I just love it when we get new songs from new Mudcatters! Everybody say hello to The Crazy Bird -- and please go and enjoy two songs of his that I just put in the Songbook -- Hearts of Glory (in the Songs of Inspiration category) and Crazybird! (which explains where his Mudcat name comes from).

Looks like we've got another very talented songwriter in the family -- So, when does the party start? *BG*

Well, Ancient Amergin ;-) -- your beautiful, beautiful Silent Voices is now (proudly) installed in the Songbook. Thanks yet again for another excellent effort!

And my dear darlin' Bard of the Fam, your wonderful and ear-ticklin' Protest Neurosis! is also now in the Tome. This should be required therapy for drivers afflicted with road rage ;-) Don't get mad, get a song!

Hugs and snogs to you both, Áine

Protest Neurosis!

(Tune To Be Determined)

Codwallop left of me, codwallop right!.
 Codwallop twisted from black into white.
 Codwallop passed on from parent to child,
 Thinking as muddy as crocs on the Nile.

 Rich with illogic, and rife with disparity;
 You'd think no-one ever learned thinking with clarity!
 Facts which aren't factual (none can assess them)
 Sins which aren't harmful (but folks still confess them.)

 Thinking so muddled it could lead to perdition,
 Romantic nonsense and pretend intuition;
 Jusifications, and logical flaws
 'Til you will swear that there oughta be laws!

 Blatant insanity, crazy but lawful;
 Newsprint reporters whose thinking is awful;
 Mixed up religions, and loony-bin teachers
 Folks center stage who should stay in the bleachers!

Demented morals and schemes to enforce them!
Psychotic hubbies and wives who divorce them!
Icons ridiculous, of gods who love peepees!
Neurotic housewives, dramatic and weepy!

Mad politicians, with schemes so self-serving!
Management plans which are veering and swerving!
Drool-bait for telly, and jail-bait for fun...
Welcome to Earth, the third rock from the sun!

Dear Micca has written na focail
"Send them in?," says he, biting his knuckle
"Ach mo chroí," says a chara
"You should and you oughta,"
"Be they happy or sad, breá or trucail!"

-- Áine (who's missed you mightily, and is wondering how's the garden this time of year...)

Starting a new 'Additions' thread, since Part VIII was getting a bit long. So, put your tracer on this one for the next little while to submit songs to or check for new ones in The Mudcat Songbook.

There's another song by our Amergin in the Songbook this morning. And it's to one of my favourite tunes, too. Everyone please take a look at Come Ye Back, My Love, and sing away. Great lyrics, Amergin!

All the best, Áine
