I guess the recession song that always sticks in my mind - apart from being one of my favourite tracks, must be:

 

The Specials - One in Ten

 

And we must be fast approaching that figure!!!!???? Again!

 

And although I'm no great fan - surely the Hon. Mr. Billy Bragg must have recorded several tracks that could be applied here!

 

 

:(

Cheers!
