Does anyone know the name of the cello solo?

Ah, well, I don’t know about the “I wish I was born British” line, it seems a bit like self-loathing to me. Admiring British culture is one thing…Still if you’re determined to be British, being Brazilian, you could try marrying Peter Mandelson!

This is what identity is all about. Gone are the days
I **** todays multicultural society that has been forced upon us. It’s so damn tragic.
Gone and deeply missed but not forgotten.

spunkyderf is correct - the last 8 bars are compressed into 7 bars as I remember.

When I hear our government talk about diversity and multiculturalism, I think to myself, oh bollocks, what has been done to us.
Sad.

On maps British Territories were marked in pink, at one point this was 1/4 edging on 1/3 of the world.

It’s composed so that the orchestra always win. When it gets fast a bar is missed.

You mean the orchestra wanted war and completely tore the audience to pieces? Instruments will always beat people at speed!

The orchestra wanted war, and that’s exactly what we gave them!
