Bullshit 04:06
So many people believe they can wash their sins away Redeem themselves no matter what they do I don't believe that I don't believe a singe word they say Just like water from a bottle you got to let it all wash over you Did your daddy ever tell you son I'm going to see a brighter day? Relax and put my feet up when my working days are done Well I was standing on the right side the day the black angel cried out your song So can anybody tell me why do the good die so young? So we all join the congregration And we all fall down on our knees Then we all beg for our salvation But it all smells like bullshit to me Yes it all smells like bullshit to me I've been thinking about the universe Couldn't figure out what kind of part we play There's some dickhead on my TV telling me it's written in the stars And when Jupiter collides sending debris miles and miles across the Milky Way Everybody here on earth is going to disappear up their own arse So we all join the congregration And we all fall down on our knees Then we all beg for our salvation But it all smells like bullshit to me Yes it all smells like bullshit to me Bullshit Smells like bullshit to me

Well I feel like an island No one but me Lost in this world Filled with hatred and greed Like a ship on the ocean No compass no chart Taking in water I'm going down fast Yeah I feel like I'm sinking in a cellophane sea Yeah I feel like I'm sinking in a cellophane sea Wish I was on the same boat As everybody else Oblivious to just what's going down Ride on the crest of this wave With no one but myself Somebody throw me a lifeline I'm going down I'm sinking down slowly Spinning around Caught in this whirlpool And I'm going down Treading on water Clinging to faith Breathing in deeper With each breath I take Yeah I feel like I'm sinking in a cellophane sea Yeah I feel like I'm sinking in a cellophane sea Ride on the crest of this wave With everybody else Ride on the crest of this craze All by myself I'm going down slowly now I'm going down

Shipbuilding 04:04
Now they say it`s only natural Like a winter turns to spring When you're living in a ghost town Some things have got to change When hunger comes a calling Knocking at your door And the children keep on crying Crying out for more Shipbuilding Well my father was a shipbuilder He built the ship from steel Then he`d sail it down the river With a captain at the wheel In '63 he lost his job So he poached the farmers fields With a shotgun in his raincoat And a bulldog at his heel The repo man stopped calling It`s been passed on to the law Brown enevlopes lie scattered Unopened on the floor And all his life's posessions Have been carried through that door Boards nailed across the windows And the key don't fit no more Shipbuilding So he left it all behind him Couldn't take it any more Left the people and the place That had held him like a claw Like so many he went looking Searching for those streets of gold Take this message to the families On the Wear and the Tyne Belfast and in Glasgow Got to hold your head up high Tie your children with their heartstrings Give them all your love and more Never let them slip away Like so many have before Shipbuilding Well we're talking about the ships Shipbuilding And the men of steel

John Said 05:45
It's been a long long time Since you sang about a revolution And we`re lost here in the dark So blind that we can't see Well I'm inclined to agree With your philosophy They`re the thoughts I hold close to my heart Day after day There`s a new wave of destruction Time after time The eye that turned was blind Such a strange symmetry Though we choose to agree As we all turn through space And through time They didn't listen to a word that John said They didn't listen to Luther King And the tears of Timothy Leary Fell like the rain in early spring Just like the rain in early spring Now the birds refuse to sing They say the times they are a changing The writing's on the wall Kings, dreams and empires Like autumn leaves will fall Why do we choose to ignore All that has gone before? Suffering that`s the price that you pay They didn't listen to a word that John said They didn't listen to Luther King And the tears of Timothy Leary Fell like the rain in early spring Just like the rain in early spring Now the birds refuse to sing

Monkey Stomp 03:56
People round here They just don't got no future They sit around year after year Time on their hands But their hands have never got the time and And so they look around Then cry into their beer They`re doing the monkey stomp monkey stomp monkey stomp They`re doing the monkey stomp here They`re doing the monkey stomp monkey stomp monkey stomp And they`ll be monkeys for a million years They twist and whine And bite the hand that feeds them Sign on the line then disappear It`s groundhog day And there's no point in rising The posties late again The rent man's left in tears They`re doing the monkey stomp monkey stomp monkey stomp They`re doing the monkey stomp here They`re doing the monkey stomp monkey stomp monkey stomp And they`ll be monkeys for a million years I never thought that I would see the day It`s like I'm slipping back in time Hats of to lunatics and maniacs Did Charlie Darwin hit the rewind Stomp! Stomp! Do the monkey stomp Stomp! Stomp! Do the monkey stomp They`re doing the monkey stomp monkey stomp monkey stomp They`re doing the monkey stomp here They`re doing the monkey stomp monkey stomp monkey stomp And they`ll be stomping for a million years The sun goes down upon this promised land Did I hear Charlton Heston say? You dopey sods you've gone and blown it now Cornelius moved next door and now he`s here to stay They`re doing the monkey stomp monkey stomp monkey stomp They`re doing the monkey stomp here They`re doing the monkey stomp monkey stomp monkey stomp And they`ll be stomping for a million years

Mila 03:16
Some days are so dull and grey Some days I just feel that way But I always feel safe and warm Here in the arms of Mila In the arms of Mila Took a lifetime to find my way Lonely nights empty days Now I know why I want to stay Here in the arms of Mila In the arms of Mila In the arms In the arms Here in the arms of Mila No wise choice just kismet Lucky roll of the dice Lady luck well she smiled my way She don't normally look at me twice Caught hook, line and sinker Lie in the bed that I made Now I know why I want to stay Here in the arms of Mila Mila Mila here in the arms of Mila Mila Mila here in the arms of Mila We'll be so happy together Flying like birds of a feather Head on through this stormy weather Here in the arms of Mila Mila Mila here in the arms of Mila Mila Mila here in the arms of Mila

Come on brother Can't you see? It`s always been that way For you and me No good fighting You just can't win Fighting the system That we`re living in Well there's so many problems So many doubts They stick it to you Then lay you out 'cos the buck gets passed around Seen by every big noise But you never hear a sound The buck gets passed on down How does it reach the bottom When the world is upside down? Politician Lying in the sun Scratch his arse And thats his day's work done Legislation Just going to have to wait 'cos he needs a little time So he can delegate 'cos the buck gets passed around Seen by every big noise But you never hear a sound The buck gets passed on down How does it reach the bottom When the world is upside down? So come on brother That's nothing new It's the same for me As it is for you No good fighting When you know that you can't win 'cos it chews you up then spits you out And starts all over again 'cos the buck gets passed around Seen by every big noise But you never hear a sound The buck gets passed on down How does it reach the bottom When the world is upside down? Pass it around around around Pass it on down on down on down

I've given up trying to find my salvation Life just gets stranger that's a fact So many times I've found my limitation I'm happy when my life's intact I may not find what I've been looking for I may just roll on like a stone So I live this lie Just for the moment This ball I stand on just keeps spinning nowhere Maybe there's nowhere left to turn I wont deny I love this expectation So I'll just let this candle burn I may not find what I've been looking for I may just stumble in the dark Yes stumble in the dark So I live this lie Just for the moment I may not find what I've been looking for I may just roll on like a stone So I live this lie Just for the moment Just for the moment Just for the moment So I let this candle burn 'cos there`s nowhere left to turn Let this candle burn 'cos there`s nowhere left to turn Stumble in the dark Just for the moment

Shine On 05:50
Light that beacon in your soul Hang it high up in your doorway Let that incandescense show Everyone that it`s just your way Why do you have to be so cold? When you shine you shine like gold Why do you have to push that way You're just pushing us away Well it only goes to show Your blood runs through my nerves and sinew I know everything you know In fact I think I could have been you How the hell do you get so cold? There's a force that you control Radiating like the sun Let it burn bright in your doorway Hold it high So let your light shine on Let your light shine on Let your light shine Let your light shine on She`s an angel cast in stone Starved and robbed of all fulfilment When she barks she bites the bone Then she begs for your forgiveness There's a beacon in your soul When it shines it shines like gold Find a spark and watch it burn Hang it high up in your doorway Hold it high So let your light shine on Let your light shine on Let your light shine Let your light shine on

Vivian 04:04
Black velvet silk and gold Coiled serpentine round chrome She`s going to shake that thing tonight In a banker's paradise Sweaty palms and fishnet tights Vivian she`s back in town tonight She rocks it then she rolls Spinning faster spinning low Stiletto heels long blonde hair Lay it down she`ll take you there Take you there She'll take you there Vivian He called his wife at ten to two There's long delays at Waterloo Apparently there's leaves upon the line Now Henry's weekend has begun Jumped the tube he`s on the run Booked a table bought a round Takes his seat as the lights go down Tension mounts as the curtains part Strobe lights flicker in the dark Greasy shadows shine then melt away City slickers seedy tarts Pockets full empty hearts Happy in their Friday masquerade Round and round and round she goes Vivian Round and round and round she goes She dances round that chrome Black velvet silk and gold A rendezvous in Camden Town She's never let old Henry down Round and round and round she goes Vivian Round and round and round she goes Vivian Round and round and round she goes

The Road 04:11
I hear thunder Seen lighting again And this solitude surrounds me Like and old familiar friend I remember Those summers back when We`d lay down in the cornfield And the wine would flow like rain But now I'm walking down this winding road It`s a road that never ends Oh Lord What have we done? You gave us everything Now it's all gone There was a spaceman Seen him walk upon the moon And they told him not to worry They all said he`d be back soon Well he's still looking for that safety valve And the fuse that must have blew Oh Lord Look at your son Lost here in outer space The only one Was it madness? So much to lose Why did we leave it In the hands of corporate fools? We had heaven paradise They made the money We paid the price Everything is lost and broken From the west down to the coast Now I find myself here walking Back along this road Oh Lord Look at your son Nailed to a crucifix Look what they've done There was a story In a book that I have read They crucified the carpenter Then gave away his bread Now he's hung up in a burning church Thorns around his head Oh Lord Look what they done They`ve broken everything Under the sun

about

We are a non-profit making music collective. You
can help change that by buying our songs
-
We aim to appeal to people who avoid TV 'talent'
shows at all costs, who are bored senseless by
the wailing diva and who have had a belly full
of the endless procession of re-masters, cover
versions and 'best of' compilations
-
We don't crave publicity. We would rather do
something than be someone. If you have any
interest in us at all we want it to be because of
the music we produce not because we scrub up
well after a session in Photoshop
-
We do not endorse the wearing of sunglasses
indoors unless under medical advisement, during
a period of bereavement or as a strategy to
reduce observable tells when playing poker
-
We would rather have a modest income and
work with a relatively low profile and deal only
with people that we love and trust than make an
enormous amount of money and have to deal
with scumbags everyday (Thanks for that one Steve)
-
We enjoy a slice of cake or a chocolate biscuit
