God is Dead
God is dead, in my shed
Better red than dead
Living in my head
Best unsaid
Filling me with dread
God is dead in my shed
Better dead than read
The dog is fed
God is dead definitely dead
I wouldn’t lie to you
Chicago school
Treats us like fools
Viva Chavez, Viva Allende
God is dead
Buried in my shed
The free market
Is still not dead
Wartime leaders
Get Nobel peace prizes
God is dead,
He’s definitely dead. - Track Name: My Worlds End
-
My worlds end
When it starts to get darker
And the rain clouds are winning
I know they have won
When the foghorn comes
The seagull’s sound
Like they’re in my room
There’s a fly on the arm of the chair that I’m sitting
You talked through my favourite tunes
I recorded that thing for you on channel 2
Chanel no. 5 you said I never listen
You should have seen your face
When I told you Hagen Daas Can cause infarctions
Hagen Daas can cause infarctions
Welcome to my worlds end.
Just past the lighthouse
I see a small fishing boat
The sun spikes through the rain clouds
Asserting some hope
And checking the time on that watch
You’d bought me
I forgot you’d taken it back
Which was slightly annoying
As boring as a day with Roger McGough
I’d rather be face down in a pig’s trough
You should have seen your face when I told you
Hagen Daas can cause infarctions. - Track Name: Never Say Goodbye
-
Never Say Goodbye
That old clock chimes,
Begin your diatribe.
A life full of flashbacks,
Has the effect of candlelight.
And like in the movies,
Music does play,
I’m walking along alone
And I hear the theme tune play,
The hardest part is walking away,
Turning your back,
On what was safe.
Don’t you ever say goodbye
When the easiest part is starting again,
Trying to avoid more of the same,
And what was blessed
Soon became nonsense
And what you were really thinking
Was I was a mess
I drive and drive,
Round and round my life
That old clock rings time
And the music plays again - Track Name: Nutcase

Nutcase
Another anecdote of cold curry breakfasts
Another sees the ghost
Of human aspirations
Another crap red light with ramifications
Now I’m not dead I’m breathing in,
Now I’m not sad, imagine it
Now I’m not there, I’m over here
Now you preach fear, and I don’t care
You’ve heard it all before
Ice cream vans in winter
Snowploughs get to work
And submarines surface
A donkey is for life, not just for Xmas
Now I’m not fat, who said that?
And all those false cries
Of terrorist satellites
The one true rogue state
Is on our side, everyone’s afraid
Are you that anti semite
Another anecdote of cold curry breakfasts - Track Name: Broken
-
Broken
All I ever said was like
Fishing in my head
All the things I could’ve done
In the name of fun
What is this thing I could’ve done
With a loaded gun
While you were pissing
On my setting sun.
If my hands broken,
It’s broken in two
If my minds open,
It’s not open to you
If my heads soaking,
It’s soaking in brew
All the things I did and said
Were they really that bad?
Sitting in my little home
Talking to ghosts
All the things I ever said
Was like fishing in my head
Things I wish I’d never done
Was not using that gun - Track Name: Another Dance
-
Another dance
What becomes of me, the repetition that I
Was immunized against like a friend was
In the room without a view
Simple Simon tests the best of the rest
It’s awful that they really don’t think of you
And what you do
You should never tell lies you might be hypnotized,
like a friend that’s breaking
All the rules that we all abused
Like a parasite that bleeds the life out it
You’re sick of the shite
Send me on my way, have another dance
Have another dance, have another dance on my grave
What becomes of you, hardly heard a word
From someone that disturbing and I really want to breathe in the fumes
You kicked seven shades of shite out of it
You’re on the glue it’s really what you do
That no one knew
The repetition that I
Was immunized against like a friend was
In the room without a view
Simple Simon tests the best of the rest
It’s awful that they really don’t think of you
And what you do - Track Name: Diego Garcia

Diego Garcia
Why walk on a beach?
Or sit under trees
Just get it over and done with please
There’s no need to buy, half dead plants
When weeds would love you
Given half the chance
They danced round the truth
For most of my youth
Like you’re really going to jump off that roof
Diego Garcia,
Too many people shed too many tears
You lived your life
In a perfect paradise
The sun always shone
On your beaches with lies
Mr. Wilson smiled
While the sadness took your lives
He said everything would be just fine
Moved thousands of miles
Right out of sight
So the US of A could build another disgrace
Is there a little bit light, little bit of hope? - Track Name: Monkfish
-
Monkfish
He never used French letters
But he looked up to Joan of Arc
Said he knew Eddie Vedder
And that tasted like a monkfish tart
And he always endeavoured
To like libraries and works of art
When all’s said and done
It’s good to be home
When all’s said and done
It’s good to be gone
Grinning like a Frank Bough sweater
But Frank had the coke in his heart
He wasn’t that good looking
But he hedged his bets and that’s a start
Always thought he knew better
But he realized it was all arse clarts - Track Name: Disgrace
-
Disgrace
I don’t want to be a fucking disgrace in this place do I?
I don’t want to be fucking straight laced in this place do I?
I don’t want to be a crease on a piece of crimpolene do I?
I don’t want to be the colour grey like today do I?
I don’t want to be a fucking disgrace in this place do I?
I don’t want to be the colour grey like today do I?
I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you
For all my days
I don’t want to be dragged over hot coals on a sunny day do I?
I don’t want to be the weatherman in the rain do I?
I don’t want to be a sign of the times do I?
I don’t want to be the butt of the joke that’s all folks do I?
I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you
For all my days - Track Name: Belly Dancing Stoat
-
Belly Dancing Stoat
A scapegoat in a waistcoat
Selling mini plagues again
There’s idle speculation
That I procrastinate my life away
A more persistent Monday morning daze
You can’t bend me
Or attempt to mend me
You can’t lend me how you’re feeling
When I first saw you in that attic
You looked anything but ecstatic that day
Why would someone leave you sitting there
Right in the middle of a dead room stinking of paint?
I remember just thinking you are coming home with me
And ever since you’ve stayed in one piece
Is it an illusion you’re alluding to?
A belly-dancing stoat
Is more believable than you
You can’t bend me
Or offend me
You can’t lend me how you’re feeling - Track Name: Isn't Life Just Sweet
-
Isn’t Life just sweet?
I can’t design, I can’t design my life
Decisions can be made
In our name that is the way.
And isn’t life just sweet?
For the morally bereft on fat seats
And isn’t life just sweet?
For the villains of the piece
And isn’t life just sweet?
A design for life taken neat
And isn’t life just sweet?
All of it
I can smile a while
Smile a mile wider than you
Am I world weary
That remains to be seen
Ballet is banned in Turkmenistan
I hold up my hands
I will never understand
I forgive you I believe you
I can’t kill you - Track Name: Hope
-
Hope
Never give up hope never mainline dope
Never had much luck. Never give a shit
Never wish me well
Like I give a fuck.
Never make a show. Never say you know
Never hear the phone. Never give the dog sticks and stones.
Never watch Home alone never watch
Dick and Dom you’ll only end up growing up dumb as fuck.
Never give up hope
Never had the gon
never mentioned one As in I
Was not much fun.
Never looked at the sun
Straight on to the next one,
Never ever owned a gun
Never home for long. Never that forelorn
Never had a double
I was always an extra next to you
Never watch Dick and Dom never watch home alone. You’ll always end up growing up, pretty much, dumb as fuck right out of the prologue
That frock could cure a duck with chronic hic-ups
Faster than a fat man can do the sit ups.
