Being Absent

I know, it's been weeks since any bloggy goodness has been going on at Lilith Attack. I have a whole list of excuses but mostly that I haven't had much chance to slack at work and dig around in the news over lunch! Been working long days at the office and was consumed with taxes the last month so now that those are out of the way hopefully I can get some time in for the blogosphere! I saw Sarah Slean a few nights ago for the 7th or 8th time; she's so lovely and brilliant. Here is a video of her performing Duncan (not from this concert), my favourite song of her's still, and a stunning anti-war melody.

Whatever happened to Duncan?
He was a good boy they say
The girls all wanted him to dance with
The boys to play to play

When the policeman came knocking
She didn't know what to say
Except his shoes and socks were all gone
It seems he ran away

Oh you fool you fool!
Don't give in to fate
If this is all we've got to fight for
Rage my darling, rage!
Duncan good for you!
Sad but on your way
Well the army never turned his crank
But love sure made him brave

A sweeter infatuation
Oh you'd be hard pressed to find
He loved so deeply and madly
He nearly lost his mind

And oh behold the mayor's daughter
She was a treat for the eye
Why this the only thing to live for
Just made you want to die!

Oh you fool you fool!
Don't give in to fate
If this is all we've got to fight for
Rage my darling, rage!
Duncan good for you!
Sad but on your way
Well the army never turned his crank
But love sure made him brave

This is holy war!
We must fight and fight again
And go a thousand times for the sake of love
But never once in vain
