It’s a song about Emily
Emily goes to Public School
Eton Rifles all the way
Britain follows her own rules
Repeat Repeat like Groundhog Day – day – day ….
Sarah’s sharing silent culture
I’ve got no fire in my wine
UK sensibilities unfolding
Buying privilege is fine – fine - fine
We looked around – Kept our feet on the ground
And I thought I’d seen everything
And I thought I’d seen everything
Now all the kids that went to public school
They’ve dismantled the welfare state
Privatised the air we are breathing
Finance war and finance hate – HATE – HATE – HATE

You don’t do god – coz you don’t believe in – nursery rhymes and fairy t-t-tales
Those were the days – when we believed them – it’s time to re connect again
Again and again Again and again Again and again Again and again
What a world – I’m so glad you’re staying – remember when were on that train ?
Those were our days – but we didn’t know them – it’s time to disconnect again
Again and again Again and again Again and again Again and again
God is dead – but we’re not lonely – don’t make yourself sick on the window-panes
Then we woke up bright and early – the speakers hummed we set off home again
Again and again

Insane World

Every day - people say – it’s insane - the way we live today
In this world – or so it seems – to kill or maim for pride and gain
You should talk about it – they say
You should write about it – yeah ok
But don’t shout about it - anyway
One day it will all go away
Every day – it’s insane – about everything
But it’s the systems way
You should talk about it – so they say
You should write about it – yeah ok
But don’t shout about it - anyway
One day it will all have gone away
It’s insane – the games we play – the way we live - it seems that we want it this way
You should shout about it – so they say
Just don’t think about it – anyway
But don’t shout about it – today
Coz they’ll take it all away
Coz they’ll take it all away
They’ll take your liberty all away

Explain Zombie Unfold Here
Hanging Ana Bash and Codeine
Working out the Prozac in my brain
Ego Damage Smokescreen OC
Chmip Effect so it’s Not Funny
In your dreams I listen to those bands
The weather – changed
Whatever – changed …

Remember Me

Captain Remember Me (Captain Remember Me)
I’ve been a thousand years away
Been a long time at sea
I wanted to hear what the humans say
Captain Remember Me (Captain Remember Me)
Visionaries seem to come and go
Been on a summer breeze
Or so it goes
Brother Remember Me (Brother Remember Me)
These are the things that we should know
There’s something about the sea
Plateau shifts and tidal flows
Brother Remember Me (Brother Remember Me)
Hidden places where we would go – Approval-seeking machines or so it goes
You could be the sun
You could be the wind and the rain
You could be the one
You could be why, we start again – why we start again - start again
Mother remember me (Mother remember me)
And all the things that we have lost
A delicate sprinkling
A glimmering of Blackpool frost
Sister Remember Me (Sister Remember Me)
A certain change in the autumn air
Constantly in search of things – are we aware
You could be the sun
You could be the wind and the rain
Loved by Everyone
You could be why we start again – why we start again - start again

Forever Now – changed it completely
Still remember how – I thought they’d never meet me
We’re not The Rolling Stones, The Beatles or …..
Forever Green – the fields they roll and flow as under
- neath a winter’s scene – in graveyards dark and shade I wonder
We’re not The Rolling Stones, The Beatles or …..
Forever Now – these streets I wander
Still remember how – this life we ponder
We’re not The Rolling Stones, The Beatles or …..
Forever hope – the weather hit us in September
Will our chess game – be concluded by December ?
Well they’re not The Rolling Stones,
The Beatles or Ramones
And it’s not Miss Saigon ?
Or Jamesy’s Moss Icon
We’re not The Rolling Stones
We’re not The Rolling Stones

Visiting The City

Visiting the city’s always great – it meant so much to me, so much to you
Husker Du Seven Inch – OK ! ….. meant so much to me, so much to you
We don’t understand the writing on the wall – We don’t understand at all
Visiting the city’s always great – it meant so much to me, so much to you
Going down to Wemb-erlee – OK ! ….. it meant so much to me, so much to you
We don’t understand the writing on the wall – We didn’t understand at all
We still focus on the differences we made – we don’t make it anyway
Visiting the city’s not that great – don’t mean too much to me, much to you
Visiting the city’s not the same ….. don’t meant so much to me, much to you
We don’t understand this writing on the wall – We don’t understand it at all
Looking back upon the references I saved– and the differences we never made
We don’t understand the writing on the wall – We don’t understand at all
Looking back on all the differences we made – never made it any way
We don’t understand the writing on the wall – We don’t understand at all

Here I am down at the water’s edge
Things are deep, deeper than me
Gone are days, we used to dream of them
These are days when we wait, and wait and wait and wait ….
For Lord Sugar to see you now
For Lord Sugar will see you now
see you know
Former times, we used come and go
Deliberate, fall over ourselves
Never dared. to ask permission then
But now we scheme and scheme and scheme and scheme
For Lord Sugar to see you now
Lord Sugar will see you now
see you now
see you now
Modern worlds they occupy our space
We get along but we don’t get paid
Cheerleaders for modern times now
Technology – is such a part, a part, a part, a part, apart
For Lord Sugar to see us now
For Lord Sugar to see us now
For Lord Sugar to see us now
For Lord Sugar to see us now

Keep on moving baby it will be alright
Shining like a diamond baby, in the darkest night
And they’ll never know how great you are – keep on moving like a movie - star
And they’ll never know how great you are – keep on moving like a movie – star
A movie - A movie - A movie – A movie star
Always on the go now baby, get it right
On the cocktails maybe, all through the night
And they’ll never know how great you are – keep on moving like a movie - star
And they’ll never know how great you are – keep on living like a movie - star
A movie - A movie - A movie – A movie star – star – star – star
Oooh 0ooh ooohh

Sunshine Every Day

Meet The City Walls
They sound familiar, they sometimes shine
You have seen it all
They played Sun City and then got banned
Coz Anyway we’ll get by - on things we can’t imagine
You said hi - they said get out of my way
These streets are ours - we like to imagine
Coz we’ve got sunshine every day – every day
These things last for days
If you don’t see them coming, they drag you down
Living in the maze, imagine some place that we’ve found
Coz anyway we’ll get by - on things we can imagine
You said hi - they said get out of my way
These streets are ours - words go on forever
Coz we’ve got sunshine every day – every day
We’ll get by - neutrals can’t imagine
Graph-paper-brains, get the fuck out of my way
These worlds are ours – but you can’t imagine
Coz we’ve got sunshine - we’ve got sunshine - we’ve got sunshine - every day
