1969 - All in living colour

March from Belfast to Derry and take part
In the grand old Battle of the Bogside
Burn yourself in Prague for the lack of heart
Your people show, preferring just to hide
Read 'The Godfather' - Mary Jo has died -
Pompidou's President, land on the Moon
And make Charles Prince of Wales, fill kids with pride
Stonewall riots, Manson murders, the tune
Is Helter Skelter, Get Back, Something. Soon
Asia can fight by itself, says Richard
Nixon, and see Russia and China fight
Gaddafi comes, Ho Chi Minh goes, Python
And Sesame Street on TV, which starts
Regularly in colour, all three sides
