragioni della guerra... Vi siete mai chiesti perchè le gerontocrazie di ogni angolo del mondo (trovatemi un governo o un parlamento dove la media d'età sia inferiore ai 60 anni!) mandano i giovani uomini a fare la guerra?

Billy recorded this at a radio interview in Ann Arbor, Michigan, at the suggestion of his new American record label, ANTI, who really liked it when he played it at the South By South West hootenanny.
'Bush War Blues' was recorded at Big Sky Recording in Ann Arbor by Geoff Michael, Gregg Leonard and Chris Duross on 22 March 2006, so it's about as fresh as it could be.

The song was issued on downloads only in March 2005, and the following month saw a commercial release on Pallot's album Fires.

È la storia di una coppia di anziani coniugi britannici che si prepara ad affrontare i rigori di una guerra imminente come se si trattasse della II guerra mondiale, fiduciosi che con un po' di sacrificio e di fortuna riusciranno a scamparla ancora una volta... non si rendono conto però che la nuova guerra sarà nucleare...
A firmare la colonna sonora, insieme a Bowie, c'è Roger Waters con "Towers of Faith".
