07 03 2023 Musical Interlude - Shona's 'Rest in Peace Old Maritime' a song of our times

We had a lovely celebration, singing is always part of a good party (so is music making in the moment ) but ....there is so much to talk about right now that sometimes it doesn't work out as planned) I am so glad that we did sing on Tuesday and i share it - the words are here
RIP Old Maritime by Shona Dunn
Up & down
Round & round
You & Me
In the Sea
Of a life
On this ride
Of Old Maritime
In & out
Down & out
Where you go
They always know
No way out
Or so they spout
In Old Maritime,
In Old Maritime
Make your move
If you choose
You can’t win
Games been rigged
What you do
You always lose
In Old Maritime
They changed the words
So we’re not heard
Playing tricks
Their pockets fixed
And even worse
Their evil curse
Thru Old Maritime,
Thru Old Maritime

But we know
It’s just a show
It’s not real
Make believe
Make you feel
You can’t leave
Old Maritime
But all those Acts
Are just that
If we all say
No Fucking Way
We refuse
To be used
By Old Maritime
By Old Maritime
Their game is up
We’ve flipped their cup
No longer slaves
We pave the way
New life begun
Their ship has sunk
Old Maritime
Hip Hip Hooray
We saw the day
We taught ourselves
We learned to pray
Begun to see
And now we’re free
