Track Description
Available in:
"Illegal Attacks" was released as the album's lead single on 8 October 2007 and was a contentious track, dealing head-on with the political issues of the day. Sinéad O'Connor is featured as a guest vocalist on the track. The opening notes of the song are plucked softly in arpeggios, which are juxtaposed with the confrontational opening line, "So what the fuck is this UK?" The song then pulses with an ominous, grinding cello, and culminates with Ian Brown pleading earnestly for the return of British soldiers to their homeland:

"Soldiers, soldiers come home Soldiers come home"

When the song was played on BBC Radio 1 during the Top 40 countdown, the song was preceded by an announcement, claiming that Brown's views did not necessarily reflect those of the BBC. Its peak position on the UK Singles Chart was number 16.
