lyrics

Nothing To Be Done
come on in the kitchen come on everyone
like an Irishman said 'nothing to be done'
do you want to go out drinking? I said let's go
do you want to go out drinking? come on let's go
there's a hole in my head the size of a shot glass
a hole in my mind the size of a shot

displacement's the law try to steal a crust of bread
gravity's physical law it'll knock you down dead

last night's a blur seemed I loved everyone
there's no disorder here just let me find my gun
do you want to go out drinking? I said let's go
do you want to go out drinking? come on let's go
there's a hole in my head the size of a shot glass
a hole in my mind the size of a shot

nothing to be done just a shifting about
there's no disorder here and nothing to be done
do you want to go out drinking? I said let's go
do you want to go out drinking? yes let's go



"Nothing To Be Done" began as one of the tunes written by Irene Allen to accompany a stage play by Jason Lauderdale called "Zombozo". I took the music and set to writing a version of "Waiting for Godot" recast as a drinking song.
