SONG LYRIC:
PLASTER WINGS
He lies on the bed
cast all in plaster
At being a martyr
he is a master
but gets to Heaven
not any the faster
Oh how himself he hates
and so it is he mutilates
Way too high are Heaven's gates
Wings come with Learner plates
He's an attention seeker
at the very worst
Throws himself down stairs
yet misses the hurst
By the self-afflictions
he's been cursed
Oh how etc
Lying there at a loss
like he is a plaster cross
No he will never learn
on himself not to turn
He lies etc
Oh how etc
SONG LYRIC:
LOW FREQUENCY
The voice inside my head is mine
It comes from outside earthly time
You worry for my mental health
when I start talking to myself
But it's ok, I'm not insane
He's on a much higher plane
and sees the road way ahead
walking beside me where I tread
Perhaps a freak you think of me
but we're all on low frequency
Change the channel and you'll see
the higher self who'll set you free
Be yourself, yes be yourself
Turn it into your spiritual wealth
Don't dog around in poverty
through a lack of higher frequency
Perhaps etc
(No words - instrumental break)
Perhaps etc
ICECREAM GUERILLAS
Made redundant from British steel
buy an old set of wheels
Get yourself an icecream van
Be a ding-a-ling icecream man
King Kong versus Godzilla
Caught between two cold Attilas
Make mine a swift vanilla
and I'm outta here icecream guerrillas
An icecream war has begun
Two vans already, a third to come
Ring the bells for round three
who's headed for heated liquidity
King Kong etc
Post a sign
with a crossed out cone
Make the estate
an icecream-free zone
Made redundant etc
King Kong etc
SONG LYRIC:
MONEY TO BURN
I don't want to light
a cigar with paper money
I don't think it right
I don't think it funny
There are people starving
could do with that note
There are monied folk
could put food in their throat
I really want you to learn
there are those with money to burn
Yeah I really want you to learn
there are those with money to burn
So you've struck it rich
and you want to celebrate
There are people in the ditch
with whom you could relate
before you hit the big time
before you shut the door
on the life that you led
with others who were poor
I really etc
I don't etc
I really etc (twice)
SONG LYRIC:
YOU CAN'T BEAT IT
You can't beat it
but then again you can
You just ask my dad
or ask your own old man
Better times to be had
in the back of his van
Up t' snicket lad wi t' ferret
The needle's in the groove
Up t' snicket lad wi t' ferret
To the sweet music move
Under a breast-round moon
your gear-stick in place
watch your baby swoon
with the light on her face
She'll be humming to the tune
while through the countryside you race
Up t' etc
Back to town you're headed
before the moon gets bedded
You can't etc
Up t' etc
SONG LYRIC:
FIXTURE
What is that mad mixture
he calls the gods' elixir?
He says it is a fixture
Let me put him in the picture
You're the brain-dead child
of Oscar Wilde
Oh you're the brain-dead child
of Oscar Wilde
Such a dandy is the dude
Well pissed and completely rude
Beats her up in the interlude
with colourful words, non too shrewd
You're etc
Already he's drunk an ocean
now like a film in slow motion
crosses the room with such devotion
Chats up the barman at her demotion
You're etc
What is? etc
You're etc
SONG LYRICS:
I DON'T GIVE A TUP
You're like a sheep
that follows blind
You seek a leader
to trail behind
Could be worse
You might be swine
And I don't give a tup
No I don't give a tup
"Come in boat thirteen
Your number's up"
Out on the lake
we took a boat
Like a woolly white cloud
we were to float
Then you went off
with some silly goat
And I etc
You're like etc
And I etc
DOUBLE NEGATIVE
Lady you've the memory
of a sieve
You talk like you sing
in the double-negative
I tried to teach you
but you won't learn
Seems too the kids
do not discern
Twice as much negativity
won't anyone say "Yes" to me?
Twice as much negativity
won't anyone say "Yes" to me?
The bank that likes
to say Yes says No
Bolt the door
latch the window
There's nobody open
They're alll on guard
The double-negative
hits twice as hard
Twice as much etc
Lady etc
Twice as much etc
SONG LYRIC:
FEET OF CLAY
You're much too noisome
It is every day
that you walk around
with feet of clay
You are Boris Karloff
with treads of concrete
You're Frankenstein's monster
coming up the street
Run run run
Run I say
It's a freaky green giant
Get out of his way
You're no stick in the mud
I'll give you that
but you're looking green
and your head is flat
You've a bolt through your neck
and you're heavy handed
An outer-space horror
seems to have landed
Run run run etc
You're much too etc
Run run run etc (twice)
SONG LYRIC:
WATER OFF A DUCK'S BACK
You've heard of Swan Lake
well I call this Duck Pond
It's a musical composition
on how I've been wronged
Water off a duck's back
that's how it is to me
Water off a duck's back
quack quack quack
as you can see
And then she said to me
I am being ironic yes
but all this dirty water
I gotta get off my chest
Water off etc
Dirty water
Dirty water
Dirty water
Dirty water
You've heard etc
Water off etc
SONG LYRIC:
IN THE SOUP
Now the ice is melting
by the solar
and the O-Zone layer
shifts the polar
It's goodbye oh yeah
to the polar bear
The North is turning South
You'll hear it from the walrus's mouth
Baby have you seen
the penguins troop?
They can go for miles
They're in the soup
along with the bear
It's goodbye oh yeah
The North etc (twice)
Now the ice etc
The North etc (twice)
SONG LYRIC:
SIBERIAN FUR
She's up there on the balcony
Don't you remember her?
The girl with the ice-cold eyes
and wrapped in snow-white fur?
You found her in a cul-de-sac
after some john gave her a smack
Her spotted arm spelt out jack
Siberian fur
You know that's slang
She's the daughter of
a Russian man
who for Redness stood
even to the spilling of his own blood
She's up there on the balcony
Over here in alienation
Out there with the twilight gods
One of the lost congregation
You found her in a cul-de-sac
lying prone and not on her back
Her spotted arm spelt out jack
Siberian fur etc
Repeat 1st verse
Siberian fur etc (twice)
