Always On My Mind (Cover)

Written a while back during lockdown...

Vanishing Borders

Prevarication reigns
Somewhere inside but theres nowhere to hide
From sobriety again
Abstenation is no consolation
I dont know this way
You dont know this way
I see the sands of time
Reversing before me
They will not ignore me
I think ive lost my mind
Vanishing borders of Entropic disorder
I dont know this way
Can I stay with you tonight?
I seldom see the light
I dont want to be this way
I can feel decay
I dont want to be this way
I should not be this way
Oh give me a line of coke
We'll roll some midnight tokes
And line 'em up and get 'em in
We'll knock 'em back and sink or swim
I think im lost in time
I think ive lost my mind

Entropy

Vanishing Borders (2024) 1st mix

It's a little song I just wrote, in the style of Eddy Grant:

Well Enda he run the country, but he cocooned inside the Dail

He make a few of his cronies happy, oh, he don' care about de rest at oll

His part don't have a message, they simply don' know where it's at

But with Joanna Burton in oppositian, he's gonna have to mind he back:

[Chorus]

Gimme hope! Joanna Hope! Joanna Hope! Joanna 'fore the marning come

Gimme hope! Joanna Hope! Joanna, hope before de marning come

He got him knotted over Mac Nulty, med-di-cal cards and the HSE

He feel so sad for the homeless folk but he'd rather see the Rose of Tralee

His capital city in ruins, you stop a bullet if you lift your head,

And if you drive a car on the pothole roads, you prob'ly gonna end up dead

[Chorus]

Now he's treble taxin' the old folks, me-dic-al cards are scarce as gold,

He took away their free ESB, now the pensioners gonna feel the cold

He's cocked it up over Irish water, Garda whistleblowers and the tax

But with Joanna bein' in the wings, he really better watch his back

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Bring It on Home To Me (Cover)

This is the ultimate in sad songs. I picked up on this song from veteran Poole Dorset UK singer Ron who had a lovely voice.  We were going to put on a "final" gig for him as his health was gradually deteriorating, but sadly he passed away in 2018 before we got the chance.
Maybe swap the second "could" for "should" . . .
