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

From the album Convert Feb 2018
Well we came to the end of our road
No more empty words and promises, I guess
Some things are not meant to be
It was fun at times, but too many lies
Took their toll on you and me
We both swore we'd be true, me and you
But forever and ever amen is too damn long
Well it burns you inside, as you choke on the lies
And it gets in your head so you try to forget, but no way
Do what you may
You can't take this away
So we all dip our toes in the sea
Open up and risk the deadly kiss, don’t be
Scared to go back to the beach
Put your flip flops on, take your spade along,
Keep your towel within your reach
We’re all building with sand, make no plans
Count your blessings and chickens and stand against the tide
Don’t forget to have fun as you blunder along
Hold the ones you love close and remember to tell them each day
I want you to stay
Please don’t take this away
And another road takes you away
It’s a mystery, where the end will be, so don’t
Get too hung up on the ride
Just enjoy the view, have a beer or two,
Keep your eyes upon the prize
It’s a beautiful day, make some hay
Hold your lover’s hand tightly, it’s never too early to say I’d love to
Take you out dancing or down to the dog track or
Out for the pub quiz or just for a Big Mac and say
Hold me closer each day
You can’t take this away
Life is a journey, some people leave early
Some others continue, to dance along with you
There’s no way of knowing, how far we’re all going
We bear this affliction, the human condition
As time points it’s arrow towards our tomorrows
They come along faster and faster and faster
So stop for a second and breathe in the moment
And savour the flavour and always remember today
You can't take this away.

Saw a falling light, in a midnight sky
Saw an angel's face from a far off place
She's not from round here
What is she doing here?
And she broke my mind when she took my hand
She showed me things that I could not begin to understand
And now I'm in love
With a cosmic girl from another world
Beyond the Milky Way
She stole my heart away
And now I'm loving an alien
I gave my heart to a starship denizen
So I watch the stars, looking for a sign
I need to hold her in my arms another time
Cause I'm so in love
With a cosmic girl from another world
Beyond the Milky Way
She stole my heart away
And now I'm loving an alien
I gave my heart to a starship denizen
You take me up so high
You take me up so high
You take me up so high
You take me up so high
Here she comes again, on another trip
And she takes me in, to the mother ship
Why did you choose me?
What do you want from me?
Making love in space, for an astral week
Through the spinning stars, I don't want to sleep
Because I'm so in love
With a cosmic girl from another world
Beyond the Milky Way
She stole my heart away
And now I'm loving an alien
I gave my heart to a starship denizen
You take me up so high
You take me up so high
You take me up so high
You take me up so high

Deep down in the Bible Belt
Battle Flag and a Rebel Yell
Heart of Dixie beating hard
We fight for what is ours
Took the land from the Cherokee
Fought the Yanks under General Lee
Lost Cause and a million dead
But we made the fields run red
Well we lost the war
And the slaves were emancipated
Jim Crow laws
To keep the black man in his place by
Segregation
White power, white nation
Ku Klux Klan
We stand, we fight
We dare defend our rights
Catch my eye and I'll string you up son
Strange fruit swinging in the sun
Take you down to the hanging tree
If you should dare to question me
Godfearing protestants
Strictly Old Testament
Eye for an eye for a jealous God
Spoil the child if you spare the rod
But the world's been changing
Since the days of Doctor King
Marching feet been
Kicking doors down, making heat
Integration
Moving like a glacier
We're still here
We stand, we fight
We dare defend our rights
Brave and pure thy men and women,
Better this than corn and wine
Make us worthy, God in Heaven
Of this goodly land of Thine.
Hearts as open as thy doorways.
Liberal hands and spirits free.
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!
Battle Flag and a Rebel Yell
Battle Flag and a Rebel Yell
Battle Flag and a Rebel Yell
Battle Flag and a Rebel Yell
Way down in the Southern Sun
Coosa-Tallapoosa meet
Alabama river runs
Down through Old Montgomery
Pro life we defend the unborn
God's will thou shalt not kill
Unless of course you murder someone
Then you can burn in hell
Twenty five white men
Making laws for pregnant women
No exception
If you were raped then you're the problem
Felony
For anyone who tries to help you
Liberal hands
We stand, we fight
We scratch, we bite
We dare remove your rights

Outside. They move. On the hunt for the non-believers.
Stay low. Eyes down. Keep your head below the parapet, parapet.
Keep still. Lights out. Make no sound if you want to get out of here.
Keep calm. Stay true. Pray if you want but it really won't help you.
Fish out of water. Cuckoo in the nest. You're not like us so we think it's best if you
Move on. Leave this place. No room for difference, got no tolerance.
Be scared. Be afraid. Knock on the door; it's a midnight raid.
Pogrom. Hate crime. Used to be your friends; but now they're on the other side.
You're not like us, you know you don't belong here
You're not like us, you know you don't belong here
Strange fruit. In the trees. Well they swing in the cold cold breeze so
Swing low sweet chariot. Hear the singing of the marionettes.
Boot stamp. Fist grind. We're just here to help you make up your mind.
Binary. No grey. You're either with us or we're taking you away.
Unrest. Civil war. Vigilantes go from door to door and there's
No rules. No law. At the mercy of the kangaroo court.
Judge and jury. Alpha Omega. No reprieve, no there's no one to save you.
Bang bang. You're dead. Feel the noose tightening around your neck.
You're not like us, you know you don't belong here
You're not like us, you know you don't belong here
You're not like us, you know you don't belong here
This is genocide, we're just cleaning up the gene pool
Last night. I dreamt. I lived in a place that was tolerant.
Free speech. Free minds. No fear. No hate crime.
Utopia. Hard won. Rights from the fights down the generations.
Stand up. Defend. Fight for your rights, vive la difference.
You won't break us no you won't defeat us.
You won't break us no you won't defeat us.
You won't break us no you won't defeat us.
Vive la difference, we are Spartacus.
Vive la difference
Vive la difference

From the album Pandemonium Aug 2020
Sunrise, morning kissing the sky like a
Blood red warning out of the East we are
Homeless, moving out of the West to a
New place, hoping we can find rest we are
Subhuman we are
Untermensch on this
Creaking train on this
Endless journey
Show some humanity, show some humanity
Freezing wind, fingers chilled to the bone nothing
Left to lose, stripped of all that we are we are
Untermensch at our
Journey's end as the
Train comes in to the
Final station
Open the door and a wave of humanity
Spills to the floor in a state of insanity
Einsatz Gruppen tell us to get into
Lines, men and children split from their sisters and
Wives, screaming chaos, as they march us through the
Gates of Hades they shave us, take our belongings we're
Subhuman we are
Untermensch we can
Smell the stench of the
Rotting corpses
Welcome to Hell you have now left humanity
And then they strip us standing naked in the cold for hours
Sonderkommando leading us into communal showers
We need to purify you but we know that somethings' missing
They lock the door, we smell a rat, the Zyklon B starts hissing
Subhuman I can't
Understand how a
Single man can
Unleash such inhumanity
They are the untermensch, they are the untermensch
They are the untermensch
They are the untermensch, they are the untermensch
They are the untermensch
They are the untermensch, they are the untermensch
They are the untermensch

From the album Convert Feb 2018
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……

Raised from the deep, from my sleep
From a sweet dream that is fading fast
Speak in tongues, take a leak
While my brain is still engaging
Oh, hello again reality, wishing I was
Someone else instead of being me, hoping for a
Miracle to come and set me free, but I know I'm
Out of luck, it's situation normal, all fucked up
Crunch through the day, for my pay
Wrangling with things that make me die
On the inside, look away
While my soul is being strangled
And I dream of a better place, wishing I was
Somewhere else instead of in this space, hoping for a
Change to come but so far nothing does, and I know I'm
Out of luck, it's situation normal, all fucked up
It's not what I want
It's not what I need
It's not how I saw
The way that things would be
I'm alive, I will survive
Keep on going, live in hope not hate
There's a chance, circumstance
Can resolve before it's too late
And I know that I'm culpable, if I do the
Same time and again, get the same result
Need to modify the things I do if I want things to change
Be that butterfly and beat my wings and start a hurricane
Rock the casbah, roll the dice and take my chance
Whirling like a dervish in a dance
And with a little luck
And perhaps some fairy dust
It's situation normal, not fucked up

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
All 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
All 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
All 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
Now this young dude is old,
And I still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo

I've been struggling, I can't make sense
Of our different views upon the past events
It's all history but I can't stand
How you rearrange facts and cast me as the bad man
Is your conscience alright? Are you sleeping at night?
Can you block out the screams that you hear in your dreams?
No quarter given, mercy is a weakness
No more parlay, Queen of Alternate Reality
Well it's a crime and I get burned you need to stop and learn to take
Your fair share of the blame in this game
I can't believe you get away with all the things you do and say
Paint it white again, hide the stains and walk away
Is your conscience alright? Are you sleeping at night?
Can you block out the screams that you hear in your dreams?
No quarter given, mercy is a weakness
No more parlay, Queen of Alternate Reality
So I'm ready to put this to bed
Tell the story the way that it was meant to be
Forget the lies and tell the truth I know the facts I've got the proof
Let the record show, there were many smoking guns
Is your conscience alright? Are you sleeping at night?
Can you block out the screams that you hear in your dreams?
Look behind you, there you'll find me
Making sure that - the truth will be released
No quarter given, mercy is a weakness
No more parlay, Queen of Alternate Reality

Stone cold, stone heart
So much to tell you but I don't know where to start
Long game, masterplan,
Think about you all the time hoping that you understand
Pump up the volume, kick out the jams
Scream it from the rooftops, stick it to the man
Under control but I want to break free
If I could only breathe you in your love is
Oxygen
Your love is oxygen
About time, to come clean
Ticking like a time bomb, working in the big machine
Retrograde, stepping stone,
And I'm feeling so alone, lone, lone, lone, lonely
Get a grip, take up the slack
Hold on to reality but underneath it's hurting me
Bleeding fingers burning on the rope
If I could only breathe you in your love is
Oxygen
Your love is oxygen
Zut alors! Mon Dieu!
I need to fill the hole, the emptiness is in control
Scheiss Egal! What the funk?
Have you ever had the dream where there's bodies in the trunk
Of the car that you're driving, preying on your brain
Well you know that they are in there but you can't stand the pain
You can't open it, you can't look
If I could only breathe you in your love is oxygen
Oxygen
Your love is oxygen
Somethings coming but I can't see what it is
There's something messing with my extrasensory
Perception. Might be a monster.
Is it a monster? Am I a monster?
Somethings happening I'm floating like a leaf
In a stream of possibility, a river of the here and
Now is the time to cross over to the other side
If I could only breathe you in your love is oxygen
Something's telling me that this is not the way
That I need to hide away, take five, take one for the
Side - I don't need nobody to tell me why
Well this is obvious
Pump up the volume, kick out the jams
Scream it from the rooftops, stick it to the man
Under control but I want to break free
If I could only breathe you in your love is
Oxygen
Your love is oxygen
Your love is oxygen
Your love is oxygen

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

I guess it's true what they say about
Hell and a woman scorned
After ten years of loyalty
You dropped me for that whore
So her dad might be royalty
You're climbing up the tree
Leaving me with the quandary
Of how to show you
How I'm feeling, lost and reeling
Raging, burning, cold as sword steel
Making plans to bring you to heel
I know when all is said and done
You'll regret the day you
Messed with me
Well Titan blood runs in my veins
And I'm a river goddess too
So it should come as no surprise
Got some chops, got some moves
Call it witchcraft I don't care
Call it magic in the air
Please accept these wedding gifts
Give them to your bitch I'm
Sure that she will not reject this
Dress and golden coronet I've
Poisoned both to hasten death's kiss
I know when all is said and done
You'll regret the day you
Messed with me
So I heard that your wedding day
Went off pretty much to script
I didn't plan to kill the King
It was just an accident
Now it seems I'm the victim of
A patriarchal plot
Telling folk I killed our kids
Well I'll tell you I did
No such thing I tried to keep them
Safe from harm but they were taken
By the mob, the dregs of Corinth
Ripped them limb from limb in revenge
Now there's only you and me left
But I know now all is said and done
(Said and d-one)
But I know now all is said and done
(Said and d-one)
I know now all is said and done
You regret the day you
Messed with me
Messed with me

People moving to the sound
There is thunder on the airwaves
And then I see you through the crowd
And I'm wondering where you must have parked your cloud
Seems like heaven is missing an angel
And the demons are circling round
Rolling like an oddball eightball
Swaying like a tree, doing things to me
You're a mystery that I need to solve
I'm firmly resolved to find the key
And girl
I just love the way you move me
Yeah girl
I just love the way you move
This is it, there's nothing else
What you get is what you see
See I'm wearing everything I own
But I'm rich inside like landed gentry
So let's take this gently
Cooling as the summer sun fades away
Rolling like an oddball eightball
Bumping off the baize, I can feel the bass
Pumping through my veins hitting up my brain
It’s the best kind of pain in the world
And girl
I just love the way you move me
Yeah girl
I just love the way you move
You know how to hypnotise
You have my complete attention
You're a sight for tired eyes
You're enough to stop a freight train
I could watch you for a week
Stuck on repeat, yeah, again and again and again
And I don't even know your name
But I'm hoping to set that straight
Rolling like an oddball eightball
Feeding off the bass, moving like a snake
Shaking like a tree in a thunder storm
And I know this is what I've been waiting for
And I know you are what I've been looking for
And girl
I just love the way you move me
Yeah girl
I just love the way you move
I just love the way you move
I just love the way you move

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 assasination
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 assasination
It's a terrible world we're living in
Where the killer is king

Down with the plankton man, need evolution man
So, I try to miss your gaze I
Know that you're trouble and I don't need that
Kind of grief I need
Sweet relief, peace and
Love not war, I've read this
Book and I know how the story goes
I, I know you're watching me you
Need some acknowledgement, some reaction
But, I just won’t play that game it
Leads to the same result, escalation
Fight or flight, give me
Reasons why, I should
Leave this place, I think
This town is quite big enough for us both
But you can't just let it lie
Someone always has to die
And the explanation:
Just an animal, you're just an animal
I, I get your troubled mind it
Seems you were traumatised somewhere back in time
It does not give you rights to
Act like an idiot, throw your weight around
And round, dancing
Like a clown, spinning
On your heel, this is
Too damn real, take it
On the chin, I think
This town is quite big enough for us both
But you can't just let it lie
Someone always has to die

Close my eyes try to block out all of the trivial
Stimuli but my poor brain clings to the visceral
Don't know why it's a hopeless cause, it's irrational
Drawn toward flames by forces that are unstoppable
I resist but I'm compelled
I can't break free of the spell
Broken bones and shattered dreams
A release of energy
I get burnt I don't seem to learn it's a travesty
Fly too close to the Sun than is strictly good for me
Need the heat to feel complete, but it's ethereal
Risk it all, well the cost is just immaterial
It's a dangerous pursuit
Got no backup parachute
Broken bones and shattered dreams
A release of energy
Strange attraction
Chain reaction
Fall apart well I knew this was a scenario
Crashing down to the Terra Firma below me now
I don't mind I have flown high, done the impossible
Lived a life that was so much more than the nominal
It's a dangerous pursuit
Got no backup parachute
High above the mortal things
Feel the wind beneath my wings
I resist but I'm compelled
I can't break free of the spell
Broken bones and shattered dreams
A release of energy
Strange attraction

You reel me in and then you let me go
And I don't know where
All of this is leading
If you are serious or not
I want to see this out, give you
The benefit of doubt
I'm hoping that one day
You'll come to see things my way
Put me on hold, it's cold and clinical
And sometimes I get cynical
Feeling used and
Ever so slighly cut and bruised
So if you want to hold my hand
You need to reach out now
Don't keep me hanging round
Keep playing games, you're driving me insane
And I don't know if
I can go the distance
The road is long and I am tired
I used to be inspired
There was a time when
All I ever wanted was to
Get to know you well
The more I try the more you move away
And I don't understand
This strange resistance
With shifting lines in drifting sands
So if you want to hold my hand
You need to reach out now
Don't keep me hanging round
So I'm just asking for some clarity
Please level with me
Tell me what you're thinking
Look me in the eyes and tell me straight
Cause I can't stand the wait
I'm looking for something
Resembling commitment
If you think you've got it in you
The time has come for you to make your move
And I'm resigned to
Possible rejection
Better than this endless vacillation
So if you want to hold my hand
You need to reach out now
Don't keep me hanging round
So if you want to hold my hand
You need to reach out now
Don't keep me hanging round

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

From the album Lavishly Tooled Jan 2019
No point in pointing out the obvious
Don't waste your breath it's so damn tedious
Deaf to reason, screaming "Treason, you're the enemy"
Blind belief against the evidence that's plain for all to see
Running out of road, heading for the edge
Wish for wings that work, come on, place your bets
No looking back, no turning round, the ground will come to greet us
It's time to learn the hard way gravity cannot be cheated
You can define the path when you know distance, speed and time
You can't escape the facts but you can always close your eyes
Speeding down the road, through the safety wall
Arrogance and pride come before the fall
Free falling yes we're free falling
Free falling yes we're free falling
And I can see the headlines written there in black and white
Nothing to see, it's just a car crash, everybody died
A crazy drunk behind the wheel, somebody should have stopped her
Seems like she didn't hear the screaming passengers, or didn't care
Grabbing at the wheel, looking for the brake
Turn this thing around before it's too damn late
Free falling yes we're free falling
Sleepwalking yes we're sleepwalking
Free falling yes we're free falling
eyes on the prize

From the album Kaiju Jul 2021
So just think for the blink, of a singular eye
About what you're doing here, the where and the why
Consider all your options, deliberate your path
Do you know where you're heading? You only get one chance
If you coast on the surface, if you float with the tide
It's a kind of existence, but it's not really life
So dive deep in the water, and kick against the flow
You can be your own captain, you can decide where you go
Keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your eyes on the prize
Some people are broken, some people are hurt
Some people spend all their time just scratching a living in the dirt
Some people are damaged, some people in pain
Some people got problems, some people in chains
Is it because they deserve it? Well did they do something wrong?
Is it enough for their fate to be defined just by the place that they were born?
And if you find that you're wealthy, if you're born with a silver spoon and too much bread
Do all you can to lift them up, stretch out your hand instead of standing on their heads
Keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your eyes on the prize
Well we come from nothing, and back we go
A small crescendo, diminuendo
We might just make a ripple, a transient wave
A primal scream fading into decay
But don't let that stop you from kicking up a storm
While your heart is beating, while your blood is warm
If you shoot for the heavens, you might reach the sky
You could soar for a moment, all you can do is try
Keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your eyes on the prize
Burn bright as you burn up
Burn bright as you burn up

From the album Homunculus Nov 2019
Well gimme gimme gimme caffeine, to stop my eyes from drooping
A cappuccino or a latte, to keep me vaguely human
Just let me go and get my head down, I'm walking like a zombie
Another girl another planet another night of broken sleep appears before me
There's a spark in my mind (Whoah)
Feel it burning inside (Whoah)
I don't know if it's wrong or right (Whoah)
But I keep dreaming of you every single night
And it's a sickness it's an illness, I'm suffering in silence
I need to find a resolution, a cure for the virus
I need to get you out of my headspace, this is not great for my mental state I'm
Running on empty close to the edge I'm Trying to live but inside I'm dead and
There's this thing in my head (Whoah)
Wakes me up in the dead of night (Whoah)
Good or bad well I can't decide (Whoah)
But I keep dreaming you are there by my side
Morpheus take me
Please don't wake me
Give me sweet dreams
And release me from this mental torment
And it's a sickness it's an illness, I'm suffering in silence
I need to find a resolution, a cure for the virus
There's a spark in my mind (Whoah)
Feel it burning inside (Whoah)
I don't know if it's wrong or right (Whoah)
Feels so good but it's suicide (Whoah)
There's this thing in my head (Whoah)
Wakes me up in the dead of night (Whoah)
Good or bad well I can't decide (Whoah)
But I keep dreaming you are there by my side
communication breakdown
© Asbo Slipz 2023
From the album Open Up My Beagle Eyes Aug 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 under-
Stand, 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 seach 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

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
a brighter life

From the album Lavishly Tooled Jan 2019
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
