The next song has got one of the greatest lyrics, it`s a bit "Uptoned", but in my opinion it`s a great parody to the typical idiot american:

and the last song, it`s from the record "Year Zero", the main theme of the CD talks about how life will be in the next years, and how f*** up the world will be if we go on acting this way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr8FXnur5Z4 here it`s and interview with Trent Reznor about the CD), this lyric, for what i understand talks about a strange force that comes to erase the world because of humans` atitude, it`s an anthem xD

"A taste of Honey"
As regards to the play that we are reading " A taste of honey" i found several videos on youtube, here it is the link of one of the videos i found suitable to show since the others have scenes which have unknown content (because we haven't reached that part and i really got upset when i saw them ¬¬)

In this short video it appears Jo at her school. She talks to some of her classmates and then she go to her house. I hope you like it. ^^
When Shelagh Delaney began working on A Taste of Honey, she intended the material to be a novel; but instead, in what has become a very famous story, Delaney became disgusted at the lack of substance found in plays currently being produced for the stage and decided to rework her fledgling novel into a play. It took her two weeks. A Taste of Honey opened at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East in London on May 27, 1958. On February 10, 1959, Delaney's play moved to Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, and on October 4, 1960, the play opened on Broadway at New York City's Lyceum Theatre. Delaney's play opened to mixed reviews.
In many cases, her characters were praised for their honest, realistic voices. The play was also singled out for its accurate depictions of working class lives. Yet there was also concern that too much praise for the play's nineteen-year-old author would make it difficult for her to ever create another hit play, the theory being that early success might prove so intimidating that she could never live up to her first accomplishment. In a sense, this is what happened, since Delaney never wrote another play that achieved the success of A Taste of Honey. However, this first play did earn several awards, including the Charles Henry Foyle New Play award in 1958 and the New York Drama Critics Award in 1961. The film version won the British Academy Award for best picture in 1961 and a best supporting actress award for Dora Bryan. The film also won two additional awards at the Cannes Film Festival in 1962 for best actor (Murray Melvin) and best actress (Rita Tushingham). Much of the credit for the play's success is attributed to Joan Littlewood, whose experimental Theatre Workshop first received and produced the play.
