Songs written by Tom Flannelly
-
Let It Pour
–
Written about the current crisis that we all have to endure
today.
'The world and its woes, the crunches and strife’s, constant
clock watching, the city, it's life and it rains, Oh God it
rains.'
-
MacGowan
- Written about the legendary Pogues front man.
'He struggles with his inner demons, so the creative ones get
nourished. A poet whose airs were built on minorities (the
Irish), now a majority flourishes.'
-
Too Rye Aye to the Eighties
–
A lament to the forgotten decade, moving to London and
working the buildings!
'The time came then to make my move, got a big ship to carry
me cross the water To London town where the tough lie down and
the stigmas of the past come back to haunt ya.
-
Bitter End
–
Written about “old dears” that finish their days in care
homes.
'As the daytime turns to dusk then back to dark, locks turn,
the fag's burn, the bells ring but no-one turns. I hum my
favourite song as I'm afraid; these hours to pass, I need help
to get away from this place.'
-
The Boss
–
Written about a brawl in a bar.
'The priest was called to calm us all, his name was Father
Jim, we bowed our heads, he said a prayer as the Black Maria’s
rolled in.'
