TARA OF THE KINGS
Paul Muldoon

WE MET AT THE SUMMER SOLSTICE
WHEN EVERYTHING STOOD STILL
HER SLOPING AWAY LIKE ISEULT
LEFT ME OVER THE HILL
I RAISED THE CHAMBER IN THE MOUND
THE OAK-FRINGED SACRED SPRING
THAT FEEDS THE STREAMS THAT RUN AROUND
TARA OF THE KINGS

SHE WAS THROUGH WITH CARBON DATING
STAKEHOLDERS WITH NO HAIR
SHE WAS THROUGH WITH MONSTER MEETINGS
IN FLATS OFF PARNELL SQUARE
SHE WAS THROUGH WITH CROWNED AND UNCROWNED
YEW TREES WITH COUNTLESS RINGS
THE DITCH THAT USED TO RUN AROUND
TARA OF THE KINGS

COULD WE WHO ENDURED THE PENAL
AND EDWARD POYNING’S LAWS
(NEVER MIND THE BEEF TRIBUNAL)
NOW SOMEHOW BE IN AWE
OF A ROAD RUNNING THROUGH THE GROUND
ON WHICH STOOD OUR ALTHING
AND NOT ENSURE IT RUN AROUND
TARA OF THE KINGS?

WE KNOW THE STONE OF DESTINY
WAS SET UP IN THIS SOIL
NOW THE SOLDIERS OF DESTINY
ARE SET TO BANK THE SPOILS
AND LEST THEY WISH TO BE RENOWNED
FOR RAPE AND RAVISHING
THEY’LL NOT GIVE US THE RUNAROUND
ON TARA OF THE KINGS

WE’RE FATED TO BE REMEMBERED
AS SPOILERS OF THE DEAD
AND THOUGH WE SEEM QUITE UNHAMPERED
BY HONOUR OR BY DREAD
YET WE ARE DREAD- AND HONOUR-BOUND
TO OUR UNBORN OFFSPRING
TO ENSURE THE M3 RUN AROUND
TARA OF THE KINGS

Isn't he dead? How did you get his consent for the album or is it from the estate or something?

author by Vincent - TaraWatchpublication date Thu Jun 29, 2006 23:44Report this post to the editors

I knew somebody was going to say that, and was kinda kicking myself for not clarifying. Maureen , his sister, gave permission to use a song from his album; 'Curious notion'. She feels he would have opposed what's happening. The album will also be dedicated to Dylan, his infamous dog, who passed on early this year. I took care of him a good bit after Mic died, and he loved running around Tara. I think we actually crowned him king one day. http://www.myspace.com/micsbestfriend

The other question i thought somebody might ask is 'aren't Peatbog Faeries from Scotland?' Yes. I lied.

Cheers, V

This album is a manifestation of a class of people who don't understand what progress is all about if they had their way the man in the street would still be living in a mud hut and not allowed build anything else!
