'I spent the day in bed
You can please yourself
But, I spent the day in bed
Pillows like pillars
Life ends in death
So, there's nothing wrong with
Being good to yourself
Be good to yourself for once...' - MORRISSEY.

I listened a lot to Tuesday Blue in the 1980s - 'Escape the Escape' from their album 'SHIBUMI' youtu.be/pOMJuScK0V4?si… via YouTube

By far, my favourite Morrissey song is - 'Speedway'
Co-written with Bob Boorer, its lyrics and sounds still resonate with me all these years later. As usual, very clever wordplay by Moz.

Been listening a lot to Morrissey in the last few weeks. For all his flaws (who hasn't got flaws...) he is a POET of the highest order....

Congrats to His Father's Voice on their new release out today. Their forthcoming tunes are phenomenal....

The Irish University sector's silence about the Genocide in Gaza is unforgivable. I will be reading a new poem 'Murder In The University' at the launch of the LIMERICK WRITERS FOR PALESTINE e-zine on APRIL 15TH. Come along to support this publication.
