Works even better if you imagine Ray Davies singing it, somehow...

This line is the best: There's none we can't conquer, and none we can't screw

Love this, hate the new song on Clatterford (Jam and Jerusalem) like the older version adn now I wish that Torchwood Implemented this new song as a theme and filled up the extra time with pictures of Jack or Ianto. Oh and added PC Andy as a regular!

Thanks for posting!

That's is fab and disturbing in equal measures. And I stand in awe...

I love the original (Kinks for the win!) although don't mind Kate Rusby's version (but then I like Kate Rusby in general).

Sorry if it's going to be haunting you all night, though. ;-)

It really, really did....

Nevermind, it's a good tune.

We actually got the kinks version played to us during a lecture for my post-grad (heritage management you see...)and I've had a real soft spot for it every since/

Oh, thank you Hot Fuzz soundtrack for giving me the original version to corrupt sing along to... (:

Genius, pure genius.

And because I'm too lazy to make two comments - I also love you for your Dead Man Walking rundown. Heartily agree!
