Ballad Of Flat White "Alright Mate?" "Yeah Alright" "I...Er..Wanted to talk to you about this Flat White thing you keep doing..." "Oh yeah?" "Yeah, look mate, don't you think it's gone on long enough now...?" "Oh right...Er I dunno..." "I mean you used to do some quite nice stuff really...." "You mean like Shut Out The Night - that sort of thing?" "No not that one -the other one, one with a girl singer" "Moments." "That's the one. You were doing alright with that one...didn't you get on the radio?" "Yeah I did yeah....." "This new stuff...Well...it's a bit weird mate..." " You think?" "Yeah. And all the swearing mate. Oh my fucking days, nobody wants to hear that on a record y'know...?" "Oh right.." "It's not personal, I just don't like to see you making a fool of yourself that's all..." "Yeah, I appreciate that mate, you're just saying...." "Yeah" (Awkward silence) "Same again?"

Hotbedding Where am I going to sleep tonight? The couch, the bench or bed? Where am I gonna sleep tonight? Where will I lay my head? Hotbedding…Yeah Yeah Hotbedding Where will I sleep tonight? The options stark & plain Where am I gonna sleep tonight Somewhere there is no blame Hotbedding…Yeah Yeah Hotbedding Where am I going to sleep tonight? When you tell me so Where am I gonna sleep tonight? Now I sleep alone Hotbedding…Yeah Yeah Hotbedding Where am I going to sleep tonight? The couch, the bench or bed? As I lay wondering And going out of my head

Billy Mann 02:11
Billy Mann Billy Mann, I just can’t understand Why do you have to win all of the time? Billy Mann We all do what we can, You don’t have to be top dog every time Oh Billy Mann… Billy Mann, Competitive man It’s been a game of winning Ever since school Made us fools Billy Mann, The faster you ran The more the girls would love your form it’s true Oh Billy Mann… Billy Mann, We need a new plan Because we all tick the box marked ‘exit’someday Billy Mann Help me understand What makes you tick And does it still work for you? Billy Mann You’re not yesterday’s man Let today be a new day.

Kate’s Arousal Kate works in the pub behind the bar Lots of boys try it on but they don’t get far Kate’s a cool cat, dressed in black Showing all the other girls what they lack Now I ain’t talkin’ nothin’ spousal, But all the boys would love to contribute -To Kate’s arousal. Kate frequents the Snooker Club I can’t go in there it gets kinda rough She’s sinking balls like Ronnie She’s the kinda girl makes the whole world Seem sunny Now I ain’t talkin’ nothin’ spousal, But all the boys would love to contribute -To Kate’s arousal. Kate’s the girl boys dream about She gives us a smile When we’re out and and about She’s a Rock Chick babe Dressed in black She’s so cool & she takes me back Now I ain’t talkin’ nothin’ spousal, But all the boys would love to contribute -To Kate’s arousal. Tats all

A New Hope 02:02
A New Hope If only the sun would come out and shine On the righteous one more time If only the almighty (should he exist) Offer his children a sign Why can’t the good people have a moment to shine? Why can’t we have a new hope this time? A new hope A new hope A new hope We’ve been waiting for so long now People are hurting, heads are held low Those that decide should decide somehow To give some hope for us all Everything we had is broken All the words we hear are token And we are so tired we believe it all still Oh give us… A new hope A new hope A new hope I can’t remember if things were really always this way But I’m sure things could change someday If we had something to believe in And a new hope.

“No. Stop this. This is a NON-COMPLIANCE. The track playing is a B-Side from a previous Flat White record. This is a blatant disregard for the One Month Album Rules. To reiterate, they are: - Write and record an album in a month - The goal is to try and reach 10 tracks, Or, 35 minutes of material. Everything must be written AND recorded during the month, but other than that it's up to you - It could be songs, instrumentals, field recordings, spoken word, anything goes. When you are done, upload your album to a bandcamp page and submit it to the group. We trust this clear. Now carry on.”

I Only Cheated A Little Bit I only cheated a little bit Really worked a charm I only cheated a little bit What was the harm? I only hurt myself I said Was only acting cold I only cheated a little bit No one else was involved I only cheated a little bit Who will ever know? I only cheated a little bit Why not have a go? Just a cheeky chappie Never meant no harm I only cheated a little bit Everybody stay calm I only cheated a little bit Hardly hurt at all I only cheated a little bit Who would ever know? I don’t feel guilty, not a bit Though I was a bit of a so & so… I only cheated a little bit You don’t have to go.

Gibraltar! 02:06
Gibraltar! Gibraltar! Land of the free Where monkeys run free Oh, to spend my days again in Gibraltar Gibraltar! Island in the sun But not like the Falklands It’s attached to Spain You see Gibraltar! My chest fills with pride Throw open the doors Step outside into Gibraltar! Our Empire Overseas We will bring these aggressors To their knees Gibraltar! As English as the pound When pounds were round And of note Gibraltar! I’d give every pound note To some bloke To keep Gibraltar with me God save the Queen.

Mushroom Fear There’s a giant rabbit on a sky blue leaf Playing a cool jazz riff I saw a turbot on the way to work Riding a bike that was a gift Perception is deception Nothings what it seems Who’s to say we aren’t really Living in a dream I ate plate of mushrooms Back in ‘96 You’d think by now the world would have stopped Playing me these tricks There’s a spider in the bathroom Reading Baudelaire Complaining in fluent german Of web in his hair Perception is deception Nothings what it seems Who’s to say we aren’t really Living in a dream I ate plate of mushrooms Back in ‘96 You’d think by now the world would have stopped Playing me these tricks There’s three trick sisters winking at The horses in the sky I’m pretty fed up of asking Why the wolves are in their eyes Perception is deception Nothings what it seems Who’s to say we aren’t really Living in a dream I ate plate of mushrooms Back in ‘96 You’d think by now the world would have stopped Playing me these tricks My mind gave birth the other day to a three legged dog A dog which promptly asked me why The house was wreathed in fog Perception is deception Nothings what it seems Who’s to say we aren’t really Living in a dream I ate plate of mushrooms Back in ‘96 You’d think by now the world would have stopped Playing me these tricks.

Let’s Call You Adrian Let’s call you Adrian And what have you done? Killed a lot of people That’s what you’ve done And the wicked terrorists Claim you as one of their own Even though the Middle East Is probably Norfolk to you Let’s call you Adrian And what have you done? Hurt a lot of people Who probably never hurt anyone It’s not like you were a teenager You’re a man of my age What filled you with hate And so much rage? Let’s call you Adrian Because that is your name I won’t call you Mohammed Whatever you claim.

The Land Of Make Believe Under the oceans Away from view Our fearless Tridents Are protecting me & you Ask four times if the occasional test Flies not to the East but rather the West Where lies the land of the free Unless you happen to be a refugee They voted in a fascist President Yep, I still find that hard to believe Welcome to the land of make believe Where nothing is real And you can’t trust what you see Welcome to the land of make believe Where bullshit is king And the liar bird sings Right here in Palookaville Our hospitals are full And our beloved leaders talk & talk But most of it is bull Better close those borders they say Shut ‘em up tight We don’t them foreigners Working here alright? Welcome to the land of make believe Where nothing is real And you can’t trust what you see Welcome to the land of make believe Where bullshit is king And the liar bird sings Welcome to the land of make believe You couldn’t make it up It must be a dream Welcome to the land of make believe They can do what they want And say what they please. Off trots our PM to make a grubby pact With the lord of misrule and alternative facts She’s holding the hand Of pussy grabbing drool And there’s no way ever in the world That’s ever gonna be cool Welcome to the land of make believe Where nothing is real And you can’t trust what you see Welcome to the land of make believe Where bullshit is king And the liar bird sings Welcome to the land of make believe You couldn’t make it up It must be a dream God bless America God help us. I’m not racist but, I’m not racist but, I’m not racist but, I’m not racist but, I’m not racist but, You are racist but, So just shut up.

Life Is Shit 02:40
Life Is Shit Life is shit And it’s only going to get worse It’ll be shit From the cradle To the hearse And when the rockets start to fly That will be the time to say bye-bye Life is shit Always been that way I spit in the eye Of what the optimists say And when even the cheery start to cry That will be the time to say bye-bye Life is shit And it’s nothing new Everyday a darker shade of blue And when the bombs light up the sky I’ll be happy to say bye-bye Life is shit And we are in the ruts I’d end it all If I had the guts But I’m just a coward With a pen So I guess I’ll get up tomorrow To all this shit again. Tomorrow...
