in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

    Kate Bush makes this song what it is meant to be! Can't you just hear the pain of the struggle.....

    Funny how when this track first came out we were in the grip of a Tory Government and here we are again. This song is still an inspiration to all who think their life is at the bottom. Kate's haunting vocals & Gabriel's passion make the stand out track on an excellent record.

    Wonderful track from a great album. One of the best albums to emerge from the dark decade of crap production, The Eighties.

    Later on at 4:39 does Kate Bush sing "no reason to be a shit"?

    Sadly, there must be more and more homes where a "don't give up" is whipsered nowadays... Aside from that, what a track...
