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.'

 

  • Tommy Tommy Inspired by Tom's wife.

'Take my hand come on dance with me, We'll share a glass; we'll be on our own, it's easy come on dance with me, Tommy Tommy.

 

 

  • 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.'
