Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has released two politically charged songs targeting what he sees as the uncertainty and surrealism permeating politics in the age of Brexit and Donald Trump.
One song, titled "England Lost", represents Jagger's mocking take on Britain's split from the European Union. The second, "Get a Grip", describes an "upside down" world full of "lunatics and clowns".
Jagger, 74, said on Facebook he had started writing the songs a few weeks ago in his first solo work since 2011.

Later he adds: "Had a girl in Lisbon, a girl in Rome/ Now I'll have to stay at home/ So lock the shutters, bolt the doors/London's gonna be like Singapore."
Classic stuff.
There were 45s in 1981???
England’s lost alright. Their WW 2 vets agree - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1229643/This-isnt-Britain-fought-say-unknown-warriors-WWII.html
“Am I stupid and dim?
No, but Mick sure is. “
Lol, after fifty plus years of heavy drugs and booze, ole Mick’s cranium has got to be a hollow shell....
Mick needs to sew his lips together.
Caution, Mick...you’re gonna need high-strength carpet thread for this babies.
Don’t count out Mick just yet. His video has evolved,,,,https://vladtepesblog.com/2017/07/29/mick-jaggers-new-video-has-evolved/ read comments by actual Brits and their interpretations, especially one that notes the youth in the video who should be rebellious, instead are portrayed as state brainwashed.
Mick Jagger just turned 74 on the 26th of July.
First, as Kel Fritzi of Blog Talk Radio, so studiously observed, the main character was wearing ta very similar tie as Neville Chamberlain wore. In fact the one Chamberlain wore during his “peace in our time” speech.
LoL! Okaaayy.....
Good ol’ “Mick the Lip”.
Yep, lots of hidden messages. It’s Britain for Christakes, you cant outright openly say what you thinks. Their deep state is worse than ours.
That phrase-maker Mick has done it again with this lyric: “Fake news”. Look for this to catch on and be repeated EVERYWHERE!
Yep, the VladTepesBlog thread is MUCH better than this FR thread.
I think this thread's article is disinformation. Doesn't fit.
The following is the top comment from the link you provided.
The English Everyman. He is followed by someone, some thing. He is very frightened. Panicked. Whatever it is he feels it is a grave threat to himself. Note at 1:50 what looks like a paratrooper in the sky. This is a foreshadow of military dominance not by foreign power but domestic. When he trips over the boy’s bicycle the boy says, “You should get that looked at.” But when the Everyman looks at the boy the expression is not of an innocent young man but rather something knowing and menacing. The GB that runs him over is the least suggestive so most literal subtext. It is important when He dashes into the sea. Reminding all it is an island. The Suits–yes all suits but for the young girl who SHOULD represent the rebellion of youth–asks what the hell were you thinking?(paraphrased). It is about tyrannical state control.
I refrained from commenting on the first version but I understood. Speaking in subtext is better than speaking in prison where nobody hears, and a few on the same wavelength will clue in. The rebel Jagger proves himself a great and still relevant artist IMHO. This is an expensive, elaborate, thoughtful statement by a proud Brit. I welcome any challenge to my interpretation.
Wow! All I remember is CDs at that time.
I didn’t start buying CDs until 88-89 - after I’d been in Japan for a few years .
How long has it been since The Kinks sang “There’s no England now.”
Mick's been a health nut since the 70s. You're describing Keith Richards.
