Yet another party Came as no surprise Why do they bother Waiting for Sue Gray Another day And he thought well well Go to another party And hang myself Gently on the shelf The death of the country Is of no consequence He just isn’t bothered About anybody else

Meteorites from Mars are very rare At Purdue University it’s a massive thing over there It had been kept in a drawer Nobody knew what for Until somebody saw Its potential For the first time this century A scientist has solved this Martian meteorite mystery She crushed a piece of Mars The planet, not the bar Found something spectacular Vomitoxin Pig vomit toxin is the key Now it’s been discovered in her laboratory It came from the US From Lafayette no less She took a wild guess And she cracked it It fell to Earth In 1929 And now a Scottish scientist called Dr Aine O’Brien An environmental and planetary Organic geochemist at Glasgow University Using mass spectrometry Fucking smashed it She found preserved organic molecules, put them in jars Evidence which helped her learn more about life on Mars The deoxynivalenol (DON for short) Contaminated grain crops like corn, just as she had thought It also made pigs throw up

Oh, hear this Nicola Sturgeon The last time we met We played a song by Whyte & Mackay Called ‘Just Say Yes’ Now there’s another referendum In 2023 If we have to sing it again It better be without tears Ah, here she comes (here we go) Here she comes, (here we go) here she comes again (here we go) The same old tainted lady From the brow of the superbrain Don’t shit yourself again Scotland Don’t let us down again Or a couple of songs from my old scrapbook Could send you home again

A Scottish Labour man Looked at the thistle And said we don’t need a rose anymore We’ve got enough pricks and gristle I’d like to have a plan To try and save our world But I’m just a Neanderthal man Will you be my Neanderthal girl?

And I would do anything for love, Even appear on Question Time I would do anything for love, Stick to my principles until I die Oh I feel Fiona Bruce is speaking to me, And I would do anything for love, But I won’t get vaxxed No I won’t do that
12.
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

Jubile 01:22
Here’s a new word for the OED A mixture of jubilant and servile A portmanteau for the jubilee Or juvenile, puerile and bile I have a brand new word Scorching when it lands Jubile Take it off my hands Jubile, jubile, jubile It was a typo on a poster Stuck on a wall, You’ve got to laugh You’ve GOT to laugh I have a brand new word Jubilant and servile Jubile Jubilant and servile Jubile, jubile, jubile

Robbing from the poor, giving to the rich Robbing from the poor, giving to the rich Moggy , Moggy, Moggy Out out out Into that ditch Now’s the time to get up and do it Now’s the time to forget that you blew it Now’s the time to get up and do it Now’s the time to forget that you blew it Tap turns on the water, see the waters flow Acorn makes a forest, watch the forest grow Go

When I wake up, well I know I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be the man who does a parody But if I go out, yeah I know it’s gonna be It’s gonna be at least minus five degrees When I’m typing, well I know I’m gonna be I’m gonna be the man regretting what I do And when I haver, I don’t really want to be The man tweeting like Elon says we have to And we will get 4,000 characters And then 4,000 more Until we get 400,000 Filling up our monitors

When I got back from Whitburn My wife said that can’t be right You said you were going to Winchburgh I thought, Oh shite The day I drove to Whitburn Thinking I was going to Winchburgh The day I drove to Whitburn I get Inverary mixed up with Inverurie Which is worse cos they’re on opposite sides of the country Now I know I’m getting older The day I drove to Whitburn Thinking I was going to Winchburgh

I love watching twitter fall apart The blue tick people tearing out their hearts Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing I love the sadness in their eyes More farewells, more goodbyes I never even knew your now rotting profile While friends and lovers mourn your silly ways They’re moving to Mastodon, darling It’s because I view the modern world as a spiritually bereft narcissistic clusterfuck where nothing of real substance matters anymore* Nihilism’s where it’s at Swing on the chandeliers Swing a dead cat Embracing the absurdity Of watching the ex health secretary In a jungle on TV That’s where we are We are bereft We are bereft We are bereft
