Bad Pennies from Eve by Áine Minogue

A first for Minogue, the album is a compelling compilation of all original music written and composed by the award-winning singer and songwriter. It offers a captivating collection of emotive and expressive songs including “Love’s Sweet Refrain,” “Warrior or Healer,” “Song of the Lark,” “Before the World Was Made” and “The Garden.”

According to Minogue, inspiration for her new album, with its striking vocal, rather than instrumental, prominence, has its origins in what she describes as the “many definitions and varied manifestations of Eve” ranging from an “archetypical version as the mother of humanity or ‘Biblical Eve,’” as Minogue notes, to “a theatrical ‘Hollywood Eve’ version as portrayed by the collage of feminine images in the 1950 Academy Award-winning movie ‘All About Eve.’”

Lyrics

All the bad pennies, heads up, tails you loose
Turning upside down spinning away the blues
Your sisters would like to visit you
But you're busy with your bad penny blues

All the bad pennies circling and fall
And your eyes glaze over
A tear from one eye falls
One cheek is blue, the other is white
And the ghosts of your past carefully hidden from sight

All the bad pennies (are) rolling to rest
And the echo is eerily blessed
Your father's gone, your mother long passed
And we'll sing you a psalm
requiem for, a hidden past

Hmm, ah, hmm, ah
