about

I wrote this song about a year ago when the only thing happening in the world was Brexit. Yup, it’s a Brexit song, how sad. Seems almost quant through today's lens, but sadly, the relevance and the expression and the intention holds true.

lyrics

We had to settle the argument
You conducted an experiment
The truth got a little bent

Accusations and counter claims
Finger pointing and hunger games
I didn’t have a lot to gain

‘Cos I’m falling to pieces
Tripping over words

I came home with a traffic cone
Spent the weekend on my own
Could not connect to a wi fi zone

I’m pessimistically full of hope
Watching the world going up in smoke
Through the wrong way round of my telescope

‘Cos I’m falling to pieces
Tripping over words
Just give me something
For the birds

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
