I do think that women could make politics irrelevant.
By as a kind of spontaneous cooperative action, the like of which we have never seen. Which is so far from people's ideas of state structure and vital social structure that seems to them like total anarchy. And what it really is is very subtle forms of interrellation which do not follow sort of hierachical pattern which is fundamentally patriarchal. The opposite to patriarchy is not matriarchy but fraternity. And I think it's women who are going to have to break this spiral of power and find the trick of cooperation. |

John I love you
I'm ever so fond of you Will you wait for me 'Til I am heavenly Oh there's much work to do But I love you Oh you're tender Your name's a whisper I let tears fall like rain Apple-sized they were All over her And through all of those times When you could have died This is what you find There's life outside your mother's garden There's life beyond your wildest dreams There hasn't been any explosion We're not spinning like Dorothy If you look now then you'll see why Don't be afraid to cry This time don't let yourself fly Child Pick up those dancing shoes Kick off those wedding blues These are the ways You can choose Child you're tender Your name's a whisper There's life outside your mother's garden There's life beyond your wildest dreams There hasn't been any explosion We're not spinning like Dorothy If you look now then you'll see why Don't be afraid to cry This time don't let yourself fly Child Pick up those dancing shoes Kick off those wedding blues These are the ways You can choose Child I love you I'm ever so fond of you |

I'm not no red football
To be kicked around the garden No no I'm a red christmas-tree ball And I'm fragile I'm not no animal Though I am to you I'm not no crocodile Like the one in Dublin Zoo Who lived in a cage the length and breadth of his body When a window which people could look through And throw coins on his back to taunt him 'though he couldn't move Even if he wanted to I'm not nbo animal in the zoo I'm not no whipping boy for you You may not treat me like you do I'm not no animal in the zoo My skin is not a football for you My head is not a football for you My body's not a football for you My womb is not a football for you My heart is not a football for you I'm not no animal in the zoo This animal will jump up and eat you I'm not no animal in the zoo And I've every intention Of leaping up and getting you |

What else should I be All apologies What else should I say Everyone is gay What else should I write I don't have the right What else should I be All apologies In the sun In the sun I feel as one In the sun In the sun I'm married Buried Buried I wish I was like you Easily amused Find my nest of salt Everything's my fault I'll take all the blame Aqua sea-foam shame Sunburn with freezer-burn Choking on the ashes of her enemy In the sun In the sun I feel as one In the sun In the sun I'm married Buried Buried |

A Perfect Indian is he
Remembering him life is sweet Like a weeping willow His face on my pillow Comes to me still in my dreams And there I saw a young baby A beautiful daughter was she A face from a painting Red cheeks and teeth aching Her eyes like a wild Irish sea On a table in her yellow dress For a photograph feigned happiness Why in my life is that the only time That any of you will smile at me I'm sailing on this terrible ocean I've come for my self to retrieve Too long have I been feeling like ???'s childern And there's only one way to be free He's shy and he speaks quietly He's gentle and he seems to me Like the elf-arrow His face worn and harrowed Is he a daydreamer like me |

See the child
With the golden hair Yet eyes that show the emptiness inside Do we know Can we understand just how he feels Or have we really tried See him now As he stands alone And watches children play a children's game Simple child He looks almost like the others Yet they know he's not the same Scorn not his simplicity But rather try to love him all the more Scorn not his simplicity Oh no Oh no See him stare Not recognizing the kind face That only yesterday he loved The loving face Of a mother who can't understand what she's been guilty of How she cried, tears of happiness the day the doctor told her it's a boy Now she cries, tears of helplessness and thinks of all the things he can't enjoy * Only he knows how to face the future hopefully Surrounded by despair He won't ask for your pity or your sympathy But surely you should care ** |

All babies are born saying God's name
All born singing God's name All babies are flown from the Universe From there they're lifted by the hands of angels God gives them the stars to use as ladders She hears their calls She is mother and father All babies are born out of great pain Over and over All born into great pain All babies are crying For no-one remembers God's name |

OK, I want to talk about Ireland
Specifically I want to talk about the "famine" About the fact that there never really was one There was no "famine" See Irish people were only ALLOWED to eat potatoes All of the other food Meat fish vegetables Were shipped out of the country under armed guard To England while the Irish people starved And then on the middle of all this They gave us money not to teach our children Irish And so we lost our history And this is what I think is still hurting me See we're like a child that's been battered Has to drive itself out of it's head because it's fightened Still feels all the painful feelings But they lose contact with the memory And this leads to massive self-destruction ALCOHOLISM DRUG ADICTION All desperate attempts at running And in it's worst form Becomes actual killing And if there ever is gonna be healing There has to be remembering And then grieving So that there then can be forgiving There has to be knowledge and understanding An American army regulation Says you mustn't kill more than 10% of a nation 'Cos to do so causes permanent "psychological damage" It's not permanent but they didn't know that Anyway during the supposed "famine" We lost a lot more than 10% of a nation Through deaths on land or on ships of emigration But what finally broke us was not starvation BUT IT'S USE IN THE CONTROLLING OF OUR EDUCATION School go on about "Black 47" On and on about "The terrible "famine"" But what they don't say is in truth There really never was one So let's take a look shall we The highest statistics of child abuse in the EEC And we say we're a Christian country But we've lost contact with our history See we used to worship God as a mother We're sufferin from POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER Look at all our old men in the pubs Look at all our young people on drugs We used to worship God as a mother Now look at what we're doing to each other We've even made killers of ourselves The most child-like trusting people in the Universe And this is what's wrong with us Our history books THE PARENT FIGURES lied to us I see the Irish As a race like a child That got itself basned in the face And if there ever is gonna be healing There has to be remembering And then grieving So that there then can be FORGIVING There has to be KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING |
