about

This is the first single taken from Steo's eagerly anticipated second studio album, Street Wisdom For Lost Souls which will drop in spring 2023!
More Blacks More Dogs More Irish is a socio political wake up call/ rally cry!
Dealing with some of the most pressing social issues of not just Ireland but the whole world right now.
In the words of Mr Tom Waits, "It's a beautiful melody telling you horrible things."

lyrics

In the pretty green isle of Eireann there’s a cloud over some of our towns
In the land of a thousand welcomes, racisms still coming down
From the top to the bottom the systems still rotten, and the euro rules roost
We got men and women in direct provision and the living conditions abuse
There’s traveller sites, where the rats run rife on the outskirts of every town
That fire in Carrickmines where ten souls died and people are still looking down

Where’s your memory, where’s your memory gone
Where’s your memory, where’s your memory gone
No blacks no dogs no Irish, it wasn’t that long it wasn’t that long
No blacks no dogs no Irish

In the pretty green isle of Eireann, theres a shadow over some of our towns
In the land of a thousand welcomes, racisms still going down
Up in the sky I see them vultures, circling around for the scraps of our culture
Whole generations growing up homeless, kids never knowing where their heart or their homes is
Human beings dying on our streets, cold in their lungs and a cup at their feet
Remember you’re a paddy and a mick, good for nothing but stacking up brick
Remember when our crop got sick and we sailed those hunger ships

Where’s your memory, where’s your memory gone
Where’s your memory, where’s your memory gone

More blacks more dogs more Irish
More blacks more dogs more Irish


Sometimes we must close our eyes, open up our minds to realise
We are one! We all breath the same air and we all bleed the same colour

It wasnt that long
It wasnt that long
It wasnt that long
It wasnt that long
It wasnt that long
