Arkells - No Champagne Socialist Lyrics
Let the record show
It's 1964, in the city of New York
And take the train to Queens
And meet a Jewish family
And his brothers have left home
And he's on the same road
Just credits shy of a diploma
But he wants to represent
The struggling with rent
But he can't live on both sides of the fence
So he continues to insist that he's no champagne socialist
And he's not coming back
He knows of all the problems of the past
But he's quick to concede
That in order to proceed
We can't just keep on preaching what we need
To become a working man
Is to live and work with them
And this is something you can't pretend
So he continues to insist that he's no champagne socialist
(That he's no champagne socialist)
(He's no champagne socialist)

That part where there blasting the harmonica sounds a lot like a song by tom petty.called swingin. Such a wicked song
Just discovered this band, so happy :)
your time is going to come - led zeppelin
And props to that chris guy for proposing to his girlfriend in the middle of their set, brilliant idea setting that up with power97 and the band
I saw these guys Saturday in Winnipeg, they opened for Tragically Hip. After seeing them perform this song, I have mad respect. They were fuckin rocking it! Great show
sleeka00 204 represent!!
i saw them live, too. they played as a pre-band. well... they were good, but in my oppinion nothing special
Saw them live, wasn't disappointed. They delivered!
See that dislike bar?....
yea me either.
just saw them at sound of music in Burlington and they played this song blasting the harmonica and wow it was the best show ive seen yet..they were amazing!
That Harmonica is soooo sexy. Just like Up Sister from Sam Roberts, completely raises the song to a new level
@TeamFront1 it was the song.
@jimmyhayes22 I use to work with Max back in the day, Effin hilarious dude
heard the first 30 seconds and imediately added to favourites
Yea these guys are great! :D
I just got a friggen post card in the mail with all THEIR SIGNATURES ON IT! :D I think that was from my sister.. but anyway, they are the best!
wuv mcmaster
I've seen the Arkells 3 times now and I still don't have a favourite song, gotta love Mac :)
they make me proud to be Canadian
This song is great, but I must say it is the harmonica that makes it amazing.
Arkells in Goderich for the Out Of the Storm Concert with a great line up! October 8th....... awesome! money from concert for the Goderich Tornado Relief Fund! Can't wait!
sweet ass song
favourite band
that is all.
There isn't a song by them that I don't love.
When these guys opened up for the tragically hip last night it was amazing. I couldn't believe how good they sound. Pretty they are now on my top 5 for Canadian bands.
@partyinmyorganz Are you joking? These guys RIP IT UP Live. Only seen them once but they played a dope set!!
US needs to be darker on that chart, saw these guys at Sonic Boom fest, loved 'em instantly
Saw this band live with the Tragically Hip in Wiarton.
Both bands killed it live
Just got back from their concert at EP Taylors pub. It was awesome. Slightly upset they didn't play my favorite song "Tragic Flaw" but damn, these guys put on an amazing show.
@partyinmyorganz First time i ever heard of the Arkells i watched them live. They are album quality live. Wicked.
Saw them play this last night! Sick shit!
These guys are what Canada is about. Thank you JIMMYHAYES22!!
okie okie sooo...............................I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS BAND
and i'm gonna see them live on the 27th and i'm kinda worried that they won't be as good live then they are recorded.
has anyone seen them live?
Nice to see hear some real alternative rock.
just saw them yesterday at holland park with sam roberts and dan mangan. they were all so so so amazing!
This song gives me goosebumps. It's so perfect! Arkells are the next big thing, Book it !
Saw these guys at a small bar in Kamloops last month, only about fifty people showed up..... fucking amazing show. They were so grateful to play and they went off. They ended the encore with Springsteens dancing in the dark. Wow, Insanity.....yes it was that good.
love the harmonica...love the band too
