NICK MOLYNEUX

Nick Molyneux was given a penny whistle when he was six years old, and has been hopelessly addicted to music ever since. He has tried to kick the habit several times, but each attempt has failed, often ending with him stealing heroin so he can trade it for a car stereo with which he can satisfy his insatiable craving for rhythm and melody.
 
Nick regularly takes to the stage to play mandolin with Celtic folksters Feckless, and is also known for his distinctive acoustic guitar versions of traditional and pop songs. He is currently recording a set of original songs and tunes based on his solo performances.

Execution Song
 
Cut off the telephone, sever all connection, there will be no more return
Bare the needle, tie him down, lethal injection
That the sooner he may burn
-
Chorus
Man on the moon shed a tear
And the earth heaved a sigh
The waiting done, the end is near
This is an eye for an eye
And eye for an eye
-
The executioner is steadfast in his duty, he is backed up by the law
This man is just another punk he has finish like the one the day before
Repeat Chorus
And all that he dreams of is one last try
-
In the final hour, he who wields the final power suddenly understands
"I'm a good man, but I'll never enter heaven with this blood upon my hands"
Repeat Chorus
-
There's a telephone a-ringing in the corridor as needle pierces skin
Hear a banging at the door, hear a knocking but nobody lets him in
Repeat Chorus
And all that he dreams of is one last try
-
People come and go, all is flux and river flow
And all things have to end
The judge's hammer falls, the needle comes, the reaper calls - society to mend
Repeat Chorus
