Name: St Jude's Blues
Duration: P00H04M47S
Description: Jon : An atmospheric dark slice of gothic-anglo-Americana noir indie folk. St Jude being the patron saint of lost causes, this song was written in early 2016 when I was experiencing a pile-up of health and life difficulties. Hence this little tune Imbued with an angry resignation that hell is on Earth and all hope is abandoned here. Cheery stuff indeed, but I'm not dead yet. ;)

lyrics

"ST JUDE’S BLUES" words/music by JAG Delaney ©2016

Verse 1
I am an endless frost a cause that’s lost it’s mind
I am a day of wrath regretting a world gone blind
to the suffering of innocents to protect the guilty
St Jude will cure me till he kills me

Verse 2
I am a thunderbolt that buries the blasphemer
I am a guillotine that takes the head of it’s schemer
Plan for a tomorrow drowned in sorrow and greed
St Jude Will cure me till he kills me

Bridge
With Kindness and regards
You can be the morning and evening star
To remind yourself how far you fell
One man’s heaven another man’s hell
Silence in your heart
When the world will not restart
One last prayer how could it be refused
Sing out your final breath St Jude’s Blues
St Jude’s Blues …
St Jude’s Blues….

Verse 3
I am a jealous god manufactured in my own image
I am all time in chains but patience has it’s limits
Forgive me for I know what I do means misery (for you)
But St Jude will cure me till he kills me

Bridge X2
