Alt geworden ist er… Aber, das, was ich bisher von seiner ersten Platte seit 1997 gehört habe, klingt echt gut. Und gar nicht so alt… “you are the quarry” erscheint am 17. Mai. Und die erste Single “irish blood, english heart” – ein absolut brillanter Song – am 10. Mai.

Irish blood, English heart
This I’m made of
There is no one on earth I’m afraid of
And no regime can buy or sell me

I’ve been dreaming of a time when
to be English is not to be baneful
to be standing by the flag, not feeling shameful
racist or partial

Irish blood, English heart
this I’m made of
There is no one on earth I’m afraid of
And I will die with both of my hands untied

I’ve been dreaming of a time when
the English are sick to death
of Labour, and Tories
and spit upon the name Oliver Cromwell
and denounce this royal line that still salute him
and will salute him
FOREVER…
