Love the Paul Kelly number Firewood and Candles as the video is like a cooking show with Paul! The great man has aged like a fine wine. Going underground by the Jam is another classic and a tune I can relate to the week it was published in Covid Island Discs because yet again the Johnson government increased its majority in the house of Commons. The lines that ring true for me in the Jam classic are:

And the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society’s got
I’m going underground (going underground)

Finally the video imagery in “thru these walls” and “Russians” is also very good both songs covering rather dark themes of sexual deviancy and nuclear warfare respectively.
