Margaret Reed O’Shaughnessy Thank Christ I’m not your enemy There’s no struggler loves ya more than me Oh, Margaret Reed O’Shaughnessy Margaret ground against her knuckles to hold her temper at her teeth Funerals are triggers in an Irish family And daddy was a lion, but he also was a louse She swallowed twice to clear the bile from her mouth The house, awash with sycophants, instantly enshrined The parish priest, the butcher boy, the football player’s wife All busy painting angel wings, complicit in the lie That’s the way we Irish do it when we die Riddles wrapped in rosary Clover grenades Fools who suffer mightily As our high Saint Sinead We celebrate our loneliness Our combustible rage “He made us this way” Not that Margaret wasn’t her own complicated layer cake Educator/activist - Republican gone straight Traded Weather Underground for some peacetime in the shade But in her heart of hearts, she is as she was made When she shaved her head at Trinity, toured BDSM Clinical, athletic sex - detached, com petitive The discipline appealed to her, the flogging and the rules But the emptiness roared back when she was through A missile wrapped in rosary A clover grenade Fools were suffered mightily She shot sharp like Sinead And bristled at her loneliness Her combustible rage “They made me this way” Margaret Reed O’Shaughnessy Thank Christ I’m not your enemy There’s no struggler loves ya more than me Oh, Margaret Reed O’Shaughnessy Margaret learned to make her fate when Uncle James lisped with a wink “If you’re not tall enough to touch the bar, you’re not tall enough to drink” She jumped and smacked it with her palm the day that she turned six She’s wrestled Jameson’s and Guinness ever since (And tonight she’s losing Tonight she’s getting her ass kicked) My missile wrapped in rosary My clover grenade Fools picked apart her sanity She collapsed like Sinead Encircled by her loneliness Her combustible rage “Who made me this way?” Margaret Reed O’Shaughnessy Thank Christ I’m not your enemy There’s no struggler loves ya more than me Oh, Margaret Reed O’Shaughnessy Oh, Margaret Reed O’Shaughnessy Oh, Margaret Reed O’Shaughnessy

Who Is Your Humble? (Demos: 2006-2007)
by Andy Hull

You know that feeling you get when you’ve lost something you didn’t know you lost but you know you are looking for ? And know with even further affirmation it was lost and you were in deed looking because you finally recognize it when you found it ? Every time I see the word “COPE” I think of how there’s no irony that I think of this voice, lyrics and music that helped me do just that. It’s so many heavenly things. Please let this be the voice I hear on my final journey to meet my ma room_237
