about

There had to be one song here about the slow-motion catastrophe that is Brexit. I suspect that certain people are rather hoping we'd forgotten that it still needs sorting out. Let's just call the whole thing off, okay?

lyrics

The party's over, at least for now
They knew it was stupid but they did it anyhow
Complete disaster, but they're calling it a win
Grabbing what they can before the jackals can move in

On the street and on TV
Masters of kleptocracy
Loudly crowing victory
despite the fact they lost
Brought up to be in command
None of them can understand
The line that we drew in the sand
is well and truly crossed

You bet I'm angry - you would be too
If you could see how those in charge just haven't got a clue
But they're all happy; they won't have to pay the price
Who cares if the country burns, their hedge fund's looking nice

The rich and powerful all share a single lie
Working hard was not the way they built their fortune by
I want to see a world in future that is fair
But that will only happen if the wealthy pay their share

about

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
