RIP VIP - Occular/Finbar Forever
There is nothing real about this feeling
It’s like all that’s left is helpless believing.
Hopeless preying and treacherous waiting,
A heavy weight burdens a crowd who’s endlessly elating.
Infectious, repetitive joy and sometimes disturbingly West Sundays.
Cheeky giggles - feet up laughing at crap on TV into Mondays.
The love you procured to all of us around
Of course foremost was known in your fucking stonking sound.
Every one of us lucky to have even heard your music:
Let alone get to know the inners of your mimd, the truth is,
The MegaTribe, Tribe Of Frog, Triplicity, Bom Fucking Shanka and Bloody Bristol,
Won’t ever be the same missing the Funbar trigger-fingered pistol!
Fight your fight for we all have your corners!
Whatever comes there won’t ever be left glum mourners!
Your traditions will live on, smash on, I’ll fucking enjoy shit even more!
We’ll look after each other, our self first, but life’s too fucking short for sure.
Thank you Finbar for just bloody being.
Even months on, your rainbows are all we are seeing.
