They want to break us, humiliate us
But we will play their game, yeah
We can't afford to open the door to
This kind of ill behaviour
Might seem a little thing, hardly worth mentioning
But if we give an inch, they'll take a mile
They're aiming for the heart
To even up the score
This is a bridge too far
This is an act of war
They tried in Saltash, they felt the backlash
We made them close their doors, yeah
We've got no takers for these steak fakers
Make no mistake we're serious
We are the masters, we are pasty baking bastards
And if they want a fight, well, we'll give them hell
They're aiming for the heart
To even up the score
This is a bridge too far
This is an act of war
So now it's Truro, well that’s your funeral
It's going down the same way
Been here for centuries, we've got long memories
And we will not forgive them
It's not just pastry goods, these are our livelihoods
It's not just business it's our way of life as well
They're aiming for the heart
To even up the score
This is a bridge too far
This is an act of war
We have to draw the line
And stand against the tide
We're going to take them down
We'll watch them as they drown
They're aiming for the heart
To even up the score
A bridge too far, an act of
War
be happy

I'm watching a friend of mine
She's dying and I can't do anything
She knows that she's checking out
I know that one day soon I'll miss her
But I will remember this:
Her smile and her fuck you mentality
And when I go all I wish
Is I can be strong to the end yeah
We are born to
Die, we are beautiful creatures
Win or lose, so
What? Be happy for the things you've
Got
We're looking for paradise
We all want a slice of the easy life
But sometimes it gets you down
You're stuck on the wheel going round and round
And when you are feeling low
Remember to let go and look around
The best things in life are free
Or that's what they tell me, believe it
Wrong or right, you
Choose, and there's no way of knowing
Win or lose, so
What? Be happy for the things you've
Got
I'm watching a friend disappear
And one day I am sure I will follow her
But I will remember this:
Her smile and her filthy laugh yeah
We are born to
Die, we are beautiful creatures
Life is short but
Smile, takes less muscles than frowning
Don’t give up the
Fight, even if you are drowning
Win or lose, so what
Be happy for the things you've got
beautiful people

When I was born the midwife cried
She couldn't quite believe her eyes, well we
Can't all be Keanu Reeves, or
Beauty Queens, and kids are mean, I tell you
School was hell, I could not wait for the
Bell to ring and to hit that gate
There's no point in asking why,
U-G-L-Y, I ain't go no alibi
Skin deep, tough
Shit, I just make the best of it I give
No fucks, I don't care that I was
Back of the line when they gave out the looks
But it's hard to take when you comprehend you will
Never be one of the beautiful people
Slam the door in your fucking face, you can
Never be one of the beautiful people
Well I've tried, and I've learned
You just can't polish a turd and I
Know, that I don't belong with the
Beautiful people, beautiful people like
You
So I tried to hide away, I've got
Nice legs, it's a shame about the boat race, a
Face for radio, no Stevie Nicks, I've been
Beaten black and blue with the ugly stick
And I watch, but I don't understand, the
Celebrity shows with the perfectly tanned with their
Perfect teeth and their perfect houses their
Perfect lives with their perfect spouses it's
Skin deep, such a
Waste, a nice smile doesn't buy you taste and it's
Shallow, there's no meaning in
Selling your pictures to Hello! Magazine but it's
Hard to take when you comprehend you will
Never be one of the beautiful people
Slam the door in your fucking face, you will
Never be one of the beautiful people
Well I've tried, and I've learned
You just can't polish a turd and I
Know, that I don't belong with the
Beautiful people, beautiful people like
You
But I've found my tribe now, I've got my fam and I
Know who they are, they are fucking amazing, I
Know they accept me the way that I am, they're
Beautiful people in all kinds of ways
But not beautiful people like
You
But not beautiful people like
You I've tried, but I've learned
You just can't polish a turd and I
Know, but I just don't care I will
Never be one of the, beautiful people
communication breakdown

feat. Becky Kelly on lead vocal
From the album open up my beagle eyes, August 2023
Here we go, off again, did I say something
Really stupid, not for the first time, I never
Learn, I shoot my mouth off and you
Burn, I didn't mean to cause you pain
We never talk about it, we soldier
On, we hide the cuts pretend we're strong
Didn't mean to be cruel, I'm a fool it is
Pretty obvious, I get obnoxious, when I get
Drunk, a lack of judgement once
Again, I didn't mean to cause you pain
We never talk about it, you shut the
Door, I build a bridge, you build a wall
And who's to blame? It comes from
Misconnection, alienation
It's such a shame, no need for
This communication breakdown
I can see how it seems, so I beg you for
Your forgiveness, a messy business, I understand
Why you would hesitate to
Take, another chance on me again
We never talk about it, we close our
Eyes, so this should come as no surprise
Communication is the key
Communication is the key
If there is hope for you and me
Lying here in our bed, I want to touch you but
You’re a fortress, impregnable and cold as
Steel, I search for gaps but I can't
Feel, a way to get inside your armour
Could we just talk about it? Just let me
In, open the drawbridge let's begin again
And who's to blame? It comes from
Misconception, alienation
It's such a shame, no need for
This communication breakdown
We need to talk about it, we need to
Find a way to make it to the other side
We need to talk about it, we need a
Plan, we need to give ourselves a second chance
We need to talk about it

(Well) I dunno I dunno I dunno but
I've been told the future's looking
Supercharged and ubersexy
Welcome to the land of opportunity
But it feels to me like we're
Stuck in reverse, going backwards quickly
Not a lot of fun, where's my Unicorn gone?
Getting sick of living in the dogshit uplands
Living in the dogshit uplands
Living in the dogshit uplands
Living in the dogshit uplands
And what they say and what they mean
Are not exactly what they seem
It's in the spaces inbetween
Sometimes you need to read between the
Lines
So let's count our blessings, 123, we've got
Blue passports and sovereignty and the
Crown on our pint pots, give me three cheers, well it's
Something you can look at while you're crying in your
Beer
Living in the dogshit uplands
Living in the dogshit uplands
Living in the dogshit uplands
And what they say and what they mean
Are not exactly what they seem
It's in the spaces inbetween
Sometimes you need to read between the
Lines
And sovereignty is a double edged sword, swapped the
Bureaucrats in Brussels for the wankers in the Lords and the
House of Commons is a den of iniquity
Fuckers making millions out of dodgy PPE
And what they say and what they mean
Are not exactly what they seem
It's in the spaces inbetween
Sometimes you need to read between the
Lines, so watch your step in the dogshit
Uplands, they'll steal your rights in the dogshit
Uplands, we'll pay the price for the dogshit
Uplands, with a lost generatiom
With a fractured Nation
And I hate to say that we told you so but we
Told you so
And what they say and what they mean
Are not exactly what they seem
It's in the spaces inbetween
Sometimes you need to read between the
Lines, so watch your step in the dogshit
Uplands, they'll steal your rights in the dogshit
Uplands, we'll pay the price for the dogshit
Uplands, and just remember next time you
Vote, that what they say and what they mean
Are not exactly what they seem
It's in the spaces inbetween
Sometimes you need to read between the
Lies

From the album open up my beagle eyes, August 2023
Some days I wish that I never met you
Some days I want you to go away
Some days I hurt if I just don't see you
Some days I smile if I see your face
You pick me up, you bring me down
You spin me round then you disappear
You tell me: how the hell am I
Supposed to
Understand just where we stand? It's
Mad, and I don't know
Why, I can't think straight
Though I try and
Try, I just can't
Get you off my
Mind
I wish that I could forget about you
Go back in time and obliterate
I'd bleach my mind to remove the problem
Gouge out my eyes to be super safe
I just can't stand this up and down
You heat me up then you leave me cold
You tell me: how the hell am I
Supposed to
Understand just where we stand? It's
Cruel and I don't know
Why, I can't stop this
Though I try and
Try, I just can't
Get you off my
Mind
If there's a god maybe he can hear me?
I hope that he will receive my plea
It's not like I'm asking for a lambor-
Ghini, should be an easy thing to achieve
I need mind bleach, I want to clean
My brain then start it back up again
I need mind bleach, to disinfect
My brain then start it back up again
I need mind bleach, I have to purge
My brain of all of your memories
I need mind bleach, I want to clean
My brain press
Control Alt Delete and start again
I just don't know
Why, you won't leave me
Though I try and
Try, I just can't
Get you off my
Mind

Staring at the sky, looking
For your vapour trail
Coming in to land, with
Avenging angels hanging on your
Tail, it's the consequence of a
Sequence of events
I am listening for the
Sound of sirens but in my defense
I'm burning down the house
I'm pumping up the volume
I'm betting everything
That this is not illusion
I always thought you would never see
I only dreamed we could ever be
I always hoped one day you and
I could be more than just passers
By
I will never learn, I've been
Hit by cupid's dart
Groove is in the heart, it's an
Arrow wound that keeps on bleeding
Out, there must be a cure, give me
Stitches make me whole
Spin the world around take me
Dancing let me see your soul and
I'll be your biggest fan
I'll be your Rocinante
I'll take you anywhere
If you just say you want me
I always thought you would never see
I only dreamed we could ever be
I always hoped one day you and
I could be more than just passers
By

feat. Dread Pirate and RyLi on harmony vocals
Another solar year, and nothing
Happens here, we pass through the nadir
Another New Year's Eve, we try hard
To believe that this time we'll succeed
We're living on a prayer, we hope
Despite the proof, the inconvenient truth
But hope is all there is, we play the
Optimist, or sink in the abyss
We think that we're alive, keep going
To survive, sleep, eat and pass the time
We're spinning round and round, we fill our
Days with sound, we're six feet underground
I'm waiting for the sun, to show it’s
Face again, I hate the cold and rain
I'm holding on to dreams, to pleasant
Memories, to parties in a field
Won't let it bring me down, what’s the
Alternative? It's do or die you see
So focus on the path that brings you
Out of this, to better times ahead
Another solar year, and nothing
Happens here, we pass through the nadir
Another New Year's Eve, we try hard
To believe that this time we'll succeed
We're living on a prayer, we hope
Despite the proof, the inconvenient truth
But hope is all there is, we play the
Optimist, or sink in the abyss
We think that we're alive, keep going
To survive, sleep, eat and pass the time
We're spinning round and round, we fill our
Days with sound, we're six feet underground
We're six feet underground
We're six feet underground

feat. Luke Austin on some of the guitar parts
Cursing my luck again
Feeling the sting
Forcing a smile again
Faking a grin
This is the final dance
Hard times ahead
Straight for the jugular
Knocking you dead
Going down, we're set for disaster
Going round and round ever faster
You and me we don't pull together
You and me could do so much better
I can't take no more, life is too damn short
I won't fake no more, on a road to nowhere
Now I see the light, I can put this right
And I realise, I must pull the ripcord now
This is the tipping point
This is the day
Feeling the energy
Riding the wave
You are the one I want
You are the prize
I'd be your Romeo
I'd treat you right
Come on round, come on now and try me
Come on down, the past is behind me
You and me we should be together
You and me could be so much better
I can't take no more, life is too damn short
I won't fake no more, on a road to nowhere
Now I see the light, I can put this right
And I realise, I must pull the ripcord now
You could be anything
Could you be mine?
It's just a step away
Crossing that line
Take a chance, let's do this together
Second chance to make something better
You and me, it's all that we need now
You and me against all the world now
I can't take no more, life is too damn short
I won't fake no more, on a road to nowhere
Now I see the light, I can put this right
And I realise, I must pull the ripcord now
I must pull the ripcord now
I must pull the ripcord now
