Subject: RE: Passive agressive songs
I guess ot overtly aggressive but still undermiining someone. Sorry guest here is the Johnny McEvoy bit from long long before youre time.

One lovely year was all we had
Until the sickness came
And stole the roses from her cheeks
My tears they fell like rain
For nine long months she carried you
But in the end she died
She chose to go so you might live long
Long before your time

Overtly the song is a love song but there is this accusatory verse in there.

Glasgow lullaby is also Eric Bogle's: "Hush, now, babbie, yer daddie's comin' in".
