I usually write alone, but a few years ago I ended up writing a whole string of songs which became an album, and a band of sorts, The Strunts, with my friend Les Oman.

That album, unlike most of my writing, had political undercurrents. Les and I haven’t written together since. But there are stirrings. I recently sent him a couple of verses and a lyric for a song that felt very “Struntish”. We’ll see how that develops, but last time the simple act of sending Les something opened the floodgates.

I dodge the law, they’ll never get me
Another feather in my cap
I’m a champion of  indecency
I’m the cream that got the cat

I came again, yeah just like Jesus
Maybe I’m the holy christ
The saviour of the free world
But  freedom has a price

I took a Bullet For Democracy
Then I put that bullet in my gun
If you wanna kill democracy
I’m the man to get it done
