About Great

“Great,” the fourth single from IDLES' second album Joy as an Act of Resistance, reflects on the reasons behind why 52% of the UK chose to leave the EU. It is ultimately a cautiously optimistic song about choosing unity over hate as the UK moves closer to the leave date, and into uncertain waters. In a press release, Joe Talbot said: “Let us go forward with open minds and open hearts into that fuck off fire we’ve started.” The band have publicly spoken out about their dislike of the ‘Brexit’ result. .

Great Lyrics

[00:03.06] Listen to more jungle
[00:04.36]
[00:12.89] Blighty wants his country back
[00:17.28] Fifty-inch screen in his cul-de-sac
[00:21.60] Whooping charm of the Union Jack
[00:25.69] As he cries at the price of a bacon bap
[00:30.56] Islam didn't eat your hamster
[00:35.04] Change isn't a crime
[00:39.29] So won't you take my hand sir
[00:43.79] And sing with me in time
[00:48.43] G, r, e, a, t
[00:54.60] (Thats great)
[00:56.97] G, r, e, a, t
[01:04.08]
[01:18.89] Blighty wants her blue passport
[01:23.47] Not quite sure what the union's for
[01:27.89] Burning bridges and closing doors
[01:31.64] Not sure what she sees on the seashore
[01:36.70] Islam didn't eat your hamster
[01:41.11] Change isn't a crime
[01:45.19] So won't you take my hand sister
[01:49.91] And sing with me in time
[01:54.32] G, r, e, a, t
[02:00.50] (Thats great)
[02:02.93] G, r, e, a, t
[02:12.16] You can have it all, I don't mind
[02:20.70] Just get ready to work overtime
[02:26.62] 'Cause we're all in this together
[02:42.42]
