A collection of lyrics and prose from Irish singer/songwriter Paul Murphy.

Dating from the first two weeks of October 2025, these were his final works, a sweeping range of tales concerning matters such as the dissolution of order in Trump's America and elsewhere ['Not In My Name', '33 Again']; social injustice and persecution of the individual ['Your Turn's Coming', 'Repaid', 'No Justice - Anywhere']; two allegorical parables on the rise of autocracy ['Another Night Just Alive' and 'Memories Of Beauty']; risqué blues ['Ballad Of A Hungry Boy', 'Gotta Rock 'Til You Drop']; and the heartbreaking 'Letter To Dylan', a train-of-thought final message from a dying father to his beloved young son.

Also included are an essay, 'You Oughta Weep, But You Won't', detailing the composition circumstances and back-stories to each song; alternate, unused cover art and Internet cue-cards; and photographs of the original handwritten manuscripts.

Moving, emotive, thought-provoking and, occasionally, disquieting, this anthology collates the final works, and wordplay, of a master songwriter whose narrative talents burned bright until his last line was scribed.
