Compromise / Not / Pictured /

By Paul Murphy

COMPROMISE / NOT / PICTURED.

Volume 4 of "The Lost Lyrics" anthologies from Irish singer-songwriter Paul Murphy.

Recently discovered after over 20 years, this material is some of the hardest-edged work of even Paul's extensive catalogue. Child exploitation. Uncaring charities. Domestic abuse. Failing politicians. False-heart lovers. Broken care systems. Corruption. Poverty. Neglect. Intransigence. Bigotry. Misogyny. Misandry.
All of these and more are addressed in this stunning collection.

Also included are 4 new pieces: the Internet hits 'MeToo', 'Protect The Child', and the excoriating 'Fervent Charity' and 'You'll Get Yours'.

In addition to the song lyrics there are images of original handwritten lyrics; previously-unseen cover artwork from YouTube videos; and an original essay by Paul on the background to the book, as well as detailed song-by-song notes and backstory to the circumstances of their creation.

Completed in his final days of body movement, as his F-MND took his last remaining muscles away, this book is a fitting testimony to a great social commentator and performing artist.
