So get this... the ghost of Sir Winston came to me in a dream and before I could adjust my flannelette pyjamas he starts melodramatically hopping around the room and ranting like no one's business.

I'm like, "what on earth are you doing? I'm trying to sleep you raging pillock".

And he's like, "Shut it ya daft tit. The world's going to the fish 'n' chippers and I've written a protest song that I'd rather like you to record for me you limey Jackson Pollock"

So half asleep I say "what happened to the other Sir?"

And he said, "Never you mind that other Sir laddie! Get into yer studio and get thee cooking. There's a world to save."

"Okay", I said. I'll invoice you when it's done."

This is a song that was written in reaction to the embarrassingly sanctimonious bleating of US politician and Trump stooge, Ron De Santis, decrying every instance of human compassion, decency and warmth, as a despicable symptom of 'woke'.

The irony wasn't lost on me that these are the very same people who swear every last craven 'thought and prayer' to a deity who stood so stoically and unambiguously for the values of compassion that repulse them to their frozen and utterly rotten, cruel cores.

It is ultimately best thought of as a song that reaches from beyond the grave to kick Donald Trump squarely in the 'bone spurs'.

These are the lyrics of said melodic missive >

Jesus Was Woke
Words & Music by The Ghost of Sir Winston
Copyright © 26 December 2022

Intro

Verse 01		

Jesus was woke
Yeah he was that kind of bloke
Yeah Jesus was okay
If you were a gay
In fact he liked the occasional poke

Verse 02		

Jesus was woke
And he was frequently broke
But he didn’t lust for things
Or mountains of bling
‘Cause he knew that it was all a sick joke
Yeah Jesus was woke
 
Chorus 01	

To all the thieves in the temple
There is no afterlife
You’re not going to go to heaven
No matter what the asking price

Oooh -----

Verse 03		

Jesus was woke
Yeah he was all kinds of dope
Yeah he’d bring the good times
Turning water to wine
And he was down for the occasional toke
‘Cause Jesus was woke

Chorus 02	

To all the thieves in the temple
There is no afterlife
You’re not going to go to heaven
No matter what the asking price

To all the thieves in the temple
Make kindness great again
Yeah lay down your guns
For all your daughters and sons
And let me hear some real amens

Oooh -----

Verse 04		

‘Cause Jesus was woke
And when it came to the croak
Well he didn’t lie down
With his thorny crown
Hell no he came back with a magical cloak
‘Cause Jesus was woke

Chorus 03	

To all the thieves in the temple
Trump’s a lying piece of shit 
The election wasn’t stolen
And the sky it hasn’t fallen
No matter how you try to spin it

To all the thieves in the temple
Jesus sees behind your veil
Despite your mountains of wealth
He can see that you’re all filth
And that your whole life is an epic fail

‘Cause Jesus was woke

Outro

Oh so woke x 8

PAROLES - LETRAS - LYRICS :

Desmond has his barrow in the marketplace
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly, "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweller's store (choo-choo)
Buys a twenty-carat golden ring (ring)
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her, she begins to sing (sing)

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones (ha-ha-ha-ha)
Happy ever after in the marketplace
Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band, yes

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on (yeah)
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones (ha-ha-ha-ha), yeah
Happy ever after in the marketplace
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band, yeah

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on (yeah)
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on

And if you want some fun
Take ob-la-di-bla-da
Thank you !

While I'm on the Beatles. I think that this one is my most ambitious take yet.  Very hard to get the key proper and transpose everything to that correct key which I still can't find. Plus my vocals end up sounding similar to what it would sound like if Ozzy sang this song.

Another check off of all the Beatles song I've always wanted to cover.

PAROLES - LETRAS - LYRICS :
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go? I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long
For yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go? I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long
For yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go? I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long
For yesterday

The whole goal is not to overproduce. It needs to sound like a few kids jamming in a garage
I play all instruments on all tracks except when my daughter Megan fills in on vocals, or my brother-in-law Javier sits in on bass once in a while.

--------
un jour je partirai,
au-delà des mers,
au-delà des saisons,
au delà du coeur,
de ses mortifères raisons.

les souvenirs resteront,
avec eux, ce qu'il y de plus beau,
ce qu'il y a de plus fou,
ce qu'il y a de plus triste...

ne pleurez pas.
soyez joyeux, 
soyez heureux,

après tout, 
l'amour est là,

c'est le principal...

Peace & Love for All
