And while I'm on an Eric Bogle kick, here's the Pogues' version of "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda"...
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

This is my favorite version of Eric Bogle's "The Green Fields of France", sung by June Tabor and titled in her case "No Man's Land/Flowers of the Forest"....

A TON of Pink Floyd, but the best one is "Us And Them"

Right on Daddio! My old Uncle Peter used to say 'Fight fire with fire' (which is why they had to throw him out of the fire service)




At least your Uncle wasn't a hippie!

This one is an iconic anti-war song in the Nordic countries. It has English subtitles.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Probably not the most appropriate one for these times that I could think of, but I found this emotionally resonant.

Redgum - "I Was Only Nineteen"



Elvis Costello's "Shipbuilding" (I love the version sung by Robert Wyatt as well as other covers) was the other to immediately come to mind.
Just a music fan passing through trying to fill some void. Various music I am into now: a youtube playlist

Peter Hammill's take on a rather tired platitude i.e. war is futile maaan is always worth some of everyone's time. Especially those enjoying the peacetime that wars others fought in helped to deliver.

This one is my favourite. 

Here's a part from its lyrics:

"Investing your money in guns
The infinite fun
Of the warlord you saved
From a rusty grave"

Many favorites already named. The Edwin Starr and Black Sabbath are among my favorites to "crank up.*

This one too.
