Still got the blues (by Gary Moore) Acoustic

I hope I don't loose some followers or offend my friends from the USA, but if I do, I'll live with it.
I took a long time to choose a suitable piece to set this to. It may be too subtle, and the writing not subtle enough

La Casa Blanca
There were two Bush's in La Casa Blaca
Please forgive me if I don't use the Lingua Franca
But there's someone listening on the phone, and the Internet too.
Relax, You have nothing to fear, as long as you only say what they want to hear
You can still visit the land of the free
If you give them your prints, an eye scan, and a detailed history
They'll even let you fly, if, you're a certified ally

There were two Bush's in La Casa Blanca
Please forgive me if I don't use the Lingua Franca 
But exercising free speech can be harmful to your health
If you're not supporting, Patriotic control by stealth
Hey, we've seen the like of you before
Yeah, right before every damn war
It's always the little men, that control the pen, that re-writes history

There were two Bush's in La Casa Blanca
Please forgive me if I don't use the Lingua Franca
But I only sing original songs
I don't do Rendition, even with my back against the wall
Anyway, I hear flying with a bag on your head is just no fun at all
They tell me water boarding Can be fun, some soothing relief from the blistering sun
You know, in the home of the brave they never count the foreign dead
Not on the battle field or those bombed in their bed

There were two Bush's in La Casa Blanca
Please forgive me if I don't use the Lingua Franca
But I hear Cuba is hot this time of year, and my wife would miss me if they made me Disappear 
Where have all the Poor boys gone?
Off to war every one. 
To spill their blood on foreign soil, to fertilize those Bush's with some more cheap oil
There Are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq
But don't worry, they're going back, back to the land of the free
Can't happen fast enough for me

There were two Bush's in La Casa Blanca
Did you Really think the world was goin' to thank ya!

La Casa Blanca ( an original poem set to music - anti-war)

Perfect (live)

I am a wedding guitarist. I play some classical and modern stuff. I love old jazz standards, ballads, and anything that showcases the guitar. 
All feedback is appreciated.
I am Irish originally , but now live in the south of Spain. 
I teach beginner/intermediate guitar, and play at Weddings and events. I also make videos of nature sights and sounds, some with my original compositions.
Soundcloud has been an amazing experience for me - apart from the incredible artists I have found here, I have found new friends with a common interest and when you live in a remote area with no neighbors, that is more important than you can imagine.
Thank you soundcloud for opening up a new world for me and thousands of others.
Thank you for visiting my page!
If I don't follow you it is not because your music isn't great, I am in my 50's and some genres are beyond my experience or ability to evaluate. I also won't follow if you have not listened to anything I've uploaded, or, if your total number of comments is less than your number of followers. I believe Sonundcloud is a place to share and to give and receive feedback. If you only want listeners or numbers, there are lots of others who will do follow swaps, and never visit your page. :-) Mark
