Seem to remember Sir Bob saying that the Rats were not good enough for him. Still at least they weren't pretentious. Probably why this song is a good one. It's not pretentious.

Mumford & Sons 70's equivalent, faker charlatans with no genuine guile so they just shoe-horn in on something that doesn't concern them, real folk and real punk respectively.
Foo-kin-ell…..I forgot they did this one , brilliant song, probably one of their best?!
Brilliant band too!
Ya jus' godda luv the Irish, Rats, Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, just my faves but there's loads more!
