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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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

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

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

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

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
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 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
