Politician Blues

by Gary O'Dea / GOJO' MUSIC

/

about

Released on Good Friday 2024...in time for an Easter Rising....Reflecting the anger of a population and their distaste of Britain's political system that is a wasteland that has been decimated by 40 odd years of corrupt Neo Liberalism and right wing treachery ...oh and also influenced by the Christy Moore song 'Lingo Politico (I Hate Politicians).

lyrics

POLITICIAN BLUES

Christy said 'I Hate Politicians'...I sang along with every word he said,
A very British Coup, played out in front of you, The Sun it blinded you while you sipped the Devils soup,
And while you danced in your party dress, they've gone and stolen the NHS,
You lost it all at the ballot box...you lost your way and they took the lot.

Their rally cry is 'Omerta of The Libertines'...I curse their tongue and every word they said,
A Liberty they took, without a second look, the old school ties delivering a pack of lies,
Real Patriots shouldn't cower down, to a tarnished flag and a stolen crown,
Citizens are NOT 'subjects of', they are chains that bind you they are NOT 'ties of love'.

Christy sang 'I Hate Politicians So...lingo politico, so the story goes,
Christy sang 'I Hate Politicians So...lingo politico, so the story goes,


Words and Music: Gary O'Dea 2024.

released March 29, 2024
Carrying on the tradition of 'Field Recordings' that Ethonmusicologist Alan Lomax and his father John pioneered in the 30s and 40s that they termed 'Cultural Equity' of Blues and Folk Songwriters and musicians across the United States and Europe including Britain and Ireland. This track has been taken from a series of recordings in this style.

Recorded LIVE on the 23/1/24 in my little upstairs box room using a 1996 Takamine G Series Acoustic Guitar, a Sennheiser E8155 microphone plugged into a 50 Watt Marshall Acoustic amp and recorded onto an Apple i-phone 7...a Lo-fi recording with Hi-hopes and good intentions.
