Jesus Gregor, you really sank into The Blues

Well, Jesus Christ I know that he was not a lot older than me when he claimed to be all of those things he claimed to be But don't try to say that I don't admire the man that they all called a liar it's just that dying is a big responsibility & I know that if it was on me & I didn't think that I would make it out of my 30s the job description that would come to me would probably not be 'Carpenter'

Didn't anybody ever tell you where to find that old Qur'an 'cause I I Don't have the time to tell you now I've got the Ramadan Blues The Ramadan Blues I've got the Ramadan Blues Talkin' Ramadan Blues Sun is high in the sky but it warms me none I'm a thief and a spy, but at least I'm a solid one Wa-ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo Forty days and forty nights we ride the Ferriss Wheel & I I know you do too I've got the Ramadan Blues The Ramadan Blues I've got the Ramadan Blues Talkin' Ramadan Blues Sun is high in the sky but it warms me none I'm a thief and a spy, but at least I'm a solid one Wa-ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo Forty days and forty nights we ride the Ferriss Wheel & I I know you do too It's a hard way to go

You don't have a lot of songs in your heart but you don't charge for the ones that you find but the wolves have got the scent on your clothes and they know and the ink is running down your arms Where'd you go? and how long have you been gone? You don't have a lot of fear in your eyes but bring her up and you'll bring it all out and I can't say enough to you in my mind to make it seem like you're around Where'd I go? and how long have I been gone? Well, wherever it was It rained so hard, I forgot who I was thought I was a bird on the road, getting killed by cars made of howling steel all studded with stars and it rained so hard the whole damn town sank into the sea I don't have a lot of love in my life but lord, I've got a lot of pills Where'd I go? and how long have I been gone? Well, wherever it was It rained so hard, I forgot who I was thought I was a bird on the road, getting killed by cars made of howling steel all studded with stars and it rained so hard the whole damn town sank into the sea Shirley, oh Shirley, surely you know that there ain't no time to be wasting and even if we had that time surely now wouldn't be the time to be wasting that time Don't close the lid on me, I Won't close the lid on you (x2) Casey, oh Casey, in case you don't know We've got another joint to be casing and even if we had that dough we wouldn't really have that dough Don't close the lid on me, I Won't close the lid on you (x2) Amanda, Amanda, a man doesn't know how many steps he'd be taking to walk across the waves to you walk across the waves and start wasting your time Don't close the lid on me, I Won't close the lid on you (x2) Well, wherever I was I wrote you a note out of cuttlefish bone tried to sing it to you, but my throat was on loan and all of the well-known nobodies went home and it rained so hard the whole damn town sank into the sea Into the sea

Thanks a million to Alex Borwick, who recorded about half the stuff at the School of Music in Dublin.
Another million goes to Arty Pawsey (and his flatmates), who supported me through the recording like only a best friend can.
