> Fuck The Government, I Love You
--------------------------------------------------
We met at the New Years Party of my vegetarian friend.
I said I was studying English, I told you I was in a band
I asked what the band was called, I said it’s called The Burning Hell
I said I’ve never heard of you, I said that’s probably just as well

Just to make conversation I told you about a dream I had in which Jean Baudrillard was rapping with Public Enemy
Shouting “don’t believe the hyperreal” with Flava Flav and Chuck D
And I said I think we might have a lot in common then, possibly, 
Because I’m also a musician and also a student of hip-hoposophy

You mentioned you used to play the clarinet in high school in the early years of the millennium when you were young
And you said you’re hired, the pay is negligible, and the tour starts next month
You asked what I was working on, I said I’m writing an album of love songs
I laughed and said love songs are dumb, and I said oh yeah, wait til you hear these ones

Pass the wine, fuck the government, I love you
Three statements overheard at once in the crowded room
But I could not be sure which one had come from you
So I passed you the wine and said yes, fuck the government, I love you too.

Though neither of us are accomplished dancers we danced a little bit
My vegetarian friend was playing the hits of Will Smith, and we got jiggy with it
There on the dance floor, the living room dance floor, that’s when it happened
You stole my heart, I stole a kiss, we stole someone else’s gin by accident

At some point we got cornered by an amateur poet neither of us knew
Either he had no one else to talk to or just couldn’t pick up simple social cues
Step by step we backed away until we backed up all the way into the bathroom together
We told the poet that we always go together ‘cause that’s what happens when you’ve been dating forever

We stayed in there for ages hoping the amateur poet would go, it was awkward
We came out and found he’d discovered someone else to bother,
And suddenly it was midnight and auld lang syne time and countdowns and gratuitous public making out
And we started shouting because everyone else was shouting and isn’t it fun to shout?

Where Has My Love Gone

Marc Ribot - Fat Man Blues

Barrule's take on the tune that inspired the Manx national anthem.  Mylecharaine's March is a traditional Manx tune normally played for a dance involving a group of men.  Wielding gorse sticks, they stomp about hitting sticks and finish the dance by 'chopping off the head' of the fiddle player...

The unique sound of traditional Manx music is the Celtic World’s best kept secret. This is set to change with the introduction of Barrule, an exciting new power trio hellbent on taking the Isle of Man’s music to a much wider audience. 

Named after the famous Manx summit, where legend says the ancient Celtic God Manannán MacLir stalked his mighty fortress, Barrule fuses three distinct musical forces - gifted 19 year-old fiddle-player Tomás Callister, accordion wizard Jamie Smith (of Mabon) and Adam Rhodes (Mabon and Manx band King Chiaullee) on bouzouki. Together this versatile acoustic unit create a powerful and wholly distinctive sound.

With bold but sensitive arrangements, Barrule's fresh take on traditional and contemporary Manx music evokes an atmosphere that speaks of the natural beauty of the island and the lives of its inhabitants.  Their debut album, self-titled 'Barrule', showcases a diverse collection of material from rousing marches, jigs and reels, to sorrowful slow airs and beautiful songs sung in the Manx Gaelic language.  Follow their rise online via the website where you can listen to and buy the new album.
