Calling All The Cunts
02:07

In your mind you have capacities, you know
To think about how you want the planet to go
Please close your eyes and concentrate
With every thought you think
Upon the recitation we’re about to sing
Calling all the cunts who voted Tory and laughed
Are you still laughing as they turn the country and the planet into crap

Non Essential Journey
03:54

So hard to find the inspiration
To say 100,000
And try to sound as if you really care
And your jokes don’t make me laugh
They only make me feel like dying
and in an unguarded moment…
So long, long between mirages
You’ll always find me drinking
At least Ken Dodd always combed his hair
To sing a sad song*
But you only make me feel like drinking
and in an unguarded moment…
So deep, deep without a meaning
Unmoving, ungrieving
Mumbling insincerity and lies
And your words, puffed up PR
They only make me feel like seething
In an unguarded moment
Don’t come back to Scotland
cos in an unguarded moment
On your non essential journey…
And in an unguarded moment
On your non essential journey…

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?

Ping!
01:23
|
|||
|
Ping! Oh christ what do I do now ?
Ignore it or hide?
Try to isolate somehow
Or give up and die
At first they told us to comply
Do what the app says, do or die
But then they changed their policy
Saying do what you like, especially if you’re over 80

Drop The Pilot Scheme
01:13
|
|||
|
I’m right off target, my aim is squint
So you’ve got covid, I say what of it?
How many lies can I get away with
It doesn’t matter, the polls stay positive
Drop the pilot scheme, I’m in isolation
Drop the monkey into this anxious freedom nation
Drop the yahoo, I’m an easy liar
Don’t use your army to fight a losing battle
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I am none of these, I am none of these

Saw it on a bridge near Bristol
Could’ve been a title for the Pistols
It doesn’t really matter cos it doesn’t really hurt
Boris is a coked up pervert
People think he’s rough and tousled
Let the bodies pile up in their thousands
It doesn’t really matter cos it doesn’t really hurt
Boris is a coked up pervert
People seem to like him down south
He’s got a potty full of ashes for a mouth
He’s not a man of the people, he’s a man of
the rich
In his own words by now he should be dead
in a ditch
Do you need another verse of this anguish
About this rancid streak of stale pish
It doesn’t really matter cos it doesn’t really hurt
Boris is a coked up pervert

The More You See Me
01:37
|
|||
|
The more you see me
The less you want me
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every trip I just enrage you
But I’m screwed without you
And so it goes
I can’t imagine
How much you loathe me
And it gets worser
As crises go by
I only hide in fridges
To play hard to get
No section 30
You can’t say goodbye
Aye right

Boris told me, yes, he told me, Learn to live with it
He also told me, “stay away, you’ll never know what you’ll catch.”
Just the other day I heard we’re going to ease off
Throwing in the towel, don’t muffle that cough
But it’s alright, oh no, it’s not right, it just seems a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, in Plague Island today, ay, ay, ay.
Lift all restrictions and precautions, chuck your masks aside
Meet the new variant, worse than the last variant, open your arms wide
We could be the hottest covid zone in the whole world
We watched it coming home, we saw how it unfurled
But it’s alright, oh no, it’s not right, it just seems a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, in Plague Island today, ay, ay, ay.
Whatever happened to following science? Who needs science, eh?
Science can’t protect our profits, Science – go away!
Evidence and solid proof are just holding us back
Fuck the science, fuck alliance, fuck the fucking facts
But it’s alright, oh no, it’s not right, it just seems a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, in Plague Island today, ay, ay, ay.

Dawn
She’s all out of faith, this is how she feels
That man should be ashamed
Lying on the commons floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
She’s wide awake and telling the truth in a perfect storm
Say it like it is
Get them telt, Dawn

Blame It On The Rona
01:29

Supermarket shelves are emptyin’
And that is quite a bad thing
But I’m gettin contradictin’
Reasons why
I’ve just been down to Tesco
And there’s no shelf stacker go slow
The problem seems to be with the supply
Don’t blame it on the Brexit
Or the lorry drivers exit
Don’t blame Boris’s brass neck
Blame it on the rona
Don’t you blame it on sunshine
Don’t blame it on the gaslight
Don’t blame it on all the lies
Blame it on the rona
Woo
I just can’t
I just can’t
I just can’t find any cheese
I just can’t
I just can’t
I just can’t find any beets
I just can’t
I just can’t
I just can’t find any cheese
I just can’t
I just can’t
I just can’t find any beets

Chain Gang

I saw a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
In a hi-vis jacket oh my
When is it time for you to repay, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Your debt to society
But you’re back on the gravy train (ho-ah)
O-oh, get back on the chain gang (ho-ah)
Darius Guppy’s on the phone, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Wants to get some journalist beaten up
A Bullingdon buddy who wants to crack ribs, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
So you give him the number of the journalist
Then get back on the gravy train (ho-ah)
O-oh, (ho-ah)
Get back on the chain gang
The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Covered in sleaze
They don’t care what they do to you
They don’t care what they say
Knowing they’ll always get bail
They’ll fall to ruin one day
Or end up in jail
I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
In the happiest days of your life
Smashing up restaurants regularly, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
In the wretched life of an evil heart
Then get back on the gravy train (ho-ah)
O-oh, (ho-ah) get back on the chain gang

Too Many Johnsons
01:33

Piece of cake!
Ooh
Ooh
Too many Johnsons living at No.10
Too many reaching for a piece of cake
Too many Johnsons – it does not make sense
Too many – give us a fucking break
This is your umpteenth child
Another running wild to cause misery
Is this a conspiracy
To conquer the country
Too many Johnsons living at No.10
Too many reaching for a piece of cake
Too many Johnsons – it does not make sense
Too many – give us a fucking break
