Cover art for Two Swords lyrics by English Beat, The

Great song upholding the ideals of non-violence. Second only to The Specials, The Beat was a major player in bringing ska back to the people in the remnants of the British Empire. The Beat was also the more "New Wave" 2 Tone Ska band and this song reflects that. The drums playing of Everett Morton points in a more New Wave direction. Great song and a perfect example of the popular sound of the UK's vibrant punk movement.
