The Beat - Stand Down Margaret (Extended Version)

The Beat - Stand Down Margaret - Go Feet Records

[sure]

I see no joy, I see only sorrow. There is no chance of a bright new tomorrow. Oh stand down Donald stand down please stand down Donald.

Fred Harris .
If you're out there.
For ever in your debt.

With out your mom
Lovely religious lady.

Id have lost the first job i had the job that put me on the road to a good life...
This track about Thatcher no future & 3 million on the dole. At that time.

We used to listen to the beat...at your house as kids..

Should have got your mom some flowers
But i wasn't mature enough..

Im 60 now...
Never forget your wonderful family..
Always feed me and any other kid.
Hadn't got a pot to piss in..them selves

Real true Jamaican folks...
Respect & thanks.
Left it to late sorry.

Its C____D the outlaw biker.

[RobertMiller-urek]

Saw them in Liverpool in 1983. They delayed coming on and the place got smashed up. The next night went to see steel eye span then the next night the clash. What quality days

[DPcar-mania-]

WHAT a band !!!
WHAT a debut album !!!

Every track a hit !!!

R.I.P. Ranking & Everett.

[mrsiftercovers]

Surely one of the coolest tunes ever recorded

[cleverbstard]

RIP Ranking Roger we love your music for eternity ❤

[annetaylor]

here from netflix the crown love this song

[victorcross]

Brought here by The Crown, too. I hadn’t heard this song in 30+ years; glad it’s getting the attention it so richly deserves. RIP, Ranking Roger!

[paulcreaser]

The lyrics are still relevant today, this song is a montage to growing up in the 1980s Thank you

[SongofSolomon]

Great song, great piece of history. Always reminds me of the DJ who had his contract with the university students' union terminated for continually playing this song at Conservative Club discos.

[gabbycattell]

r.i.p roger very sad day you won't be forgotten

[andyclark]

Absolute quality. Saw them in their heyday in Birmingham back in 1980, and have since seen both Roger’s and Dave’s versions since. R.I.P Roger. Felt like I lost a brother when you passed. A true legend ❤️

[jamiedh]

Of all the great tracks by The Beat I'm always brought back to this track.
Certainly more dubby than a lot of them, and with Roger's plaintiff tone it's just a brilliant combination

[Leoniedisnaelikeliars]

❤ this old song, stand down Boris Thatcher

[andrewburch]

Great days, when we all just enjoyed ourselves no matter where we came from or what colour we were. Bring it back!

[deich]

So grateful for the Crown for reminding me of this straight-up masterpiece.

[Psalm]

Great song. 2021 version STAND DOWN JOHNSON, STAND DOWN PLEASE

[stevesandford]

Roger Charley... "Rankin Roger'... WE loved YOU, Mate... xx SF

[MikeinAustin]

The extended dub of this is just the best. Such great Sax.

[rainstein]

Yet another gem from the English Beat!!! Can't stop these feet from tapping
