[1937]
In “Brendan Behan Sings Irish Folksongs and Ballads”, Spoken Arts (196?), ripubblicato in cd nel 1997.

Scritta da Brian O’Higgins, che negli anni tra le due guerre fu una figura di spicco prima dell’Irish Sinn Féin e poi dell’IRA Army Council

Nell’estate del 1937, Giorgio VI e la Regina Elisabetta, incoronati di fresco, decisero di fare una visita ufficiale in Ulster, giusto per ribadire la soggezione del nord Irlanda alla corona inglese... Ma quando, il 28 luglio, il corteo reale si recò a Belfast, i repubblicani risposero alla provocazione e “salutarono” i sovrani a modo loro: appiccarono il fuoco ai posti di dogana lungo il confine tra le contee sotto dominio inglese e l’Irlanda.

La Description du Monde

La Description du Monde – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2010
Cycle du Cahier ligné – 92

La Description du Monde est la nonante et deuxième chanson du Cycle du Cahier ligné, constitué d'éléments tirés du Quaderno a Cancelli de Carlo Levi.

Ah, Lucien l'âne mon ami qui court au soleil dans les campagnes, vois comme est la condition du prisonnier, comment est le monde où il est condamné à doucement étouffer. Car s'il n'y prend garde, s'il ne trouve pas comme notre ami la parade d'un monde intérieur et inaccessible aux intrusions ennemies, c'est bien cela qui l'attend. Mourir à petits feux... Par suffocation. Telle est la description du monde de la prison.

C'est proprement horrible, dit Lucien l'âne aux yeux si grands qu'on voit tout le ciel dedans. J'en ai froid dans les os et même dans les oreilles. Finir, là-bas, finir ainsi... Même, nous les ânes, qui sommes durs à la peine,... (Continues)

Lyrics & Music by James LaBrie
Album: Systematic Chaos

"Prophets of War" was written by James LaBrie, who based the lyrics loosely on Joseph C. Wilson's book, "The Politics of Truth".
The lyrics talk about possible ulterior motives behind the Iraq War, while remaining "middle of the road".
The title is a play on words, where the "prophets" of the war, could also be gaining a "profit" from the War. During the recording of the song, Portnoy suggested fans could voice certain lyrical chants. In response to a message posted on the band's website four hundred fans gathered outside the recording studio to record the chanting, however only sixty could fit into the studio.

"This is a sad song for the murdered children of Beslan
"We wrote this song to raise funds for the appeal following the Disaster at Beslan where children were murdered
On its release on its first night on the internet in the chat forum "Paltalk" in the radio room "Voices Of Resistance" the song raised £10,000 and went on to be the driving force for a large concert here in Lincoln in which 10 bands took part to raise funds for Beslan and the Homeless of Lincoln"
