Back in the days when David was an "old fashioned leftie".

These days he prefers Eric "send them all back" Clapton. Tony "enough is enough" Hadley and Phil "I'll move to Switzerland if the tories dont get in" Collins.

He wrote it. And added an extra verse for Kirsty MacColl when she wanted to cover it.

Then why say "his version" instead of saying, "I always liked A New England" as we were talking about Bragg?

Nice try.

'Sunday Bloody Sunday' by U2.

What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it?

You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!

Although he wrote it, it was an album track not a single release. Became a hit after he re-wrote it for Kirsty MacColl.
Most people remember it from her version.
Even if you write a song it is still a version.
