1968 - 68 Special

Dubcek's Prague Spring - then tanks come rolling in
Paris also rises, students play-act
In 'Nam, the Tet Offensive, Charlie's turn
To turn up the heat, but US reacts
At My Lai. In Chicago, Democrats
Nominate Humphrey, now Bobby's been shot
MLK too, and two Black Power salutes
In Mexico, whose Government shot at
Protesters and passers-by. Also hot
In Brum, with Enoch's speech, though it might win
The next election for Heath. Man U's cracked
That elusive Euro Cup win. Val's shot
Holes in Warhol, Catholics protest in
NI... Dick Nixon, Concorde, Jumbo Jet
