Still Fightin' - Lyrics & Poems - A collection of lyrics by Irish singer/songwriter Paul Murphy. The 29 pieces presented here come from 2 sources - a series of songs composed early in 2026, towards the end of his battle with an auto-immune condition; and a cache of previously-unpublished material dating from 1998 and 1999 that had been lost in his archive for nearly 30 years. Almost all the material here is dark and uncompromising - the 2026 material dealing with worldwide injustices, his wasting away from F-MND, and social commentaries; and the recently-discovered pieces taking pen to the shades and shadows of misplaced love and failing relationships. Four pieces do break from the harshness - the long-lost LGB support anthem 'You're Going Through Some Changes', two unabashed love songs, and 'Please Don't Go', a passionate argument against suicide. In the main, though, this anthology comprises what Paul in his song essay describes as 'dead-centre shots at people who aren't doing their jobs - in government, in hospitals, in the judiciary, in society and... in their relationships.' - . - . x . - . - Also included are reproductions of the original handwritten manuscripts, images from online performance videos, and a song-by-song essay, Miscalculations, detailing the background and back-story to all the works. Please Don't Go [excerpt] You say you're leaving
To see what change brings
It's time to move on
But time does strange things
The sun is darker
On the unseen side
And regret leaves you
With nowhere safe to hide Don't go - the grass is greener here
Don't go - the birds sing sweeter here
Don't go - don't you see you've got too much to waste?
Don't go - Goodbye leaves such a bitter taste
Please... don't go .....
It's time to move on
But time does strange things
The sun is darker
On the unseen side
And regret leaves you
With nowhere safe to hide Don't go - the grass is greener here
Don't go - the birds sing sweeter here
Don't go - don't you see you've got too much to waste?
Don't go - Goodbye leaves such a bitter taste
Please... don't go .....
