about

Since 2016 being in the UK has been like living in a huge, ugly bar fight. It’s a function of social media of course. Most of us exist in our own echo chambers “liking” things we agree with, which algorithms analyse and show us more of. Occasionally though we bump into people with opposite opinions and then all hell breaks out.
It’s not just the UK. Reading tweets from America of Trump supporters arguing with democrats and vice versa is truly ugly. I’m sure the same happens elsewhere.
At the same time there seems to be a rise in the world of people who feel “passed over”. No one listens to them, they feel, as decisions get taken elsewhere outside their control. This seems to translate into the age old dislike of strangers. Hence “Blame it on Henrik” or “Poor old Diego”.
The song is an impression of living in that bar fight while politicians use the situation and foreigners get the blame. Let’s hope the pattern reverses.

lyrics

Well the pimps sat drinking Rum and cola light
As the Whores kept working, working through the night
And the band kept playing, playing through the fight
And they all agreed they’d all seen better days
Yeah they all agreed that those were better days

Blame it on Marek, blame it on Henrik
Blame it on oh oh everyone else
Blame Angelino, and poor old Diego
But oh oh don’t blame yourself

Well the politicians talked all day and night
But no one spoke up to do the thing that’s right
They all kept looking, at the polls in fright
And they all agreed they’d all seen better days
Yeah they all agreed that those were better days

Blame Isabella, blame Angelica
Blame it on oh oh everyone else
Blame it on Herman, blame every German
But no oh don’t blame yourself
