Excuse the thread creep but I did enjoy your (I presume it was you!) rendition of "Frida Kahlo's Visit to the Taybridge Bar" - are the lyrics available anywhere? A cursory google search only found me them in Italian.

Michael has web site than can be accessed via the Stoneyport Agency site. Not sure if the lyrics are there but they are on the sleeve notes of his last CD 'Posted Sober'

FRIDA KAHLO'S VISIT TO THE TAYBRIDGE BAR
(c)Michael Marra

We were all flooded with a scarlet light
It came through the window with the rain outside
All went quiet and a vision appeared
With a rose in her hair and a ring in her ear
And she says, "Buenos Dias, boys. This looks like the place
To make my re entry to the human race.
Here I am and here I'll stay
Till it's Hasta La Vista and I'm on my way."
And Vince says, "She was a woman to whom life had been cruel
And she lived with a fat man of the naif school
He liked his beer and he put it about
But she truly loved him till the lights went out,
Then she made her way up to the Pearly Gates.
She saw Saint Peter. He was pumping weights.
He says, 'Hitch a lift upon this falling star
And make your way down to the Tay Bridge Bar.
There'll be no more lies and no more tears,
No more listening through the fat man's ears,
No more tears and no more lies,
No more looking through the fat man's eyes.'
She said she'd never felt so happy in a long long time.
Her mind was relaxed and her body felt fine.
She said, 'Put on, Perdido. Tonight's the night.
I want to dance with Jimmy Howie in the pale moonlight.
There'll be no more lies and no more tears,
No more listening through the fat man's ears,
No more tears and no more lies,
No more looking through the fat man's eyes.'
We were all flooded with a scarlet light."

Bugger! I was planning to get to this one, but I've just realised I'm going to be at the Yorkshire Gathering. Why does good stuff always have to be happening at the same time? Or why can't I be in 2 places at once? Sigh...
