lyrics

"Every Word A Stain" employs a fiddle tune by a Mr. O'Reilly called "Man Of The House" to reclaim part of Beckett's work for Ireland. His Irish roots are apparent throughout much of his writing, including the house and countryside in "Watt". The text of this piece is taken from excerpts of that novel and Kevin Buckley picked out this particular reel for the accompaniment.
