Kaisfatdad says 07/05/2026 at 20:40 It is probably not Mike’s finest hour, but right now we can’t have too many protest songs. OK. To be honest, it’s a bit too tuneful. I want a lot more anger. Here’s how to do it. Log in to Reply

retropath2 says 08/05/2026 at 07:24 Hmm, heartfelt but overall a tad flimsy. Nice keyboards. I dare say it will buff up nicely live, mind. Log in to Reply

Uncle Wheaty says 10/05/2026 at 20:12 I love The Waterboys as my favourite band but he is just re-writing old songs now with new lyrics. Time too retire. As I did in March aged 60. I am tired of the corporate world. Log in to Reply

You saw the arsehole buffoon…
Have a gold star.
Have two.
And a Bang on the Ear (though it healed suspiciously quickly and the would-be assassin was immediately killed, both of which lead to conspiracy theories).
Oh I say!
