Songwriter: Bob Dylan

Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If'n you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
You’re the reason I’m a-traveling on
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
The light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I’m on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Don’t think twice, it’s all right

So it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can’t hear you anymore
I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind
You could've done better, but I don’t mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Don’t think twice, it’s all right

So long, honey babe
Where I’m bound, I can’t tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I’ll just say fare thee well
I’m thinking and a-wondering, walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I’m told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
Don’t think twice, it’s all right

Billy Bragg

Billy Brag born in 1957 in Essex, was since a young age very inspired by punk, and politically motivated folk music. After attending the Rock Against Fascism concert where he saw The Clash perform, that was when he finally made the decision to pursue a left wing politically driven music career.

He first formed the punk band Riff Raff in 1977, but with no exposure the band broke apart in 1980. After a bad start of his music career he decided to join the British Army, but after only three months he bought himself out and headed back home.

With some of his albums starting to get more coverage, like “Between the Wars” which then got onto the top 20 of the UK Top Singles chart.
