This Manifesto
This song was written after the funeral of the Celtic Tiger and around the same time that Bertie Ahern was trying to tell people that he won the money on the horses. I thought we should have had a revolution back then. We didn't. We got Biffo instead. Very nice. Limos at Heathrow. The bubble bursts. Rathcormac is like a mini Knocknaheeeny with the infrastructure of Boolabwee. The banks collapse. Still no revolution. We have to pay for the banks. Unemployment rises. We're fucked. We have to pay for being fucked. Still no revolution. Revelations that politicians have been riding us for years. No revolution. Plans to cut social welfare. No problem. Plans to increa

Two Hyundai Family
On the street where I live in Mainz there is a house with two Hyundais parked outside. One is a big four-wheel-drive people carrier thingy and the other is a hatchback. I walk by every morning on my way to the bus stop. I probably walked by for several years until I noticed that the two cars belonged to one family. One morning, as the sun was rising, the truth dawned. Ride me sideways. They have two Hyundais. What the fuck? I have to write a song. Quick. Here's what I wrote: Get in the car with Grandma, baby I'm taking the dog with me Drive to the park to go for a walk Then we'll drive back home for tea

Internet Addict
I didn't know until recently that there was such a thing as IAD (Internet Addiction Disorder). There seems to be a Disorder for everything these days. Except for inventing new disorders! Anyway, according to Wikipedia, this Disorder can be divided into subtypes by activity, such as "excessive viewing of pornography, overwhelming and excessive gaming, inappropriate involvement in online social networking sites or blogging, and Internet shopping addiction". What? No subtype for talking shite? That article so needs to be edited. Anyway, I can kind of understand ho

Locked In The City
Let's start with a little vocabulary training: Where I come from, the word "Locked" is a slang word which means "drunk". In Cork, the word "Langer" is a slang word which means "penis" and is commonly used as a derogatory term, as in "Go away ya Langer". The plural, however, means "drunk", as in "Jayses, I was fair Langers last night, boy". The Grand Parade is a street in Cork. A Garda van is an Irish police vehicle. There are, of course, many other slang words for being drunk such as "Flaming", "Stocious", "Paralyti
