about

All Property is Theft is a concept/idea from Marxist school of hippiedom, its dedicated to Bromsgroves anti ownership brigade circa 1983...

lyrics

Grew his hair and bought a chillum pipe
Found himself in another life
In a peace camp outside of Monmouth
The Welsh Connection just sign on for the dole cheque

Self-sufficient love of the land
Playing guitar in a local band
Fell in love with a yoga teacher
And he’d do anything anything to please her

I mean anything, anything

Went to London on a demo
Lit a six-foot papier Mache joint in Soho
Got arrested by the fuzz
Old Bailey trial three months in the scrubs

Went to war against the state
Read Albert Camus and William Blake
Started teaching at the college
Radical visions alternative knowledge

And all property is theft

Moved up north into the lazy city
Showpiece of the nitty gritty
Where he failed to impress
Took it all to heart and it left him in a mess

Left him in a right bloody mess

When the carnival was over
He returned to Worcestershire
And when I asked him why he said
There’s nothing going on down there

And all property is theft
