This is an EP by The Mountain Goats, unreleased due to a mishap in a taxicab outside the mastering studio.
Thanks to caliclimber for the art.
It is not my music in any way.

God damn whoever is in charge for never officially releasing this.

Sobrenatural. Gracias.

I finally decided I’d go out and try and find this as a physical copy, becuase the opener is oen of my favourite songs, before remember that it was never released.

(Lyrics)
Raid on Entebbe:
On the shores of a lake named after a late queen of England
I heard new rumors of war
The sun was a red ball up in the summer sky
I saw my sister standing in the doorway
She had that look on her face that reminded me of you
The reports were coming hourly and the sky was blue
They were shifting the power again
They always do this when I come home
I tucked my shirt in though I don't know why
Shielded my eyes from the light up in the sky
'Cause it was shining, blazing like a highway flare
In the incredibly, impossibly dry air
I heard my mother call my sister to the kitchen again
And thought that everything was headed straight down the drain
They positioned themselves in strategic locations
I was beginning to lose my patience
If you'll just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
Adair:
I got my eye on the scar
That runs clear from your temple to your jawline
If you'll tell me about all your thoughts right this minute
Then I will tell you mine
'Cause I got the wind in my hair
And I'm far away from where I used to be
But I got all my attention fixed on you
And you're flashing that smile at me
With the Midwestern sky burning above us
We lean up against the car
I wanna tell you what the sky has done to me
I want you to tell me who we are
'Cause I see him raising the water to your lips
It's the blazing dead center of July
And I got all my hopes hung on to one gorgeous promise
And you got the sunlight dancing on your eyes
And I got the wind in my hair
And I'm far away from where I used to be
But I got all my attention fixed on you
And you're just where you said you'd be
Just where you said you'd be
An Inscription at Salonae:
There was guy up on the hill
With a trumpet to his lips
I mean to tell you he knew how to blow that thing
There were women dressed in purple
Banging on their tambourines
And hammering on cymbals
It was not that long ago
When we gathered in the valley below
I loved you more than I loved my own life
I was falling to pieces
There was a young man on the altar
You saw me poised above him
I saw you watching me
There were singers, there were dancers
There was glittering gold
Spring breaking out gradually
It was not that long ago
But the memory's kinda dying out, ya know
Like a flower caught in the overgrowth
Falling, falling to pieces
There Will Always Be An Ireland:
Cold northern wind
And your young arm
Against my face
Soft and warm
There will always be an Ireland
There will always be an Ireland
Silent hour
Worthless words
View of some foreign city from the high window
Strange black birds
There will always be an Ireland
There will always be an Ireland
What we did
The things we said
Your hand resting
On my head
There will always be an Ireland
There will always be an Ireland
There will always be an Ireland
There will always be an Ireland

[@endersquid1132]

There will always be an ireland

[@keegan854]

But we will never see Ireland again
