On the Cross, cross the road to avoid him

Feel the zeal, feel his eyes making contact

If that's your thing, well that's fine, carry on son

But don't bother me, I'm not buying that


Don't need your empty praises

(Aah-no-no)

I've got no time for - time wasters

(Aah-no-no)

And I don't believe that

There's a God up in the sky

And when our time is up 

Then we just die


In the church for a wedding or christening

Read the words, sing the hymns, while you're thinking 

What the hell am I doing here, saying this?

I don't believe it, it's all bullshit


Two millenia of conditioning

(Aah-no-no)

Bad religion is big business

(Aah-no-no)

And I don't believe that

There's a God up in the sky

And when our time is up 

Then we just die


Well it just seems curious

So many Gods, so many poor

I'll suspend my disbelief

When the devil comes knocking at my door


And I don't believe that

There's a God up in the sky

And when our time is up 

Then we just die


So many wars in the name of religion

Tribal beliefs sucked up by the system

Twisted and warped by the people with the power

Follow the cross into war, what are you fighting for?

"Christian soldiers", seems a misnomer

Singing hymns while they slay, rape and then pray

God is love, but he doesn't mind some suffering

Blurred lines, where does evil begin?


No blind belief just give me proof

(Aah-no-no)

No sacred heart, no ineffable truth

(Aah-no-no)

And I don't believe that

There's a God up in the sky

And when our time is up 

Then we just die


I'm faithless and I'm godless

(Aah-no-no)

I put my faith in the human race

(Aah-no-no)

And I don't believe that

There's a God up in the sky

And when our time is up 

Then we just die

I've heard you talking in your sleep

Strange names and even stranger

It might be nothing just a fragment of a dream

But things like this set off my smoke detector

And so I'm lying here, thinking in the dark

About the little things that make alarm bells ring

Can't help myself I guess it's just the way I'm wired

I need to understand if we are saved or damned

I just need to know whats going on

I hope I'm wrong, oh god I hope I'm wrong

I just need to know if this is real

So come on tell me what you really feel


It seems we're ripping at the seams

Moving apart a little more each season

It feels to me that there is something inbetween

But I can't put my finger on the reason

We started out so strong but now it's going wrong

You used to hold my hand but now you barely glance at me

And now I'm looking for a sign

To let me know you're mine, please let me know you're mine

I just need to know whats going on

I hope I'm wrong, oh god I hope I'm wrong

I just need to know if this is real

So come on tell me what you really feel


Familiarity, ends up in contempt they say

And if you're hating me maybe you're negating me

In my head the answer seems so clear

And I'm feeling sick with fear

I just need to know whats going on

I hope I'm wrong, oh god I hope I'm wrong

I just need to know if this is real

So come on tell me what you really feel

Full of guilt I burn your trust

Accuse you of a crime, against this heart of mine

Disappointment in your eyes

That I would question you after all we've been through

Humanoid and paranoid

Don’t want to feel like this but I cannot resist

When you've been touched by the fire

Then you're afraid of sparks, keep looking out for sparks


back to the stone age

Learning we're leaving

Pleading for turning

Babylon's burning

Silent resentment

Covenant of the forgotten millions

Burn the tyrants

Bring the house down, smash the state

Put the cat out, bolt the gate

Set the clock back forty years

Wave the flag through the bitter tears

Rule Brittania, rule the waves

Britons never shall be slaves

Turn the lights out as we sing

God save the queen and head back to the stone age


And we're divided

Experts derided

"It's project fear"

Fat cats play games with

Our lives, we're expendable

We're collateral

Suicidal tendencies

Fundamental zealotry

Self destructive vanity

We're not what we used to be

Rule Brittania, rule the waves

Britons never shall be slaves

Turn the lights out as we sing

God save the queen and head back to the stone age


Out through the in door

Choosing a future

Of austerity

Don't heed the warnings

Don't need your negative rhetoric

We've been here before

Two world wars and one world cup

Defenders of nothing much

We've got pride we've got history

On an island and all at sea

Rule Brittania, rule the waves

Britons never shall be slaves

Turn the lights out as we sing

God save the queen and head back to the stone age


(Babylon's burning) Rule Brittania

(Babylon's burning) Rule Brittania

Rule Brittania, rule the waves (Babylon's burning)

Britons never shall be slaves (Babylon's burning)

Turn the lights out as we sing

God save the queen and head back to the stone age


a brighter life

Born in a stable or a hospital

Ward we're all on our own after cutting the

Cord, and forward we 

Pour - all you can do is keep playing the

Game while your searching for meaning like looking for

Grains of gold on the beach in the

Dark, so be like the sparks from the

Fire, as they twist in the breeze and then

Die, up in the sky, live a

Brighter life and then say goodbye.


Nobody asked you if you wanted

Life - but you're still here trying hard to 

Survive - racing with

Rats, so hats off to you, you’re a unique

Machine of blood and desire and emotional

Needs that hold the seeds of the things that you

Do, good, mad or totally insane it’s all

You, and whatever you do make it count, make it

Shine, so when you get off at the end of the 

Line, you leave something behind.


And if you believe this is it

And you're not coming back for a resit

Then what the hell is there to lose?

Just put on your dancing shoes


Princes and paupers, servants and 

Queens, we're all made the same we all crap in

Latrines - if you get what I 

Mean, nobody's better than anyone

Else, we're judged by the things that we do with our

Wealth - keep it all to 

Yourself or give of it freely to those that have 

Lack, your time and your patience, your love and your

Backbone - give it a 

Whack, and not just at Christmas or Children In

Need, the more that you give then the more you

Receive, I know it sounds strange but just 

Change one thing at a 

Time, make the best of the gifts that you've 

Got, why not? Live a

Brighter life and then say goodbye.

Live a brighter life and then say goodbye

There's a light in the far off distance

There's a glow in the sky warming up the night

There's a hope we can make a difference

If we try and choose the

Righteous path, change direction

Direction, it's not impossible

As storms clouds gather

We stand together

Set a course for better weather

Bollocks to Brexit

It's time to take a stand

Bollocks to Brexit

Come to our senses now that we know the

Consequences

Of the lies that we were sold

Unicorns and

Cake and eat it

Let's defeat it


Now we know that the EU don't need

To concede just to keep us in the club

Now we know that a hard nosed exit

Will result in a

Financial apocalypse

Watch the pound tank like a sinking ship

They told you we would

Be better off but

It seems like it was a load of old bullshit

Bollocks to Brexit

It's time to take a stand

Bollocks to Brexit

Come to our senses now that we know the

Consequences

Of the lies that we were sold

Unicorns and

Cake and eat it

Let's defeat it


And it seems like the only people left

Who think this is a good idea at all

Are the spivs and the City chancers

Speculate to make a 

Killing off the back of the 

Poor and the sick who can least afford it

Just watch as your savings

Disappear in the whilrwind

Poor get poorer while the rich get richer

Bollocks to Brexit

It's time to take a stand

Bollocks to Brexit

Come to our senses now that we know the

The consequences

Of the lies that we were sold

Three hundred fifty million

pounds a week, I don't think so

Blue skies

Big lies

Sunlit uplands

Delusion, confusion

Bollocks to Brexit

It's time to take a stand

Bollocks to Brexit

Unicorns and

Cake and eat it

Let's defeat it

Bollocks to Brexit

Shed my skin, just want to shed my skin, become a

Brand new thing, become a brand new thing. so you must

Make up your mind or I am leaving for a brand new life

Wake up and smell the coffee see things in a brand new light

Never promised you heaven, never told you lies

Take a look at the future, take a look outside

Through the gap in the curtains, through the open door

Trust me, come on, join me, this is what you've waited for


Take a ride, just want to take a ride and see the

Other side, see things through open eyes and travel

Into the unknown, see what's over the horizon line

Sample a life less ordinary while there's still some time

Don't know where we will end up, but we need to change

Throw aside our inertia, take a leap of faith

And I know that it's scary, and I know it's strange

Trust me, come on, join me, this is what you've waited for


Time is fleeting, temporary

No repeating, no rehearsal, seize the day


Shed my skin, just want to shed my skin, become a

Brand new thing, see things through brand new eyes and travel

Into the unknown, see what's over the horizon line

Sample a life less ordinary while there's still some time


Take a walk on the wild side, put it all on black

Spin the wheel and don't worry, if it all comes back or not

You can spend your life trapped inside a cage you've made all

By yourself, there's no-one else to set you free, so come with me

Time is fleeting, temporary

No repeating, no rehearsal

Seize the day

Walking down the street, ten feet off the ground

Can't believe my luck 'cos I have found

A reason to believe again, a reason to live

A flower amidst the desolation

A new day dawns; I can feel the

Thaw, see the ice retreat where the sun warms

The ground beneath my feet

I see the sky; through misty eyes

I thank the Stars that sent you

Here to me

And darling don't you leave


Remembering my bad days, down in the hole

A man without a heart, without a soul

Without a sense of purpose, lost at sea

Until you came along and rescued me

You picked me up; You dried my

Eyes, you changed my mind, now the world doesn't 

Seem quite so unkind

I hope and pray; You’re here to stay

I thank the Stars that sent you

Here to me

And darling don't you leave


Advancing through the chances, holding the line,

I've got my guardian angel at my side

We walk the path together, singing in tune

But leave each other lot's of room to be ourselves

And it's Christmas Day; No words can say

I don't need to find a shiny present

Underneath the Christmas tree

You're all I want; You're all I need

I thank the Stars that sent you

Here to me

And darling don't you leave


And it's Christmas Day; No words can say

I don't need to find a shiny present

Underneath the Christmas tree

You're all I want; You're all I need

I thank the

Stars that sent you here to me

And darling don't you leave

And darling don't you leave

Politicians, on a mission to make a power grab

Of course they want our country back!

To line their pockets, to help their contacts, to free their hands to

Let them do their dirty wheeler deals

You scratch my back, I'll give you cash back, and hide it in a

Shell firm in the Virgin Islands

Sovereignty, opportunity, but not for you and me

Cannon fodder never stands a chance

Red White and Blue

It's my country too

You don't speak for me

And I don’t like Nazis

THIS IS A WARNING, THIS IS A WARNING


And the Kippers, in their slippers, want to pull the

Drawbridge up and isolate us

They're not racists; just like faces to be monochrome

Save the Queen and bless this home

Wave your flag and play the bingo. Oh by Jingo!

Nothing worse than foreign lingo

At the bus stop, in the chip shop, unless of course they

Happen to be serving you

Red White and Blue

It's my country too

You don't speak for me

And I don’t like Nazis


THIS IS A WARNING, THIS IS A WARNING


See the hardline, in the sunshine, feeling brave yeah

They're coming out from underneath their rocks

Patriotism smells like fascism, well are you with us 'cause

We need to sort this out and make it stop

If we let them think that hate crime is acceptable

We're never ever going to stop the rot

Don't be shy now, make a stand now, send a message

Send them back into the dark where they belong

Red White and Blue

It's my country too

You don't speak for me

And I don’t like Nazis


THIS IS A WARNING, THIS IS A WARNING


So blame the Polish, blame the Jewish, blame the Muslim

They're an easy target for your rage

Grab your pitchforks, storm the castle walls, burn the heretics

And purify the gene pool for an age

But it won't change a single damn thing - they're not your enemy

They're just like you and me, they're human too

So if you build walls, you're heading for a fall, you'll never hold back

Humanity, you'll just get washed away

Red White and Blue

It's my country too

You don't speak for me

And I don’t like Nazis


THIS IS A WARNING, THIS IS A WARNING


There's no mystery, know your history, can't you see that we

Need to integrate to keep the peace?

Too much ego - Mucho macho - leads to brinkmanship

Takes us down the path of conflict

Don't forget the sacrifices that were made when

Nationalism last pulled into town

A generation paid the blood fee so we could be free

Please don't let the Fascists come back round

Red White and Blue

It's my country too

You don't speak for me

And I don’t like Nazis


rabbit hole

From the album Buskakrhymz Vol 1 Apr 2019


Round and round and down and down  into the rabbit hole


Same old faces, same old stories

Not impressed with your past glories

I want new tales, I need cocktails

Give me tension and adventure

Round and round and down and down into the rabbit hole


This is boring, just stop talking

Get your skates on, cos we're walking

There's a new day through that doorway

Time to face it and embrace it


I'm not saying this is your fault

But decaying's not my default

Let's get wasted, let's get battered

Lets take drugs and see what happens

Round and round and down and down into the rabbit hole


Get some shots in, start the headspin

Double vision is the mission

Alcoholic revelations

Incoherent conversations


Talking bullshit with some strangers

Feels like friendship feels like change is here

Yes I'm lonely, yes I'm needy

Need attention just to feed me

Round and round and down and down


Just keep drinking 'til your bladdered

'Cos nothing else really matters

Round and round and down and down


Lost my bearings, in a time warp

Tunnel vision, can't drink no more

Round and round and down and down


I'm a zombie, I'm a headcase

I'm a boring waste of space a

Waste of skin an oxygen thief

Take me home and then just shoot me

Round and round and down and down into the rabbit hole

Round and round and down and down

Round and round and down and down

At every little fork in the road

You make a choice and then you see where it goes

There's no map, there's no compass

You have to go with what you think is for the best

We're all travellers in time and space

And everybody makes the same old mistakes

Missed connection, missed opportunity

Oh well, what the hell, we're all gonna die some day

Too much, too soon

Still picking glass out of open wounds

And then, you left

Another life in another world

Bad luck, cruel fate

Crossed stars, too late

We're lost in space

Wrong time, wrong place


And you can waste away thinking "What if I

Had gone a different way and had a different life?"

You can't rewind, you can't go back

That was then, this is now, keep your eyes on the track

We're all working out the way this world works

We're only human and we're mostly jerks

Sometimes you can't see which is the right way

Oh well, what the hell, we're all gonna die some day

Bad luck, cruel fate

Crossed stars, too late

We're lost in space

Wrong time, wrong place


We're all travellers in time and space

There's so many different paths that we can take

So don't worry 'bout the final destination

It's all about the journey not the roads that you've taken

Too much, too soon

Still picking glass out of open wounds

And then, you left

Another life in another world

Oh well, tough shit

Get over it

Move on, give love

It's all, you've got

Bad luck, cruel fate

Crossed stars, too late

We're lost in space

Wrong time, wrong place

A Starman came travelling

Stayed for a while

Gave us his stories

Gave us his smile

I still hang on his words

As he shines in the universe

Will the Saviour Machines

Keep him safe in his oddity?

All the young dudes are old, but they still sing your songs

Ragazzo Solo


So Ashes to Ashes

I'm Low but not down

The Width Of A Circle

The tears of a clown

There's a Black Star in view

All The Madmen are missing you

And they dance in the street

Scary Monsters and Super Creeps

Now the young dudes are old, but they still sing your songs

Ragazzo Solo


I pull on a finger

And then cigarette

I'm listening for life signs

For spiders and suffragettes

Diamond Dogs on patrol

As they chase Lady Grinning Soul

And the Jean Genie's here

Recollecting her Golden Years

Now the young dudes are old, but they still sing your songs

Ragazzo Solo


Well nothing much Changes

We're frozen in Time

We're walking through Quicksand

We're Rock 'n' Roll Suicides

Lay the real thing on me

You Cracked Actor's and Pretty Things

It Ain't Easy you see

We've got Five Years for dying in

Now the young dudes are old, but they still sing your songs

Ragazzo Solo


We go Up The Hill Backwards

But this is no game

We're looking for Heroes

We're shooting for Fame

So the Kooks take a bow

They're all up and romancing now

Starman waits in the night

If I sparkle he'll land tonight

Now this young dude is old, and I still sing your songs

Ragazzo Solo

Revolutions; down and out we go

Sliding off the roundabout

Separation; there's a gulf between

Me and you we're falling apart

Different mentalities

Egos and allergies

Maybe it's time to make

A break and go our separate ways


Revelations; secrets coming out

Cybercrimes and online trails

Hold a mirror up to see yourself

Bad behaviour, go straight to jail

And as we scratch away

The truth as clear as day

What has become of us?

Well it looks like we're all out of trust


Communication; broken radios

Static's all that we can hear

Semaphore is all that's left to us

Middle fingers punching the air

Dischord and disrespect

But what did we expect?

With such intense neglect

It's no wonder that we're going under


Desolation; it's the end of days

When your life begins to break

And you know there's no-one else to blame

It's a bitter pill to take

Education; there's a lesson here

If you drift out on the sea

And you look back, there's nobody there

You're in zero gravity

No up no down no left no right

Out of control, yeah, out of sight

You need a boost, a helping hand

To bring you back down to the land

From zero gravity

From zero gravity

From zero gravity

From zero gravity

I've been looking through photos

Mementos of people I used to know

We've moved on that time has gone and

Water's flowed under many a bridge

And I can't help but wonder if

Underneath we're still the same people we've

Had some knocks been round the block but

I can find traces of who I was then

So we all have our lives, and our damn nine to fives

And it's hard to find time to break bread and drink wine

But we're friends in the end


And all this technology means

We are free, yet somehow in slavery

Information overload to crack the code

Things used to be easier

In the age of Aquarius it's dangerous

There's people out there packing

Knives and guns and cherry bombs

So keep your eyes peeled and watch out for the wronguns

They're out on the street looking out for the weak

But you have to assume human nature will rule

And pull through in the end


We're living through strange times

The lunatics control the asylum and

Seem intent on monumental

Acts of sabotage, curse that twat Farage

A country divided decided

To jump from the aeroplane

Not a clue, no parachute

Slide down the razor blade using your bollocks for

Brakes, it's insane and we'll all feel the pain

Hit the ground like a stone and the best we can hope

Is survive in the end


Now I don't have a vision it's hard enough

To tie up my shoelaces

But I know that we should try to

Turn the other cheek, look out for the weak

Not exactly philosophy, just plain to see

We all need a hand sometimes

Lady Luck can turn the tables

We're three paydays away from the pavement

So don't judge too quick as you step around somebody

Sleeping rough on the street, but for fate could be you or me

We all die in the end

Got to try 'til the end

Clear skies and the sun in your eyes again

Start to

Sift the debris


It's a long and difficult road

Take it slow and steady your load

Find the point of balance and slowly

Lift

Don't take any more than you need to

Take only the best; leave the rest

Behind


It's a chance to start over again

Strip it down to the basics and then

Keep the parts of your life that make you 

Sing


Down the road there are new things to see

New experience, new possibilities

And remember that worse things happen at

Sea


Clear skies and the sun in your eyes

Start to

Lift yourself free


It's your choice - you can lay down and die

Or remember that there's more to life

And that life is a long song and you are not

Ready to go without singing the final refrain

Refrain, and again

And again, and again

Oh boy I read the news today

And wondered what would Lennon say

Too many people toting guns

Too many mothers losing sons

And it just seems obscene to me

Just take them off them, obviously

It's not impossible to solve

All that is missing is resolve


How many children have to fall

Before somebody grows some balls?

How many daughters have to die

Not knowing what they did or why

A lonely shooter in a school

Pissed off with life, or just a fool

Can't have the means to take a hit

We need to talk about this shit


So please explain to me just how

Guns must be such a sacred cow

Amendment two was needed when

The country had militia men

That was two centuries ago

And time's have changed a little so

Amend the constitution back

Stop making children take the flak


It might be a Right, but 

it's so wrong, and Lennon

Put his finger on it when he 

wrote his song:

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace


Too many people toting guns

Too many mothers losing sons

How many daughters have to die

Not knowing what they did or why

Don't tell me that

We can't end this

Time to change the rules

And take control


So please remember Bailey Holt

15 years old and not at fault

Tuesday was just a normal day

Until some cunt blew her away

Don't tell me that

We can't end this

Time to change the rules

And take control


I don't like Mondays, Mondays suck

Sometimes it's hard to give a fuck

But when you're angry or you're sore

It's not worth killing people for

So put the gun down think it through

It's not the brightest thing to do

There's only two ways this can end

You'll end up dead or in the penn

Don't tell me that

We can't end this

Time to change the rules

And take control


And I don't get the NRA

I just can't see the world their way

Imagine, like John Lennon said

That it was your child that was dead

Don't tell me that

We can't end this

Time to change the rules

And take control

A free press is a cornerstone of a 

21st century enlightened democracy

To keep a watch on the high and mighty

But beware, there are those out there who have

Different opinions, money and minions

And they believe they can act as they please

Speak truth to power: a dangerous pursuit

If you point out the King is in his birthday suit

You're naked too, and you might just catch a cold 


Cry freedom; scream "enough" but you

Just can't hide from the Big Bad wolf

Special forces here in our midst

Step out of line and you're on their list

Watch your back; be afraid of

State sponsored assassination

It's a terrible world we're living in

Where the killer is king


So who'll watch the watchmen, who'll take the risk

If they feel free to murder the journalists

And the Government just gives a slap on the wrist ?

Where does this end if dictatorships just

Do as they please, extinguish their critics and

Walk rough shod over law and order?

What does it say about our malaise if we

Just walk away and let them escape, it's a

Line in the sand and we need to make a stand


Cry freedom; scream "enough" but you

Just can't hide from the Big Bad Wolf

Special forces here in our midst

Step out of line and you're on their list

Watch your back; be afraid of

State sponsored assassination

It's a terrible world we're living in

Where the killer is king


Justice

A contest

Human rights or national interest?

Morality

Economy

Poisonous diplomacy

Madmen

Without end

We can fight them or we can bend

You, came crawling back

Still claiming that your love for me

Was true and for eternity

Well I'm not so sure


Cos I, know where you've been

Hanging out in bars 'til late

Hooking up with Tinder dates

Fucking in your car


So please, go fuck yourself

You're sure to find some easy fling

To help you with that sort of thing

Hope it's what you want


I'd just like you to act honestly

And refrain from infidelity

Not too much to ask if you ask me

But you never do


You're not the greatest thing to, ever occur to me, no

The more I contemplate you the more I come to hate you

I'm ripping up the rule book, and telling you

To fuck off, to fuck off, to fuck off


So go, get out the door

I've been listening to Gloria

She tells me that I don't need ya

Now or evermore


And I, don't give two shits

If you should die tomorrow night

Sleeping rough from frost bite

It's a day too late


And don't, come back again

I'm done with you I'm moving on

Futures looking brighter and I've

Got some brand new shades


I'd just like you to act honestly

And refrain from infidelity

Not too much to ask if you ask me

But you never do


You're not the greatest thing to, ever occur to me no

The more I contemplate you the more I come to hate you

I'm ripping up the rule book, and telling you

To fuck off, to fuck off, to fuck off

To fuck off, to fuck off, to fuck off

Yeah fuck off, just fuck off, just fuck off

Once I was afraid, I was petrified……


oh my days

From the album Buskakrhymz Vol 1 Apr 2019


(Well) I've made some mistakes like everyone does

To fuck up is human, its what makes us us

(And) I've never been perfect - it's perfectly plain

(But) I try to get through life without causing pain

I've been knocked - off my throne

I've been down - on my own

But I've learned - down the track

Who's real and who's fake and who's watching my back


My. Love.

You gave me courage when I was in fear.

My. Heart.

Beats a bit faster whenever you're near.


Now I'm not a romantic, I'm not one to gush

I don't buy you flowers, I don't shower you with stuff

(And) It's not that I don't care, it's not that I'm cold

And I know that I owe you for saving my soul

When I think - where I was

Now I'm here, just because

You were there, and remain

You lifted me up and you taught me to trust again


My. Word.

I'll never hurt you and I'll never lie

Oh. My Days.

Get better and better with you by my side.


And it's easy to get stuck in shit day to day

To sink into old ways and fritter your time away

Keep moving forwards and keep moving on

But always remember how far you have come

When you're lost - when you’re shunned

When you think - you're all done

After dark - comes the light

Just watch the horizon and things will come right


My. Love.

You gave me courage when I was in fear.

My. Heart.

Beats a bit faster whenever you're near.


My. Word.

I'll never hurt you and I'll never lie

Oh. My Days.

Get better and better with you by my side.

There's a white house near the hill

Full of pigshit, full of swill

And the trough is always filled

By the men with deep pockets who want to sell rockets

The house is full of swine

They talk nicely, they dress fine

But don't let them change your mind

Once a pig; always a pig

Can't believe what I'm seeing

Can't believe what they're tweeting

Can't believe what I'm hearing

All their lies and their cheating

Insanity

Inhumanity beyond belief

Got the New World

Blues


Now the pigs are doing fine

They've claimed Jesus for their side

And they claim by Holy proclamation

Children in cages is good for the nation

Now I'm not a Preacher Man

But I think I understand that if

Hesus Christ was to stand up today he'd be

Sent down to Texas and put in a cage

Can't believe what I'm seeing

Can't believe what they're tweeting

Can't believe what I'm hearing

All their lies and their cheating

Lady Liberty save us

From this big orange anus

Make America Great Again

Put the fucker in one of his pens

Insanity

Inhumanity beyond belief

Got the New World

Blues


Well it's time to change the song

Line the pigs up one by one

Drain the swamp and move them on

To a cage in a shed in the hot desert sun


Can't believe what I'm seeing

Can't believe what they're tweeting

Can't believe what I'm hearing

All their lies and their cheating

And the pigs keep on feeding

And the pigs keep on breeding

Lady Liberty save us

From this big orange anus

Insanity

Inhumanity beyond belief

Got the New World

Blues


step back

From the album Buskakrhymz Vol 1 Apr 2019


Tired of feeling hurt, face down in the dirt

Forsaken, overtaken, left behind to rot into the earth

Tired of wasting time, on other people's lives

When all they do is trample over you 

Like they didn't even see you

Not asking for a lot, a little goes a long way

Just ask me, how the day went, show a little interest

Show me that I'm wrong, (make me) feel like I belong

Small gestures, cost nothing, just put your

Self in someone else's head instead

I'm going to take a step back

See if you notice any change

I'm going to take my life back

And if you want to spend some time

You know exactly where to find me


(It hasn't) always been this way, we used to be much closer,

But people change and time moves on and 

Now - you feel so far away, and I was told that

Distance makes the heart grow fonder,  but all I ever see are

Empty spaces where you used to be


(And it could) be that I just need, to realign reality,

Embrace the empty space, fill the void with liberty,

Free to waste my time on stuff inside my mind

(But it's) bittersweet, and hard to feel complete without you

Driving me insane, but in a good way

I'm going to take a step back

See if you notice any change

I'm going to take my life back

See if you notice any change

I'm going to take a step back

See if you notice any change

I'm going to take my life back

See if you notice any change


killing time

From the album Buskakrhymz Vol 1 Apr 2019


Well I'm just sat here killing time

The sun is shining and the Black Rat's tasting mighty fine

No other place I need to be

It's days like this that keep you going through the drudgery

And if I had the luck to win that lottery

I'd be here every day just killing time and feeling like I'm free


Don't need a medical degree

To understand that this is very slowly killing me

But that's alright cause we're all heading the same way

I'll get there first and get the shots in at the bar if that's okay?


Well I don't really understand

The point of living if you do it without beer in hand

Our basic instinct says survive

But living long is not the only point of being alive

And you could say that this philosophy is flawed

That's fine unless you think old age and boredom isn't a reward


So if you're heading to the bar

I'll have another pint of gutrot cider from the jar

That's right - the lumpy stuff that tastes like creosote

I drink it cause it's cheap like me and just because it floats my boat


The sun is setting finally

I sometimes wonder if I'd never drunk how rich I'd be

I could have paid the house off, bought a nice new car

I could have put the kids through college, bought a new guitar

I could enjoy a swanky holiday each year

But I'd be bored as fuck and that is why you'll always find me here


rum and ginger

Take my cup and fill it to the top with rum and ginger baby


We were young, we had fun, so the survivors say

We went out, we got drunk, we felt sick the next day

Waking up in a strange portacabin or field

We were bullet proof, using our youth as our shield

Life is made to be lived so 

Don't stop, keep taking those risks and

Age is a relative thing, you're

Only as old as you let yourself feel

So let’s be nineteen forever

Take my cup and fill it to the top with rum and ginger baby

Take my hand and dance me round the kitchen table, while we're able


And we still hit the town, every now and again

But it now takes us days to get over the pain

And it isn't an option to sleep in all day

So we just do it Friday or Saturday

Life is short and it's sweet so 

Don't stop, keep moving your feet and

Dance like there's nobody watching you

Sing 'til your voice is all battered and bruised

You've got nothing to lose


Take my cup and fill it to the top with rum and ginger baby

Take my hand and dance me round the kitchen table, while we're able


Spin me round; take me down to the place where the people go

Raise the roof; raise your glass to the days of the future past

No regrets; no surrender, let's just go an a bender

Going out; Gloucester style, you can carry me out with a smile


been around the world

From the album Buskakrhymz Vol 1 Apr 2019


Red-eye flight bound for JFK; it’s the start of a whole new life today;

Hit the Big Apple, eat American Pie; Empire State and the Broadway lights;

Route 66 on a Greyhound bus; Make a midnight stop down in Las Vegas

Win a million dollars on a fruit machine; Hit the West Coast cities, try the West Coast Scene

Walk the hills of San Francisco; ride on a street car named Desire

I must be California dreaming; Hey Jack Kerouac I still feel your fire

And I feel alive for the first time in my life

Open up my eyes for the first time in my life


Next New Zealand; bit like England; 30 years ago but so much better;

Bare back riding; Bungy jumping; Whale watching and no shitty weather

Land in Sydney pretty much broke; get a part time job in the back of bourke

Cross the Harbour Bridge every single day past the Opera House and Circular Quay

Waltzing Matilda out in the outback; Ularu, Kakadu, Botany Bay

Barrier Reef and Coober Pedy; Palm Beach real life Home And Away

And I feel alive for the first time in my life

Yeah I feel alive for the first time in my life


New York, Vegas, San Francisco, Auckland, Ayers Rock, Bali, Bangkok

New York, Vegas, San Francisco, Auckland, Ayers Rock, Bali, Bangkok

(Been around the world) Lost on the trail in South East Asia

(Been around the world) Beach bum lifestyle; fuck you malaria

(Been around the world) Seeing things fresh yeah, open my Chakra

(Been around the world) Bali, Singapore, Jogjakarta

(Been around the world) Koh Pha Ngan man, island hopping

(Been around the world) Night train to Bangkok, only stopping for the best

(Been around the world) And I feel alive for the first time in my life

(Been around the world) Auckland, Ayers Rock, Bali, Bangkok


thin ice

From the album Buskakrhymz Vol 1 Apr 2019


There are days when it's all too much

There are times when you feel like giving up

Ask yourself what's the point of it all?

You want to curl up in a dark room in a ball

And walk away from the constant grind

"Leave me alone, I need some serious me time"

When you feel that you've forgotten how to smile

"Goodbye cruel world; I may be gone for a while"


Skating - on the thin ice, waiting - for the cracks to

Show up - underneath you, cast you into the freezing

Water, but warm hands will catch you before you land

Pull you up, save your life, you're not done yet so get back on your feet again


In the age of mass communication 

How can it be that you feel such desperation?

Connected by wires to the great hive mindset,

And yet lost in your own little world and

Isolated, separated, 

Well there's no such thing as Society

So divided, looking for your tribe and you just

Need to break free, you need to break free

Skating - on the thin ice, waiting - for the cracks to

Show up - underneath you, cast you into the freezing

Water, but warm hands will catch you before you land

Pull you up, save your life, you're not done yet so get back on your feet again


So howl and scream; let out the bad dreams

(Shout shout; let it all out)

Well we're in this together and I'll follow you wherever

(A friend in need is a friend indeed)

And when it seems there's nobody on your side

(All you can see are the tumbleweeds)

Just give me a call I'lll be right behind you

(Got your back; I got your back)


Skating - on the thin ice, waiting - for the cracks to

Show up - underneath you, cast you into the freezing

Water, but warm hands will catch you before you land

Pull you up, save your life, you're not done yet so, you're not done yet

Skating - on the thin ice, waiting - for the cracks to

Show up - underneath you, cast you into the freezing

Water, but warm hands will catch you before you land

Pull you up, save your life, you're not done yet so get back on your feet again

I just caught your eye as you swung out of view

I knew right from that moment how much I wanted you

Stressed and out of breath as you were coming out of Next

I asked you if you'd mind if I tried on your new black dress


You stopped and smiled at me but told me "You're a fool,

Black is not your colour, you'd look better wearing blue"


And that's what it is about you - you make me

Smile - and girl I have to say it's been a while

You make me smile


And I'd like to think, that you feel this feeling too

And I'd like to spend more of my time with you

You've got me in a mess inside my head, I want to wake up next to you in bed

Take off your new black dress, take off your new black dress


You turn and look at me and hit me with your laser eyes

You tell me you're in need of coffee or you're going to die


And that's what it is about you - you make me

Smile - and girl I have to say it's been a while

You make me smile


I just caught your eye, as you swung out of view

I knew right from that moment how much I wanted you

Stressed and out of breath, ss you were coming out of Next

I asked you if you'd mind if I tried on your new black dress


You stopped and smiled at me but told me "You're a fool,

Black is not your colour, you'd look better wearing blue"

You turn and look at me and hit me with your laser eyes

And that's what it ss about you - you make me

Smile - and girl I have to say it's been a while
