Fire on the Water (Paddy Nash)
HOW CAN I LET YOU CONDEMN EVERYTHING I TRY TO DEFEND THEN DISAPPEAR JUST LIKE A THIEF AS I STAND WOUNDED IN DEFEAT
WITHSTAND WITHDRAW RESTORE WAIT FOR THE SIRENS ROAR AND QUESTION HOW I CAME TO BE IN MY OWN HEART A REFUGEE
THERE’S FIRE ON THE WATER AND I’M TRYING TO STAY UNDER I AM NEARLY GHOST MANNING A SINKING BOAT
THERE’S SNOW UP ON THE MOUNTAIN AND IT’S ONLY ME WHOS COUNTING ON AN AVALANCHE TO STAND ANY CHANCE
I WILL REBUILD THIS HOME A FORTRESS HALE AND BOLD FOR WHEN YOU PLAN YOUR NEXT ATTACK I WILL BE READY TO STRIKE BACK

BALLAD OF A NOBODY (Paddy Nash)
I WAS BORN ON APRIL 11TH WAY BACK IN 1954 HISTORY DOES RECORD THIS WAS THE SLOWEST AND MOST BORING NEWS DAY IN THE WORLD
I CAME OUT AT 7LB 6 OUNCES MY MOTHER FATHER DOCTOR ALL AGREED WHEN THEY CUT THE CORD AND PUT ME IN THE CRADLE THERE WAS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME
THERES NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME THE MIDDLE CHILD IN A GREAT BIG FAMILY I NEVER HAD ENOUGH BUT STILL I NEVER HAD IT ROUGH THERE AINT NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME
AT 16 I WORKED IN A FACTORY AND HERE I AM TO THIS VERY DAY FOLDING CLOTHES AND PACKING THEM IN BOXES HOPING A PROMOTION COMES MY WAY
IT WAS THERE I MET MY DARLING MARY SHE SEWS THE BUTTONS ON THE SECOND FLOOR THE MOMENT THAT WE MET I KNEW WE’D MARRY THERE WAS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT HER
THERES NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME A PARASITE SUCKING AIR FOR FREE I’VE GOT NO REDEEMING FEATURES DON’T OWN NO EXOTIC CREATURES THERE AINT NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME
WHEN MARY GAVE BIRTH TO OUR FIRST CHILD SHE SAID MICHAEL I THINK WE’LL CALL HIM JIM WE BOTH KNEW WHAT THE OTHER ONE WAS THINKING THERE WAS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT HIM
THERES NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME ANOTHER FART FLOATING IN THE BREEZE I’VE NEVER BEEN TO PRISON OR APPEARED ON TELEVISION THERE AINT NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY STORY AND TO ANYONE OF YOU WHO CAN RELATE REMEMBER THE GRAVEYARDS FULL OF HERORES AND YOUR SUPERSTARS ARE HEADING THE SAME WAY
THERE’S NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME JUST TRYING TO DO MY BEST FOR MY FAMILY NEVER WON NO TROPHIES OR NO PRIZES I COME IN DIFFERENT COLOURS SHAPES AND SIZES THERE AINT NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME
THERES NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME A TINY LITTLE SPEC IN THE GALAXY IVE NEVER BROKEN A WORLD RECORD OR SLEPT WITH ROBERT REDFORD THERE AINT NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ME

A wee song celebrating the Life of me Da. Jimmy "Cush" Nash
Cushialitee (Paddy Nash)
Sitting on the wall of his fresh cut garden looking like a movie star He pulls another parkdrive from the pack I watch him contemplate the weather staring into the great blue yonder Waiting for his pigeons to come back
What do you hear what do you say Cushialitee
He pulls away in his Hillman hunter chugging like an old choke train I catch him up and jump in the passenger side We’re heading down to Fiorentinis for fish & chips and cups of ice-cream Saturday is Jimmy Cagney night
And he drinks strong tea from a mug that reads WO GREA ST DA
Then on a cold march night his leading lady up and passed away It broke him like a wrecking ball inside For all she left was vague reminders so he decided to go and find her On that big red carpet in the sky
People Before Profit 597 days old downloaded: 666 times
The Campaign Song for Eamonn McCann for Westminster written by Paddy Nash, Jonny Nutt and Diane Greer. We got 3000 votes which increased our vote by 80%. But this is just the beginning.
PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT
WATER WATER EVERYWHERE FLOWS IN OUR RIVERS FALLS FROM THE AIR YOU’D THINK THAT WE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH TO SHARE BUT NOW THEY’RE GONNA MAKE US PAY
MONEY MONEY DISAPPEARS FOR THE WORKING MAN WHO’S SAVED FOR YEARS AND THE BANKERS HAVE IT COMING OUT OF THEIR EARS HOW WE GONNA MAKE IT CHANGE
CHORUS
YOU PUT THE PEOPLE BEFORE THE PROFIT YOU PUT THE NEED BEFORE THE GREED AND YOU FIND A NEW DIRECTION BEYOND THE ORANGE AND THE GREEN
LIARS LIARS AT YOUR DOOR CHALKING UP THE VOTES KEEPING SCORE WITH THE SAME OLD LINES YOU’VE HEARD BEFORE DO THEY EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME
SHAME SHAME ON THE POWERS WHO PREACH SO HARD ABOUT THE FAMILY AND WHEN A MOTHER CANT GET THE HELP SHE NEEDS THEY ARGUE OVER WHO’S TO BLAME
REPEAT CHORUS
SEE THESE VORACIOUS POLITICIANS ALL THEY SHOULD RUN FOR IS THEIR LIVES BUT IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE YOU CAN ELECT YOU CAN DECIDE
TO PUT THE PEOPLE BEFORE THE PROFIT TO PUT THE NEED BEFORE THE GREED TO FIND A NEW DIRECTION BEYOND THE ORANGE AND THE GREEN

BAREFOOT IN VERONA (Paddy Nash)
WHAT’S THAT YOU SAID ABOUT FEELINGS SOMETHING ABOUT THEM GETTING HURT YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT I WAS CLIMBING THE TREES WHILE YOU WERE DISHING OUT THE DIRT
WHAT’S THAT YOU SAID ABOUT LEAVING SOMETHING ABOUT A LIFE TO FIND YOU BETTER PULL THE DOOR SHUT COS THERE’LL BE NOBODY LEFT BEHIND
I’LL BE WALKING BAREFOOT IN VERONA I’LL BE DANCING SHAPES IN TIMBUKTU SINGING ON THE STREETS OF BARCELONA NOT WORRYING ABOUT YOU NOT WORRYING ABOUT YOU
I USE TO THINK YOU WERE FEARLESS A REGULAR JESSIE JAMES BUT WHEN I PULLED THE ACE FROM MY SLEEVE YOU CHICKENED OUT OF THE GAME
SO FARE THEE WELL TO THE GOOD OLD BOYS AND TO THE SUMMER OF LOVE YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS BUT YOU WERE NEVER BIG ENOUGH
I’LL BE WALKING BAREFOOT IN VERONA I’LL BE DANCING SHAPES IN TIMBUKTU SINGING ON THE STREETS OF BARCELONA NOT WORRYING ABOUT YOU NOT WORRYING ABOUT YOU
YOU CAN KEEP THE TV AND THE RECORDS YOU CAN KEEP THE DIRTY CLOTHES IF ANYBODY ASKS YOU ABOUT ME TELL THEM THAT ALL YOU KNOW
IS THAT I’M WALKING BAREFOOT IN VERONA AND I’M DANCING SHAPES IN TIMBUKTU SINGING ON THE STREETS OF BARCELONA NOT WORRYING ABOUT YOU NOT WORRYING ABOUT YOU NOT WORRYING ABOUT YOU

I WAS WALKING BY THE PLACE WE USED TO MEET FOR A COFFEE TWICE A WEEK AND I GOT TO THINKING I WAS MISSING OUT BUT YOU WEREN’T MISSING ME NEARLY PHONED BUT IT’S COMPLICATED SO I JUST SAT THERE AND WAITED FOR YOU
FOR A WHILE I DID SURVIVE ALL THE PAIN YOU PUT ME THROUGH BUT NOBODY TOLD ME THAT IT’S JUST A DIFFERENT SHADE OF BLUE MAYBE I SHOULD WRITE A BOOK ALL ABOUT THE LOVE YOU TOOK FROM ME
CHORUS
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD IS WHERE YOU SLEEP THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD IS WHERE YOU KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM ME
IN THE DAYS OF GREEN AND PURPLE HOLDING HANDS AND SINGING OUT OF TUNE STOLEN NIGHTS ON STONY BEACHES TELLING SECRETS TO THE MOON ASKED ME TO WAIT FOR YOU WELL THERE’S NOTHING ELSETO DO THESE DAYS
