The group played an important role in establishing heavy metal and making it more prominent.

Often thought of as a cross between Black Sabbath (due to their plodding, molten-heavy riffs) and Rush (due to their singer's high-pitched, Geddy Lee-esque wail), the somewhat obscure British metal outfit Budgie has influenced countless outfits, despite enduring countless lineup shifts throughout their history. The group originally formed in 1967 in Cardiff, Wales, comprised of members Burke Shelley (vocals, bass), Tony Bourge (guitar), and Raymond Phillips (drums), and by the early '70s, they'd inked a deal with MCA Records. This early lineup remains Budgie's most definitive, due to the fact that it spawned three of the group's finest albums — 1971's self-titled debut, 1972's Squawk, and 1973's Never Turn Your Back on a Friend — while the group's quirky song titles became somewhat of a trademark for the trio (such ditties as Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman, Hot as a Docker's Armpit, In the Grip of a Tyrefitter's Hand, and You're the Biggest Thing Since Powdered Milk). For fans of early Sabbath, the aforementioned three discs are a must-have.

Despite building a sizeable following in their homeland (while never breaking out of cult status stateside), Phillips left the group prior to their fourth album, 1974's In for the Kill!, replaced by newcomer Pete Boot, which would in turn set off a flurry of steady lineup changes over the years for the group (the only constant Budgie member from the beginning was Shelley). Further releases were issued throughout the '70s, including 1975's Bandolier, 1976's If I Were Brittania I'd Wave the Rules, and 1978's Impeckable, but each appeared to be less inspired than its predecessor. With the emergence of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement (Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, etc.), interest in Budgie appeared to be rekindled once more in England, as Budgie headlined the Reading Festival in 1980 and 1982, in addition to issuing such albums as 1980's If Swallowed Do Not Induce Vomit and Power Supply, 1981's Nightflight, and 1982's Deliver Us from Evil.

Shelley and company would remain together for a few more years before splitting up quietly by the mid-'80s (ex-members Bourge and Phillips would unite in a new group called Tredegar, issuing a lone self-titled release in 1985). But almost as soon as they disbanded, several high-profile groups began covering Budgie classics, including Metallica ("Crash Course in Brain Surgery" and "Breadfan"), Iron Maiden ("I Can't See My Feelings"), and Soundgarden ("Homicidal Suicidal"), while back in their early club days Van Halen was known to cover the title track from In for the Kill! Budgie reunited for sporadic live gigs throughout the '90s (while past members formed the similarly styled outfits Six Ton Budgie and Boot66), resulting in several archival collections being issued: the best-of compilations An Ecstasy of Fumbling: The Definitive Anthology (a double-disc set) and Best of Budgie (a single disc), as well as the live sets Heavier Than Air: Live on the BBC and We Came We Saw (the latter of which featured selections from both of their Reading Festival appearances in the early '80s). ~ Greg Prato

Justice
Budgie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't want to talk with you no more
Don't want to shut that door on you
Only want to stop what's causing this commotion

This ain't a case of pick and choose
It's more about if you win or lose
This is the way, it's not about my emotions

Love, hope, peace, justice

I'm sick and tired of what I see
I've found another way to be
Cos everything I see is blighted, or it's rusted

I'll take a chance and turn away
I'm giving up on you today
Cos if I don't I know I will be busted

Love, hope, peace, justice

Overall Meaning

The song "Justice" by Budgie is a vehement, impassioned call for justice, love, hope and peace. The opening lines "Don't want to talk with you no more, Don't want to shut that door on you, Only want to stop what's causing this commotion" indicate that the singer is deeply unhappy with a particular situation or individual, and wants to put an end to the ongoing conflict. However, it is made clear that this isn't a matter of the singer making a choice between two options - it's about winning or losing. "This ain't a case of pick and choose, It's more about if you win or lose, This is the way, it's not about my emotions."

The repeated phrase "Love, hope, peace, justice" is a declaration of intent, as if the singer is reminding themselves of the things that they are fighting for. The chorus is both powerful and concise. By repeatedly hammering four simple words, Budgie evokes a sense of solidarity and steely determination. The song lyrically seems to suggest that the world is in disarray, but the singer is ready to make a change. "I'm sick and tired of what I see, I've found another way to be, Cause everything I see is blighted or it's rusted." The pre-chorus reveals that the singer has abandoned the person or thing that was causing their distress. "I'll take a chance and turn away, I'm giving up on you today, Cause if I don't I know I will be busted."

Overall, "Justice" is a song that seems to call to listeners on a visceral level. It is an incitement to action, a challenge to take a stand against injustice and apathy. The song's driving beat and powerful vocals make it ideal for pumping up an activist crowd or inspiring a listener to take action in their own personal life.
