English football fans can be counted-on to replace their jerseys every 2 years. So here is the refrshed Newcastle jersey, effective August 2007 thru May 2009, when it is sure to be modified again. It has more black this time around, and the crest is in the center of the jersey. A little odd, but hundreds of thousands of fans including Dhalgren will be getting it. It launchges this May, and is available for pre-order from the NUFC online shop.

Before we introduce ourselves, we're going to kick this off right. It's dark, iconic, and a product of both living in Liverpool and watching Vietnam war footage on TV. It's War Pigs.
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turningA
s the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!
