Les CRS tous avec nous

Les CRS tous avec nous

Chanson française – Les CRS tous avec nous – La Chanson du Dimanche – 2012

Pour la compréhension internationale de la chanson du dimanche, on précise que les CRS, dont il est question, ce sont les membres des compagnies républicaines de sécurité, qui font partie de la Police Nationale ... hautement spécialisées dans la répression musclée, dans le matraquage et plus, si affinités.

Quant aux événements dont elle parle...

Il faut comprendre que les couplets sont chantés par les CRS eux-mêmes et les refrains viennent en écho commenter de l'extérieur, de manière teintée d'ironie, ce que sont les CRS dans la vie quotidienne. Car en vérité, ils doivent bien à certains moments être en congé ou en repos... et donc, être déguisés en civils....

Dans le premier refrain, les CRS chantent leur première période... Depuis leur création en 1944 jusqu'à la répression des Algériens... (Continues)

Amereicha

Amereicha
Lyrics by Duncan 'Dunst' Bruce

Non trovo questo brano in nessun album dei Chumbawamba, solo in una compilation di autori vari del 1988 intitolata "Sportchestra! ‎– 101 Songs About Sport".

Sulle Olimpiadi del 36 nella Berlino nazista, dove Jesse Owens trionfò, ma al suo ritorno in patria trovò il razzismo di sempre, incarnato addirittura in Roosevelt il quale, essendo in campagna elettorale, non volle incontrarlo per non inimicarsi l'elettorato WASP.

In '36 the world's teams

Fitzwilliam

Fitzwilliam
‎[1985]‎
Nella compilation “Dig This: A Tribute To The Great Strike”‎

Un’altra canzone sul grande sciopero dei minatori inglesi del 1984/85.‎
Fitzwilliam è il nome di una cittadina mineraria del West Yorkshire, "a dirty brown mining town" ‎che dopo la progressiva chiusura dei pozzi, a partire già dalla fine degli anni 60, si era piano piano ‎trasformata in una “ghost town”…‎
Smiles for the cameras as the miners return

Daddy What Did You Do In The ‎Strike?, copertina dell’audiocassetta che circolava tra i minatori inglesi durante lo sciopero del ‎‎1984/85 che durò per più di un anno e che si concluse con la sconfitta del NUM e dei lavoratori…‎

Birth, School, Work, Death

Birth, School, Work, Death
‎[1988]‎
Album “Birth, School, Work, Death”‎

Un pezzo bellirrimo che già proposi parecchio tempo fa e che fu cassato forse perchè all’epoca le ‎‎“maglie” delle CCG erano ancora un po’ strettine… Provo a riproporlo, hai visto mai…‎

Semplicemente, le prospettive dei giovani inglesi nell’ultima fase del thatcherismo: nascere, ‎studiare (i più poveri e sfigati poco e malamente), lavorare (forse…), morire (fuckin’ surely ‎sure!)…‎
Been turned around till I'm upside down
