quantum of sausage

make the windows shake

From the album Quantum Of Sausage, 2021

Hear the rain pound on the patio

Spin the dial round on your radio

Feel the bass boom from your stereo

Shut the world out with your audio because

Rainy days were

Made for playing

Screaming music

Make the windows

Shake

Feel the sun burn on your retinas

Pull on some shades and a nice fedora

Open the doors turn the volume up

Let the world know as you smash it up because

Sunny days were

Made for playing

Reggae music

Make the windows

Shake

Overdrive your

Amplifier

Take it higher

Make the windows

Shake

Make the windows shake

Feel the stress fade as you crank it up

Dancing around like an idiot

Pressure release on a Friday night

Jumping about to The Israelites

Every day is

Made for playing

Iron Maiden

Radiohead

Skinny Lister

Or The Go Team

Doesn't matter

Make the windows

Shake

Make the windows shake

take it on the chin

From the album Quantum Of Sausage, 2021

You say you're going to

Leave me for him - I can't believe it

Pinch my skin make sure

I'm still awake - that I'm not dreaming

Tell me he floats your

Boat and I don't - it's like a dagger

To my heart after

All of these years - and I say

Don't leave me, don't leave me

But it seems that you cannot hear me

You say you don't need me

I know there's

Nothing I can

Do just breathe in and

Take it on the chin

What did I do wrong?

What did I miss - you have to tell me

Help me understand how

We came to this - it wasn't in the plan

When did you lose your

Feelings for me? - it seems to me that

We were okay until

He came on the scene and

You push me, you push me

Out of your life and I am left like

Roadkill behind you and

I know there's

Nothing I can

Do just breathe in and

Take it on the chin

Blessed with hindsight

I can see the writing on the

Wall was there for

All to see, except for me

Time to move forward

Forget the past - that time is gone and now

We move onward upon

Our separate paths - and I can feel the wind

In my sails as I

Head for somewhere new - a brighter future

I will forget the

Wasted time I spent with you and

I hope you, I hope you

Get what you want - I really mean it

You need to, you need to

Work out what the fuck that means and

I grow strong, I grow strong

With every passing day and

I know that it's over

I know there's

Nothing left to

Do but breathe in

Just breathe in and

Take it on the chin

Blessed with hindsight

I can see the writing on the

Wall was there for

All to see

there must be a way

From the album Quantum Of Sausage, 2021

We're sort of stuck in a hole, we try to climb the sides

Can't buy our way out of jail, so we're just killing time

And we surrender ourselves, so we can pay the rent

Keep digging deeper each day, until we're all but spent

We reach the end of the line we have to leave the train here

It's just a matter of time and we have travelled nowhere

A little rest from the mess, a brief recalibration

Remember dress to impress, to help your circulation

We see the sickness beneath, we sense that they are weak

But they are armed to the teeth, we do not dare to speak but

There must be a way to beat this

There must be a way to cheat this

Deflecting bullets and mud, we’re rolling in the deep

Reflecting nothing but dark, they think that we're asleep

And so we head for the coast, we know that life's a beach

You give an inch and you're toast, you must protect your peach

We close our eyes and pretend that this is what we're missing

We seek to follow the trend we need a deeper meaning

A little break by the sea, we're only ankle deep

Convince yourself you are free, with all the other sheep

But we can sense something wrong, on the periphery

We hear the snarling of dogs, they watch us intently

There must be a way to beat this

There must be a way to cheat this

So they divert us with fluff, to keep us busy fools

They tell us we must buy stuff, and we must follow rules

And they divide us with lies to keep us polarised cos

If we are fighting ourselves they get an easy ride

Don't take your eyes off the game, or you will lose your dollar

They give with one hand but take your freedom with the other

And so the show must go on, they look out for the suckers

The circus rolls into town, so roll up all you funkers

We watch the mercury rise, another cracking summer

We make hay while the sun shines, there might not be another

Its on the tip of your tongue, but someone sewed your mouth shut

So no-one hears what you say, no-one cares anyway but

There must be a way to beat this

There must be a way to cheat this

There must be a way to beat this

There must be a way to cheat this

There must be a way

land of the free

From the album Quantum Of Sausage, 2021

Right to Life

We will

Take control

If you

Do not do as we say, we're gonna make you pay

Your free will

Willed away

No more pills

Without

Feeling the consequence of your licentiousness

Declare infanticide, record a deadly crime

If you should

Terminate

Accidents

Will be

Subject of scrutiny, in case of butchery

Assuming foul play, we're gonna make you pay

Don't you dare

Try to hide

Precious life

Inside

You're just a carrier, of something holier

An incubation pod, this is ordained by God

This will not

Be the end

They will push

They will

Take care of everything, make sure you're following

They'll pass a dozen laws, your body is not yours

If you're not

Truly scared

Please wake up

This is

The thin end of the wedge, where will they take it next?

They won't be satisfied, until you're crucified

And step by step they stroll, toward their final goal

The bible as the rule, secular public schools

We need to separate, the church out from the state

Our basic laws defined by fact not bible rhymes

And it might come to be, star strangled banner waves

Over the Land of Creed, home of religious slaves

The homeland of the brave

the monsters live among us

From the album Quantum Of Sausage, 2021

Sleep but not to dream

Hold your silent scream

Keep it deep inside

Hide it from the light

Father lifts the sheet

For his special treat

Tells his little girl

That this is normal

So tiny pieces erode

They take a part of her soul

With every kiss, every touch

The monsters live among us, the monsters live among us

Broken on the wheel

Scared to think or feel

Silenced with a threat

Your sister will be next

Missing self esteem

Just a piece of meat

He made you and he

Will do as he sees fit

There's nowhere else she can go

But she is frightened of home

With every bruise, every cut

The monsters live among us, the monsters live among us

Comes as no surprise

The darkness in her eyes

The sickness in her guts

When she thinks of love

She was just a child

Innocence defiled

Stolen by the

One who should have saved her

And as she moves through the town

She keeps her eyes to the ground

She doesn't know who to trust

The monsters live among us, the monsters live among us

She watches faces for signs

But smiles hide their designs

You cannot tell who is good

The monsters live among us, the monsters live among us

it will be alright

From the album Quantum Of Sausage, 2021

I don't know where we go what the future holds

I got no crystal ball yeah, don'cha know

We just ride with the tide take it as it comes

We've got no real control yeah

We need to make the best of our chances

Surf the wave to the shore for the hell of it

But sometimes we get wiped out - eat the dirt

Get back up, take a breath, then we start again

The next ride could be wilder

We have to make the best of our chances

Fickle fate will try to trip you

Flip you while you look the other way,

Face the challenge stay in balance

Keep your focus tight…and it will be alright

(You can win, do your thing)

Yeah it will be alright

(You can win, do your thing)

I don't know where we go what the future holds

Or which roads we will follow, anyway

I don't care, if you're there its enough for me

To face up to tomorrow

We will survive one way or another

When the path takes you up to the precipice

You have to make a choice yeah

Take a leap in the dark overcome your fears

And hope for a soft landing

We will survive one way or another

Twisting turning falling like a stone

Not knowing when you'll reach the ground

Brace yourself for what may come next

Keep your focus tight…and it will be alright

(You can win, do your thing)

Yeah it will be alright

(You can win, do your thing)

We have to make the best of our chances

(You can win, do your thing)

Yeah it will be alright

(You can win, do your thing)

And it will be alright

stranger danger

From the album Quantum Of Sausage, 2021

And so I watch you from afar, I feel like a stalker

Can't help the feeling in my heart it pulls me toward ya

And though I try to keep control, it's just getting harder

I close my eyes and count to ten, but hope that you're still there

I wish that I could walk away, and cure myself of

Unhealthy obsession

But life just doesn’t work that way, and I am left with

What might be, if only, if only

Things could turn out like I dream them

If I could get you to see my sparkling personality

If you just knew me better

I wish you weren’t just a stranger, I wish you weren't such a stranger

Who am I kidding only me, I'm not on your radar

I'm just an insect, I'm a flea, I just irritate ya

And I don't know what I must do, to get you to see me,

How can I get the message through, you own me completely

And here's the stupid thing you see: I've no idea if

We'd find some common ground

It's really just a fantasy, I like to think of

What might be, if only, if only

Things could turn out like I dream them

If I could get you to see my misguided sincerity

If you just knew me better

I wish you weren’t just a stranger, I wish you weren't such a stranger

And when I see you in the street

My heart just skips a beat

It's so pathetic, it’s a joke

To think that you might have some sort of

Feelings for me too

(If only) things could turn out like I dream them

If I could get you to see my sparkling personality

If you just knew me better

I wish you weren’t just a stranger, I wish you weren't such a stranger

I close my eyes and count to ten

no fear

From the album Quantum Of Sausage, 2021

The stress is getting to me

Pressure unsettling me

The heat is rising

Sooner or later I gotta come clean

I'm on the edge of my seat

My heart is skipping a beat

My blood is pumping

I've got a secret and I need to share it with you

Right now, tell you how I am feeling

I'm scared you might not feel the same way

What if I blow this, break our friendship?

No fear

So this is bothering me

I know you're out of my league

You are a diamond

I see your smile and it lights up the room

And I'm a miserable loon

Enchanted by this summer moon

I can't escape your gravity

Slave to this passion I feel your attraction and I

Fall down, close my eyes, search for courage

I'm scared you might not feel the same way

What if I blow this, break our friendship?

No fear

The stress is getting to me

Sooner or later I gotta come clean

I'm on the edge of my seat

My heart is skipping a beat

I've got a secret and I need to share it with you

Right now, tell you how I am feeling

I'm scared you might not feel the same way

But I must get this off my chest, I think I love you

No fear, no fear

time out

From the album Quantum Of Sausage, 2021

So I can see clearly, now that the

Mist's disappearing, broken by morning light

We're pinned in the crossfire, nowhere for

Us to escape to, so we must brace for a fight

Deep down in your psyche, you know that

Things are not working out quite as we hoped they would

It's time for the reckoning, time to face

Up to the fact that we need to put this on hold

Time for a break need some

Time and some space while we

Work out the kinks, time to

Sit down and think

Don't take this as goodbye, sometimes you

Need to retreat and see things through different eyes

Let's get some perspective, sort out the

Good from the bad and how we can make it okay

I know it's worth saving, sometimes you

Drive me insane but, I miss your stupid face

We need to remember, what we first

Saw in each other, then we can start off again

I know that we can work it out

I'm sure that we can work it out

I hope that we can work it out

I know that we can work this out, but we need some

Time for a break need some

Time and some space while we

Work out the kinks, time to

Sit down and think

Time…....

Time for a break need some (I know that we can work it out)

Time and some space while we (I'm sure that we can work it out)

Work out the kinks, time to (I hope that we can work it out)

Sit down and think (I know that we can work this out, but we need some )

Time…....

undertow

From the album Quantum Of Sausage, 2021

Must confess I'm astounded

Caught on the blindside by currents surrounding me, I

Should have paid more attention

Missed the inflections that passed for affection and now

Well I guess this is goodbye

Damage is done, there's no way to reverse and rewind

Try and see things through your eyes

Chance for a new life means cutting all ties and I'm

Feeling the body blow

Caught by the undertow

Rip tides are pulling me

Far off and out to sea

Out into the

Deep

So I'm treading deep water

Watching the shore as it fades in the distance and I

Navigate the new normal

Thrashing around but resistance is futile and burns

Those important resources

Focus on staying afloat, on the hunt for a lifeboat

Holding out for a hero

Seeking salvation to take me away from this

Feeling the body blow

Caught by the undertow

Rip tides are pulling me

Far off and out to sea

Out into the

Deep

Rising sun brings redemption

Glints on the rigging a fishing boat on the horizon

And I'm dragged up by my neck

Dried on the deck as I purge the sea water and

Breathe for the longest time

Freed from the salty brine

Reborn and glistening

Glad for the little things

Taking the body blow

Wise to the undertow

Rip tides are pulling me

Far off and out to sea

Out into the

Deep
