out of time (no tomorrow)

can't get by without the high

the death of liberty

a million miles away

From the album The Death Of Liberty Jul 2018

You sleep in the daytime, you live in the dark

Keep trying to reach out, you've stolen my heart

But every time I miss your spark

Now I'm a pretender, a shambling ghost

All of my letters got lost in the post

And I don't know what hurts the most

Because you

Slay me with a glance you

Make me think I have a chance

But I know it's all a fantasy

And you don't really see me

Even though you're next to me

Well you're a million miles away

Even though you're next to me

You're a million miles away

So what can I do or say??

To make you

Feel the same way

Well I keep crashing on your rocks

Keep betting all against the odds

But every time I end up all alone

You

Slay me with a glance you

Make me think I have a chance

But I know it's a fantasy

And you don't really see me

Even though you're next to me

Well you're a million miles away

Even though you're next to me

You're a million miles away

Away

Please spare me a minute, throw me a bone

Give me a picture to keep on my phone

And I can go home with a smile

Well it's so abnormal, it's so uncool

Yes I'm an ejit, a miserable fool

But I can't stop from feeling

Truly madly deeply dippy

Slay me with a glance you

Make me think I have a chance

But I know it's not meant to be

I just need a remedy

To cure this lovesick malady

Maybe I'll just go to sea

Or join the Foreign Legion

Even though you're next to me

Well you're a million miles away

Even though you're next to me

Well you're a million miles away

Even though you're next to me

Well you're a million miles away

Even though you're next to me

Well you're a million miles away

From the album The Death Of Liberty Jul 2018

Too much too young what a terrible shame

Kids dodge bullets in a bombed out citadel

Hide and seek when they hear the warplanes

Drop their barrel bombs bringing down new hell

Looking like no one's gonna take a stand

Planes keep showering death from above as the

World just watches on, wringing it's hands

Hear a lot of talk but we don't feel the love

Seven long years and nothing much changes

Most of my people have left their homes, tell me

What would you do now if you were in my shoes?

Sit round and wait 'til they send in the drones?

So it's time to leave; just grab what you can

Head out the door and just keep on walking

Looking for succour in an alien land

Looking for shelter where there's no more war pigs

Dead meat - pounding the street

Every day's a struggle when there's nothing to eat

Dead beat - well I just need to sleep in a

Place where the bombs and the bullets can't find us

Hitched one lift then another then another

Every place we came to was a bombed out shell

Looking for charity; help from a brother

All in the same fix; huddled in a death cell

Move in the dark. Dodging the sharks

Breathing in diesel. Tasting sand 'til we

Came in time to the crystal shore line

Over the horizon lies the promised land

And we met a man said he had a plan, got a

Cousin with a boat who's gonna take us there but the

Trips not cheap; you gotta dig deep

Gamble all your money on a wing and a prayer

Set off at midnight into the dark

Two hundred souls in a battered old freighter

Low in the water; under the deck

Close my eyes and pray I see you later

Dead meat - pounding the street

Every day's a struggle when there's nothing to eat

Dead beat - well I just want to sleep in a

Place where the bombs and the bullets can't find us

Five days at most; the motor is toast;

Drifting free beneath the beating sunshine

Nothing to drink and everything stinks

Ready to die and yet we're still not giving in

Sweating fear then I hear redemption

Motor launch with a deep bass engine

You don't know how it feels to come alive

'Til you know that you've been thrown a line

Make land though it's not what I planned

In a prison though they call it a camp but there's

Running water for my baby daughter

No warplanes; no barrel bombs

Got nothing but the clothes we're wearing

Lost everything but we're still breathing

And you think that I've come here to

Steal your job and undermine you?

Refugee - this wasn't my choice

Got no rights and so I've got no voice I'm a

Migrant - can you understand

The pain I've been through just to get to this land?

Just walk a mile in my shoes and

Maybe then you'll start to see the truth, I'm a

Fugee - this happened to me and I

Pray to the gods that it doesn't happen to you

From the album The Death Of Liberty Jul 2018

Back in time to the nineteen seventies

Feel the groove feel the cosmic serenity

Getting down to this ripped off bassline

Getting high on the smell of gasoline

Let me go, let me go, let me go now

Nunchuk ninja banging on my thigh bone

It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap yeah

Too funk to duck (yeah) too funk to duck

Got my rat on: smokin' on the barbie

Got my hat on; you can’t see me

As I slide by siphoning your gas tank

Cos I got no money in the funkin' bank

Politicians man, they don't have a clue

The damage that Brexit can do to you

Well I used to have a job, used to pay my dues

Now I'm drowning in debt and funkin IOUs

So I'm calling on you - Motherfunkers

Michael Gove; Boris Johnson; You Motherfunkers

Two whole years of negotiation

With nothing to show to the population

David Davis didn't do a damn thing

Sat around polishing his ding-a-ling

So we left in a cloud of disgrace

Cut off our nose to spite our face

And the jobs started flooding away

I got my P45 in the post today

Get your rat on: throw it on the barbie

Turn your vat on, make some moonshine

Zero hours contract only when they need me

Picking fruit in the blazing sunshine

I had a plan gonna get into jam gonna

Exploit the trade deal we made with Guam

But the price of damsons went sky high

When the EU workers walked on by

So come on tell me why? - Motherfunkers

David Davis; Liam Fox; You Motherfunkers

Sitting on an island staring at the whirlpool

Stagnant thoughts in a stagnant gene pool

No way out no there ain't no exit

Closed down the doors with their funkin Brexit

Lost my job, lost my car, lost my house yeah

Universal credit is a funkin' nightmare

Lost my wife, lost my mind, lost my will to live

I got funkin' nothing else to give

350 million pounds a week

You motherfunkers

350 million pounds a week

You motherfunkers

Iain and Duncan Smith; You Motherfunkers

Got my rat on: smokin' on the barbie

Got my hat on; you can’t see me

As I slide by siphoning your gas tank

Cos I got no money in the funkin' bank

Politicians man, they don't have a clue

The damage that Brexit can do to you

Well I used to have a job, used to pay my dues

But Brexit's more deadly than funkin' kung fu

Tell me what do I do now? - Motherfunkers

From the album The Death Of Liberty Jul 2018

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

out of time (no tomorrow)

From the album The Death Of Liberty Jul 2018

Out of time

So it seems that we don't give

Many shits about our part

In passing on a place to live

That is dying on it's arse

Swimming in the plastic sea

Breathing in the NOx

Drowning in our apathy

Armageddon days are here

Again

We close our eyes and we pretend that

Everything is rosy

Everything is great

Everything is peachy

And anyway it's too damn late

To make a shred of difference so there's

No tomorrow

Watch another ice sheet melt

See the sea rise one more notch

Climate change is not to blame

It’s just people chucking rocks

If you live up on a hill

You can sleep more easily

Watch the poor folk go to hell

While you count your money and kid

Yourself

That this is a conspiracy and

Everything is rosy

Everything is great

Everything is peachy

And anyway it's too damn late

To make a shred of difference so there's

No tomorrow

Out of time - don't give a crap about pollination

Out of time - I'm more concerned about my next vacation

Out of time - no fucks are given for the next generation

No tomorrow (out of time)

red white and blue

From the album The Death Of Liberty Jul 2018

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

need your love

From the album The Death Of Liberty Jul 2018

Need your love, I need your love

Let me know, just let it show

Hold me close, don't let me go

Take your time and we'll be fine

I thank my stars every single day

You make me smile when you look my way

Got so much more that I need to say

Your loving shines yes your love is brave

You make me whole you're my counterweight

Need your love, I need your love

Happy that we're together

You make this life much better

When you're with me

Nothing can get to me and so we

Started with little steps but

Soon we were running barefoot

Blazing our trail together

We'll never fail

I pinch myself every single day

I can't believe that you feel the same way

Feel your love, I feel your love

Your loving shines yes your love is brave

You make me whole you're my counterweight

Feel your love, I feel your love

Don't leave me now or ever

Let this go on forever

Stay by my side

Stick along for the ride

Whatever life chucks at us

I know that you and I can

Weather the storm

Make it through to the dawn

I thank my stars every single day

You make me smile when you look my way

Need your love, I need your love

Your loving shines yes your love is brave

You make me whole you're my counterweight

Need your love, I need your love

Feel your love, I feel your love

Need your love, I need your love

Feel your love, I feel your love

Need your love, I need your love

Oh pastry case take me to

Another place of happy

Times inside my mind

Succulent meat it's always a

Real treat you make me

Wet inside my head

I like to lick the tin never

Miss a bit I love the

Rich gravy inside

Well I'm so full of joy I'm a

Happy boy when there's some

Steak and kidney to bake

And I confess sometimes I can

Make a mess - I just can't

Wait around for a plate

Straight from the tin no fussing no

Fiddling just go in

Deep and eat and eat and eat

Other pies, well they're for other guys

Not bad, but I won't compromise

I need the pies that come within

Blue tins with hard to open lids

Built to survive a nuclear

Bomb and withstand a hundred years

Sat in my kitchen cupboard I've no no fears

With Fray Bentos on my side

And now I've heard that you can save

Time by putting them straight in the

Microwave - a new concept for me

Pioneers of pie technology

Pasties are not the same at all

Though they can be acceptable

When you're off in your motor car

And you don't have a tin opener

But if you want the real deal then you should

Get Fray Bentos for your meal

(Fray Bentos) P-P-P-Pie Perfection

(Fray Bentos) Oh what a great selection

(Fray Bentos) Of meaty flavours

(Fray Bentos) The p-p-pastry saviours

(Fray Bentos) So stuff your pasties

(Fray Bentos) And lattice nasties

(Fray Bentos) The one and only

(Fray Bentos) You are the Holy Grail of meat based pastry products

this life

From the album The Death Of Liberty Jul 2018

Meet a girl. In a whirl. She's a keeper

Something old. Something new. Something blue

Backward glance. Bad romance. Take a chance

Wedding bells. Something smells. Go to hell

Well we all sing the song

Make it up as we go along

Violate. Copulate. Procreate

Incubate. Replicate. Generate

Little toes. Little eyes. Little cries

Curious. Wonderous. Glorious

Well we tumble and turn

We all live and we learn

Do our best to survive

Only one chance at this life

Busy times. Kiddy rhymes. Nursery crimes

Sunny days. Catching rays. Happy face

See them all. Growing tall. Strong and stable

Passing years. As your fears. Disappear

Well we tumble and turn

We all live and we learn

Do our best to survive

Only one chance at this life

Treachery. Misery. Infidelity

In denial. For a while. But it's futile

Terminate. Separate. Relocate

New address. What a mess. Unhappiness

Well we all sing the song

Make it up as we go along

Find a way. Through the maze. Back to freedom

Meet a girl. In a whirl. Something deeper

Something old. Something new. Something blue

Second round. Settle down. Find your happy now

Well we all sing the song

Make it up as we go along

Well we tumble and turn

We all live and we learn

Do our best to survive

Only one chance at this life

can't get by without the high

From the album The Death Of Liberty Jul 2018

Addiction. Affliction

I'm a passenger with no volition

I feel the need and I must

Heed the voices telling me that

Destructive behaviour

Will deliver me from sin and that the

Only way to find salvation

Is to keep on giving in and

Paranoia

Keeps on feeding me the lie

You can't get by

Without the high

Distorted. Reflection

I see my face but there is no connection

All I can focus on is

How I'll get that next injection

And I don't care, who gets hurt

I'll do anything to hit that paydirt

Hit the motherlode - then I

Explode into a supernova

Paranoia

Keeps on feeding me the lie

You can't get by

Without the high now

No escape from

This addiction

Zombie walking

Zombie talking

I need some therapy

To end this misery

Help me find my way back

Addiction. Confliction

Going nowhere in my private prison

Help me unlock the door cos

I can't do this anymore and

I'm ticking. A time bomb

Self destruction is the only outcome

I want to stop the clock and

Turn it back to where it was but

Paranoia

Keeps on feeding me the lie

You can't get by

Without the high

Can't get by without the high
