Subject: Lyr Add: THEY'RE TAKING IT AWAY (Ian Robb) From: CupOfTea Date: 03 Feb 18 - 04:41 PM Canadian Ian Robb's brilliant They're Taking It Away covers lots of the points that need making. He's just fine with having it Americanized or modified for specific protests. I've highlighted the changes I made: Chorus Oh, they're taking it away, Yes they're taking it away They are taking all the good things You can hear the people say And they'll take it all tomorrow If they don't take it today From the poor and sick and helpless, They are taking it away. Oh our government's elected in the democratic way A-whining at the cost of all the things they have to pay And the bully-boys on Wall Street, you can hear the bastards say, "To hell with paying taxes, pull the safety-net away!" If you're down upon your luck and need to keep the wolf at bay Just don't rely on welfare or the dole to pay your way For the rich, they have decided not another cent to pay You can whistle for your supper for they've taken it away If you're native, black, or Asian, if you're feminist or gay If you're just a little different from the most of us today If you want to make your point or if you want to have your say You can spit into the wind for they have taken it away If you're battered by your husband and you need a place to stay You'd best get down upon your knees and quickly learn to pray For the women's center's phone was disconnected yesterday And there's no-one left to talk to, now they've taken it away If it's ever your misfortune in a hospital to stay You'd best not be impatient for a bed on which to lay For your health ain't worth the taxes that the healthy have to pay And the beds were too expensive, so they've taken them away Oh there's those that have and those that don't and those that are okay And there's those who understand that fairness is the only way But there's those that are so comfortable they look the other way And they vote for all the villains who would take it all away So if you've health and wealth and wisdom stop and spare a thought today For those who don't and those who can't, there is no other way If we don't get out and vote to save the USA There won't be a Constitution when they take it all away Joanne in Cleveland |

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: GUEST,guest Larry Poole Date: 02 Feb 18 - 11:38 PM Trumpet Hornpipe, See my post about Tea-Rump-A-Turd from a year ago. I learned the tune from a Boston player forty years ago, and had never heard of Captain Pugwash til I tried playing the tune here in a Northern California session last year and was stopped from playing the tune by a local Irish expat who grew up with "Pugwash". For a history of the tune go to TheSession.org: https://thesession.org/tunes/1408, and decide for yourself if it is Irish. At least its not wasting a beloved melody on a pile of shit. Lare |

Subject: Lyr Add: YOU AIN'T MY PRESIDENT From: GUEST,Jack Warshaw Date: 02 Feb 18 - 07:14 PM Hey guys, Woody's "Old Man Trump" (itself spun from "Aint got no Home in this World") has given birth to numerous spin offs including this one, called "You Aint my President" soon to be issued on my next album. The demo is already on Youtube if you can't wait. Number 6 in my arsenal of Trump songs. Use it freely. Folksongs ARE dangerous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ_MLnOEydg You Ain’t My President Jack Warshaw 2017 I can see and I suppose that goddam Trump he shows Just how much hate he sows in the world of human kind When you took that oath of office, right there I knew for sure That this land was not my land any more. Chorus Oh, Mister Trump, you ain’t my President My country’s on the rocks and my soul is badly bent You don’t fool me at all, your pride will see you fall No, no, Mr Trump, you ain’t my President You cheated, lied and stole, to fix those voting polls The promises you made were paid by human souls Now you have the power, you take instead of give You’re using up the country, how can the country live? Chorus You deny the Earth’s in danger, you sponsor greed and waste You want to ban all immigrants of any different faith You think women are just playthings, you crush poor people’s health You think that a person’s dignity is only based on wealth Chorus Fake news is the tool you use to hide the deeds you do But you can’t hide the truth that the biggest fake is you Now everybody knows it, and you will soon be gone Damn you, Mr Trump and the horse you rode in on. Chorus |

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: GUEST,Emdalton Date: 22 Feb 17 - 02:04 AM Let's Drink to the Salt of the Earth (Rolling Stones, though I have the Joan Baez cover in mind) Especially: Raise your glass to the hard working people Let's drink to the uncounted heads Let's think of the wavering millions Who need leading but get gamblers instead Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter Empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows And a parade of the gray suited grafters A choice of cancer or polio |

Subject: Lyr Add: MEAN TALKIN' BLUES (Woody Guthrie) From: GUEST,Joseph Scott Date: 20 Feb 17 - 07:16 PM Woody Guthrie - Mean Talkin' Blues "... I go around a-causin' a lot of accidents, And I push folks down, and I cause train wrecks. I'm a big disaster.... I laugh my loudest when other people cry. Can't help it.... And I'm readin' all the books I can To learn how to hurt.... Well, if I can get the fat to hatin' the lean That'd tickle me more than anything I've seen, Then get the colors to fightin' one another, And friend against friend, and brother, and sister against brother, That'll be just it." Pink Floyd - The Fletcher Memorial Home "Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere And build them a home, a little place of their own. The Fletcher Memorial Home For Incurable Tyrants And Kings. And they can appear to themselves every day On closed circuit T.V. To make sure they're still real. It's the only connection they feel...." |

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 20 Feb 17 - 04:31 PM Larry the Radio Guy: "Taggie Bogle. If you have a YouTube recording of that wonderful Trump song, I'd love to use it on my Musical Therapy radio program. Great lyrics! That Celtic Connections one you posted....unfortunately I'm not able to access it here in Canada." Maybe instead of wanting to bash the president of another country, perhaps you should take up a campaign to fix whatever is screwed up with Canada's freedom of access.... Just a practical thought....

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: Jack Campin Date: 02 Feb 17 - 12:14 PM Try singing Tea-Rump-a-Turd to the Irish Trumpeter's hornpipe I don't recognize those words and I've never heard of the tune. Do you mean the Trumpet Hornpipe aka Captain Pugwash? (if so, I've never heard anyone call it Irish before). |

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: Jack Campin Date: 02 Feb 17 - 11:42 AM I can find three YouTube links to Rosselson's "The Wall That Stands Between", but they all say "This video is not available". Nor can I find it in any other format. Anybody got a public link that works? |

Subject: Lyr Add: BEER FOR MY HORSES (Toby Keith) From: GUEST,Holly Tannen Date: 02 Feb 17 - 02:05 AM Country singer Toby Keith sang this song at Trump's inaugural concert. The concert was reviewed by the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, and the Guardian, and not one of them commented on this song. Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son A man had to answer for the wicked that he done Take all the rope in Texas find a tall oak tree, Round up all them bad boys hang them high in the street For all the people to see... You got to saddle up your boys, you got to draw a hard line When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune And we'll all meet back at the local saloon Donald Trump watches Toby Keith sing "Beer for My Horses" at Trump's inaugural concert, Friday January 19th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc3rPC8HijM "Beer" starts at 7:50. "Round up all those bad boys, hang 'em high in a tree" is at 8:25. |

Subject: Lyr Add: FLOOZIES From: GUEST Date: 02 Feb 17 - 01:59 AM Ooh, I like the Crump one. Here's one I made up ( under the pseudonym Pussygate Galore) and sang at the Women's March in Fort Bragg. Floozies I did not kiss her on the plane I did not kiss her on the train I did not kiss her on the lips I did not grab her by the hips. I did not grope her in a pub I did not grope her at my club I did not push her towards the bed Or any other thing she said. I'll sue them all for telling lies And I will not apologize If stupid floozies cannot see No one respects them more than me. I was not crass, I did not flirt I did not reach beneath her skirt That is a vicious Clinton smear I am the only victim here. She is ugly, she is ill Bet she cheats on Cheatin' Bill I will lock her in a cell With that loudmouth (bleep) Michelle. So that foreign-born Obama Has to do it with a llama I will make them all lament As soon as I am president. Yes, I will make them all repent As soon as I am president. Copywrong 2016 by Pussygate Galore. All rights reversed. Please sing (to any good tune, such as Hernando's Hideaway) and pass it on NO LLAMAS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS SONG |

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: GUEST,Jack Campin Date: 01 Feb 17 - 06:58 PM There is a (very fine but rather hard to sing) song about Israel's wall by Leon Rosselson.

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: GUEST,henryp Date: 01 Feb 17 - 05:05 AM Larry the Radio Guy This is a link to a BBC Radio 3 recording of the opening concert of Celtic Connections 2017. I hope you may be able to access this. Karine Polwart's introduction and song are the first item. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b088jm22 18 days left to listen! Celtic Connections opening night: Glasgow's winter celebration of music from the Celtic world and beyond opens in grand style. Kathryn Tickell is at the city's Royal Concert Hall to introduce a performance by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jules Buckley, joined by leading artists from this year's festival, including Scotland's Katrine Polwart, Rachel Sermanni and Adam Holmes, Saharawi singer Aziza Brahim, Cara Dillon and Declan O'Rourke from Ireland plus, for the whole of the second half, English singer-songwriter Laura Marling. (Recorded on Thursday 19th January at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow). |

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: GUEST,rebelgal Date: 01 Feb 17 - 03:47 AM Here are a few that seem timely to me: A Piece of the Wall (by Charlie King) - About the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and all the walls that still remain to be torn down. Stand Up (by Mike Stern, recorded by Charlie King and Karen Brandow) (based on the words of Pastor Neimeier who said "First they came for the Communists, but I wasn't a communist so I didn't stand up...) Imagine (You Have Healthcare) - parody version of Imagine w/new lyrics by Charlie King. Government on Horseback (by Si Kahn) - Written for the Reagan era, but still sadly relevant. And, as someone else above mentioned, just about anything by Anne Feeney! And just about anything by Roy Zimmerman. And, a traditional song - "Rigs of the Time" (Honesty's all out of fashion, these are the rigs of the time). This one's been haunting me lately. |

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: GUEST,Larry the Radio Guy Date: 01 Feb 17 - 12:03 AM Taggie Bogle.

Subject: Lyr Add: MISTER TRUMP DON'T LIKE IT From: Mark Ross Date: 31 Jan 17 - 04:48 PM From Andy Cohen; Here is what Craig wrote: Mister Trump Don't Like It Mr. Trump don't like it, ain't gonna have it here (x3) No nasty women, nobody trans or queer Mr. Trump don't like it, ain't gonna have it here
I'm told the Scientists all jumped up and began to shout (x3)
I'm told the Doctors and Nurses all jumped up and had a fit (x3)
I'm told the Billionaires turned 'round and began to grin (x3)

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: Tattie Bogle Date: 30 Jan 17 - 06:59 PM Ha, you can't keep a good tune down, especially when the lyrics mention Trump, Trump, Trump! Enjoyed the other song posted by Anonymous! For those in the UK who can get BBCiPlayer, do try to catch Karine Polwart's opening number at the first concert of this year's Celtic Connections: powerful and emotional stuff. (She also wrote an earlier version for when Trump came and destroyed part of the Aberdeenshire coast in pursuit of building his new golf course - as also mentioned in the first verse of my song.)

Subject: RE: Songs For The Age Of Trump From: GUEST, Paul Slade Date: 30 Jan 17 - 02:21 PM I keep thinking of Elvis Costello's Tramp The Dirt Down . It was originally written about Margaret Thatcher and includes this verse: Well I hope I don't die too soon I pray the lord my soul to save Oh I'll be a good boy, I'm trying so hard to behave Because there's one thing I know, I'd like to live Long enough to savor That's when they finally put you in the ground I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down |

Subject: Lyr Add: I WAS BORN ABOUT TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO From: Bev and Jerry Date: 29 Jan 17 - 06:41 PM We've been working up "God Bless the Grass" written by Malvina Reynolds in 1964. Also, there's this one which we wrote and posted on another thread but it seems more appropriate here: I WAS BORN ABOUT TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO (Trump) 1. I was born about ten thousand years ago And there's nothing in this world that I don't know I can handle any crisis, I can even wipe out Isis And I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so 2. I am Satan and immigrants I deplore I want Mexicans and Muslims out the door And from my tower tweetin', the lies I am repeatin' And I swear that I believe 'em to the core 3. I saw Hillary out on the campaign trail And thought I'd never live to tell the tale But I got diabolic and became quite hyperbolic And said I thought she ought to be in jail 4. I heard Samson had very tiny hands I told Columbus that I would own this land And for Ivana's little kiddies, I bought half of New York City And to Atlantic City took my brand 5. I taught Solomon his little A-B-C's I bragged about my own depravities I sometimes went astray shortly past my wedding day And I never even made apologies 6. Then Marla, she fell in love with me We were married owing to her pregnancy But I fooled around and shook her, found Melania like a hooker Then I started up a university 7. I was born about ten thousand years ago And there's nothing in this world that I don't know I'm a climate change denier and a frequent falsifier And I'll lick the guy that say it isn't so Bev and Jerry |
