After the Hole - Lyrics

All I seen is what I thought I would have seen
At the end all I found were other ends

Suddenly I know, you live to know after the hole

On the screech of the city brakes I heard your name
Feel as though we're living in a recurrent dream

Suddenly I know, you live to know after the hole

And the life is after the hole

And the life is after the hole

Strange Part of the Country

After the Hole

Old Irish Drunks - Lyrics

Well he left home one Sligo day and he kept on going until he came to a halt
And they heard nothing of their lost son since London had swallowed him up
Each night he drank himself to sleep in a town where he lived but did not belong
These streets were built by men who came from the earth then covered it up

They built these streets of Cricklewood
They built these streets of Kilburn
They built these streets of Cricklewood
And they built them good
Built them good

Living on the far edge he broke his toes in the High Road cold
His last days he told me how much he loved all he said he hated most

They built these streets of Cricklewood
They built these streets of Kilburn
They built these streets of Cricklewood
And they built them good
Built them good

And all the roads remain
And all the roads remain
And all the roads remain
And all the roads remain

Built them good
Built them good
Built them good
Built them good

In loving memory of Claudio (friend, trumpet & backing vocals). 

This demo includes a track from the time we were learning it together. He loved playing this song on trumpet and joined me with backing vocals, adding some Portuguese in the final chorus to include Brazil in the Latin American rebellion against US domination. 

Unfortunately, we never got to play it live together, but I hope this recording serves as a homage to his kindness and passion.

¡Hasta siempre, compañero!


♫ "El pueblo unido jamás será vencido" ("The people united will never be defeated") was composed by Sergio Ortega and Quilapayún, one of the pioneers of the folk movement known as "Nueva canción chilena" ("New Chilean Song"), and was first recorded in 1970, a few months prior to Allende´s victory in the general election.

📖 On the 11th of September 1973, nowadays referred to as "the other 9/11", Salvador Allende, Marxist and democratically elected president of Chile, died during a coup d'état led by Augusto Pinochet, commander-in-chief of the Chilean Army backed by the US government.


♫ Vocals, guitars, and charango by Columna Connolly.
