Failing politicians. False-heart lovers. Broken care systems. Corruption. Poverty. Neglect. Intransigence. Bigotry. Misogyny. Misandry.All of these and more are addressed in this stunning collection. Also included are 4 new pieces: the Internet hits 'MeToo', 'Protect The Child', and the excoriating 'Fervent Charity' and 'You'll Get Yours'. In addition to the song lyrics there are images of original handwritten lyrics; previously-unseen cover artwork from YouTube videos; and an original essay by Paul on the background to the book, as well as detailed song-by-song notes and backstory to the circumstances of their creation. Completed in his final days of body movement, as his F-MND took his last remaining muscles away, this book is a fitting testimony to a great social commentator and performing artist.
