A song for the Times written by Dave Bradbury and mySelf

http://youtu.be/EXALr5_nKac

At the vieille bourse you taught me to tango
Our feet on the smooth marble floor
Found each other in another fandango
Our souls set sail, spirits soared

Down the aisles and then through the arches
That are shaped like your curves, and your scent
Of lillies, your pistils a torture I'm sure
No man ever underwent

Let us twirl like a thread on a spindle
A tornado-like gust, as intense
As the spark that has yet to be kindled
And set fire to the old Spanish Inn

Where we sang and drank wine at a table
Watched the old couples while they danced
We sang pour en flirt but weren't able
To remember the words at the end

We waltzed back in storms on the sea shore
With grains of sand in our hands
From a broken old hourglass, now that some time had passed
We danced till the very last end

This is a dance so full of desire
Of my love for you till the end
My soul's set ablaze, my heart's set on fire
I want you, now and again

Let us twirl like a thread on a spindle
A tornado-like gust, as intense
As the spark that has yet to be kindled
And set fire to the old Spanish Inn

Let us sing and drink wine at a table
Watch the old couples while they dance
Let us sing pour en flirt even if we aren't able
To remember the words at the end

Slave Labour, shows a young boy hunched over a sewing machine making Union Jack bunting. It appeared on a wall in Wood Green, north London, May 2012, prior to the Diamond Jubilee. 

The mural by the famous graffiti artist was cut out of the wall in Feb 2013 and was being sold in Miami, despite pleas from people back in Wood Green upset by its disappearance. 

Fine Art Auctions (FAA) featured the art work on the front page of their website ahead of their Modern. They expect Slave Labour to reach between 500,000 (£328,063) and 700,000 (£459,288) at auction.

"Fruits of slave labour"

Don't let them take it away
Painted for us and here it should stay
it's more than just a few bricks in the wall
and Banksy gave it to us all

A celebration of pride and joy
As a joke or a political ploy
This working hero was something to see
And now its gone we still can't agree

"Fruits of slave labour" the boy on his knees
"Fruits of slave labour" has been lost overseas
lost overseas, lost overseas

This art was given for free,
Pointed bunting at the diamond Jubilee
We want it back, and we want it now
This stolen art from London town

Now the story's front page news
Is that what he, himself, would choose
Art auction in Miami vice
And Essex boys will pay the price

"Fruits of slave labour" the boy on his knees
"Fruits of slave labour" has been lost overseas
lost overseas, lost overseas

Won't someone bring it home today 
Won't someone bring it home

"Fruits of slave labour" the boy on his knees
"Fruits of slave labour" has been lost overseas
lost overseas, lost overseas

Lost is Love

Born August 1950 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Moved to L.A. area in the USA in 1973. From there to the Seattle area in 1982 with my wife and several cats. I started playing the guitar around 1960 'cause my sister Imelda started dating Eamon Hughes who played in a "showband' (a very particular Irish phenomenon).Eamon gave my brother Hilary and me our first lessons. What a gift! I'm still earning my living because of it.I have a wide range of musical influences...Everything from 1960 on plus a great affection for Irish folk music,which started when my sister Gabrielle and her boyfriend John Magee took me to see "The Clancy Brothers" I try to include all these genres at my gigs.
