I can’t get enough vilification I can’t slag off enough this great nation Vilify, vilify, vilify, vilify I can’t get enough, I can’t get enough Well Rishi wants to Prevent Any criticism of the government He’s just a poor millionaire When he sits upon a chair His feet dangle in mid air I can’t get enough, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey That’s what I say I can’t get enough vilification I can’t wait for deradicalisation Vilify, vilify, vilify, vilify I can’t get enough, I can’t get enough When I’m watchin’ my TV And this man comes on and shows me Just how white his shirt can be But he don’t talk like a human, I’d like to see him Deradicalise me I can’t get enough, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey That’s what I say I can’t get enough vilification I can’t wait for deradicalisation

Mhairi Black 02:26
There is a new MP and her name’s Mhairi Black She’s gone to Westmonster now there’s no turning back Paisley and South Renfrewshire are so proud of her Because she got rid of Douglas Alexander No more will parliamentary language be RP They did not foresee the rise of the SNP If you look hard enough into the setting sun Mhairi will laugh in the face of David Cameron I see a black door with a 10 on Downing Street I see some millionaires press Ctrl Alt Delete I see Mhairi walk through the door with her degree Which she’s still studying for unlike Jim Murphy I see a line of coke go up George Osborne’s nose I see a young girl shout The Emperor has no clothes I see people turn their heads and quickly look away They’re called shy Tories, more like shite bags I would say I want to see the Commons painted black, black as night, black as coal And Rupert’s Sun blotted out. And Sky. Mhairi, Mhairi, Mhairi, Mhairi Black.

Sychofantile 01:02
Sycophantic and infantile That’s the state of the British Isles Home of the shitfaced and shipwrecked Don’t panic, just genuflect Don’t panic, just genuflect Never mind reality Celebrate the pageantry Just pretend it’s all OK Sycofantile in the UK Sycofantile in the UK Fawn and grovel all of the day Fawn and grovel all of the day

Live With It 01:41
I got nasty habits, it comes with the job I get to be mean when I want to I’m a lazy slob Yah my donors keep me wealthy And help me out this mess I’ve changed my mind so many times Learn to live with it plebs Come on now, people Back on your heads in the shit Come on now, covid Don’t you want to live with it? And New Zealand thinks it’s meaningless To say you gotta learn to live with it Don’cha think we need more empty platitudes? It is what it is I’ve got a scare of whorebrained children They’re all locked in the nursery I got Carrie in bed and a useless cabinet They’re so 19th century Come on now, people Back on your heads in the shit Come on now, covid Don’t you want to live with it?

High Horses 03:04
Watching poor tories Suffer again Now they’ve decided That they are in pain False victimhood babies Say they can’t admit They are conservative Without taking a hit On their High horses Getting carried away High, high horses They’ll fall off them some day They control the media Westminster too Still they cry ‘Bullying!’ Boo hoo hoo hoo Self-righteous dullards Crying in their Chablis Won’t somebody listen? Set these poor souls free High horses Getting carried away High, high horses They’ll fall off them some day

You ask us to lay off the heat on the man you love You tell us you’ve got a plan, well that’s a laugh Oh who are you to tell us what to do? That’s up to us, yes, our ‘loved ones’ too You better move on Well I know you can shut up Whitty and Vallance on a whim But I believe you’re sheltering under Dom’s wing Still you beg us to set him free But my friend, that will never be We’re not moving on

Wadin’ through the waste of Westminster And there’s not a friend to help you through Douglas, dry your eyes – they won’t save yer Drop your friends and start to sing the blues Thank you for your oil, Caledonia Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits Thank you for the whisky for our parties Thank you for your servile attitude So come on, come on down to Westminster Jacob Rees Mogg begs you Come on, Douglas Ross, you got it in ya We’ve got to scrape the shit right off their shoes So come on, come on down to Westminster Come on, ya lightweight, we want you Come on, Douglas Ross, you got it in ya We’ve got to scrape the shit right off our shoes

We were on the cliff edge and Theresa May says Rollover Willie, Ruth and Kez, Theresa May sez Rollover So they all rolled over but Nicola said No So Theresa May said Now is not the time, naw it’s no Now is not the time, naw it’s no Here’s Tank Girl and Fluffy They know what to say They’ll do what mummy says (Mummy says you’re bad), Do what mummy says (Mummy says you’re no getting out to play), Do what mummy says – Mummy May Now is not the time, naw it’s no Now is not the time, eat your cereal Now Willie and Kezia Are inclined to agree They’ll do what mummy says too (it’s not fair!), Do what mummy says (Know your place), Do what mummy says – Mummy May

I saw him today in a hospital Being told he had wrecked the NHS By a man who accused him of deception But he just lied to him and said there are no press This cunt always gets what he wants This cunt always gets what he wants This cunt always gets what he wants And if he doesn’t, he’ll try To lie, lie, lie “There’s no press here.”

I’ll pledge allegiance to the Queen For the purposes of the job Or swear on the life of my Auntie Jean I cannae just shut ma gob I’ll cross my fingers as I speak Cos that makes it OK Nick some chips, I’m here all week Then back to Paisley I didnae get chucked oot I didnae get chucked oot I didnae get chucked oot I didnae get chucked oot – yet It’s time to get down and dirty With the SNP Waiting to be section thirtied Waiting to be free So if you’re feeling down or listless Or if you have the fear Have yourself a Mhairi Christmas And a happy new year I’m dreaming of a Mhairi Black Christmas Buy my Christmas album! Sex! Politics! Sausage Rolls!

Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of mirth and taste I've been around for long, long years 50, in fact, and another eight I was around when Tony Blair Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Cameron Washed his hands and sealed his fate Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game I started the Daily Reckless When I saw it was a time for a change Wrote a song every single day And Scotland screamed in vain I wrote a show For the Fringe, don't you know Featured on TV And the radio Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah Ah, what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah I've worked with Stewart Lee And Armando Iannucci And for one decade On the stand-up stage I shouted out As The Sensational Alex Salmond Band Up and down the land My pedigree speaks for itself I even wrote for Grant Stott, right? I was called the silver-haired troubadour By the Evening News one night In 2016 I was number one In the BBC's Week in Politics chart I'm Throbbing Thistle And They Might Be Gannets, sir The Artist Formerly Known As Tinsel And Black Paternoster In the year 2011 I was Fife Comedian Of The Year My album Bam Glam's been nominated For Scottish Album Of The Year So if you need me, I've loads of CDs And some mp3s all over the place YouTube - over two million hits And a song every week day Pleased to meet you If you haven't guessed my name It's Tommy Mackay Dailyreckless.com

Flights of fantasy from your plush upholstered settee Talking to some rich folk that you know On the GBeebies, spewing conspiracies Let your hair down and candy floss beard grow Take them down little Neilie take them down I know you think you're the King of the Underground Saying woke-a-nauts are using death spaniels Ear flapping woke-a-nauts in space Woke-a-nauts cancelling Christmas And woke-a-nauts just laughing in your face
